I talk about the Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood a lot. My most re-tweeted tweet was “Dear Republican Party, The Handmaid’s Tale is a dystopian SF novel, not a how-to manual. No Love, Me.” I blame it in part for my stationery hoarding problem. I reference it in talking about Bitch Planet. It’s kind of a… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #323 – SF Feminist History: The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
Deadpool! Finally saw it. Yeah, the weekend we were going to go initially I was in the hospital, then more surgical crap, then the plague… So, yes, last night we went to the boozy theater and finally watched Deadpool. I loved it. It was not without its problematic bits. There was a transphobic joke, a… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #322 – Review: Deadpool
Ok, so Captain America: Civil War is due to come out around my birthday. I will undoubtedly go see it, probably opening weekend. But I don’t entirely know how I feel about it. See, I hate the Civil War storyline. Hate it. Look, Mark Millar, I get it. When you wrote Wanted, it was all… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #318 – Team Cap All the Way
Ok, so there’s been a lot going on at the Geek House What Rules. I had my gallbladder out last year, and that was more of an ordeal than I was promised. So it’s been a year adjusting to a new diet and the fact that many of the foods I love do horrible things… Read More I’m Baaaaaaaack!

So, yeah, I’m old. I, in fact, remember the 1980s Satanic Panic, where everything from music to movies were tools of Satan just waiting to corrupt and destroy American culture and our way of life. One of the “victims” of the Satanic Panic was Dungeons & Dragons. According to Jack Chick’s “Dark Dungeons,” as well… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #308 – The 80s Satanic Panic and the RPG Industry
So, um, gallstones are a thing. A thing that sucks. They are a thing that sucks enough to land my ass in the hospital for two nights, and require an endoscopic surgery and a shitload of dilaudid. Yeah. Sorry guys. I’m still on pain pills. I try to post more later.
I think the Madripoor chapters have to be my least favorite. Or as I describe them to the Geek Husband What Rules, “Help! Help! I’m being attacked by offensive racial stereotypes!” Sigh. Well, with the good will come some bad, apparently.
Well, I’m here. I’ve been here, just not having a particularly awesome spring. Climate Change doesn’t just mean potential coastline flooding and droughts, it also means extended hayfever seasons. The pollen count here is the highest it’s ever been, and my allergies went along for the ride. I had the worst asthma attack I’ve… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #294 – Where in the World is the Geek Girl What Rules?
Ok, I don’t know if I’ve ever actually iterated this here. I mean, I could look, but it’s my day off, I’m slouching around the house in leggings and an Avengers T-shirt doing laundry, so motivation is not something I’ve got much of today. And even if I have said this before, it’s been awhile… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #285 – My Stance on the “-Isms”: A public service announcement
