First, I would like to thank all of my subscribers. Yesterday, everyone who supports this blog helped pay for the vet appointment that gave us hope for saving the Enemy of Sleep in a way that will cause a minimum of distress. Thank you, very much. In specific you paid for the lab work to… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #464 – Why the Thanos Thing Bugged Me So Much I Couldn’t Let It Go
The BGFITW and the Martian took me out to see Avengers Infinity War Saturday for my birthday. Ok, I was trepidatious as fuck about this one, because as with Civil War, this is not one of my favorite storylines. Seriously, guys, there are soooo many, much better storylines to choose. Ugh. Basically, it was meh.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #463 – Review: Avengers Infinity War
Ok, first, go to the SocialJusticeLeague page for the article How to be a Fan of Problematic Things and read it. I’m just going to quote the main points of the article, because I don’t think I can say it any better: Firstly, acknowledge that the thing you like is problematic and do not attempt… Read More Geek Girls Rule #462 – A Refresher Course in Liking Problematic Things
“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” – Margaret Atwood Ooookay… So this is a thing I was hoping never to have to talk about again, but some InCel douchecanoe felt the need to run over women in a van because he wasn’t getting any.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #461 – GamerGaters, MRAs, PUAs, and InCels.
One of the problems I have doing this blog is that I often don’t realize that several of my interests are actually geeky. I mean, yes, comics, the MCU, gaming (video and roleplaying), being into SF/F, and a little bit being into Horror. But periodically I’m surprised when people tell me something else I like… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #460 – What Counts as Geeky?
Ok, so my friend Garpu suggested this podcast after Black Tapes ended. And it’s pretty fun. The Magnus Archives starts out as individual statements about various supernatural happenings. Initially they sound unconnected to one another, but as you listen for awhile, you start to recognize various names and creatures, and then it launches into it’s… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #459 – The Magnus Archives
HI! Sorry about the radio silence of the last few days. I was busy, and then got a couple of migraines, and today had some semi-mandatory work fun. So I have been slammed. I will make it up to you, I promise. Aaaannd I need to re-record this month’s Mickey Counts Down, because I fucked… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #458 – Review: Wayward Sisters
So, I said I’d get to this. I was giving Green Ronin a chance to update their proposal, or at the very least take it down pending massive edits, but two and a half weeks later neither of those things has happened, so here goes. The Green Ronin S.T.O.P. Proposal for dealing with sexual harassment… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #457 – Green Ronin’s S.T.O.P Proposal: How NOT to Handle Sexual Harassment
I know, I’ve talked about being a sucker for marketed stuff from my fandoms before. From the Nightcrawler shrine, to the Captain America wall art collection, I pretty much am a target market. So when I got the email about Bésame Cosmetics’ Field Agent Lip Kit, I rationalized buying it with the idea of reviewing… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #456 – Review: Bésame Cosmetics – Field Agent Lip Kit
Since Marvel Heroes is no more, I’ve been casting about for another MMORPG to play. I’m leery of a lot of MMORPGs, just because I have female friends who have played them, and have heard the horror stories about vent, chat and other forms of communication. I really enjoyed Marvel Heroes because it didn’t have… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #455 – Secret World Legends and MMORPGs
