So, articles, blog posts, and advertisements are full of entreaties for us to do something called “Self Care.” Frequently this is paired with some object or service you must buy to engage in said “self care.” Now, yes, self care is very important. and it also does not necessarily require a spa day, a facemask,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #437 – Geeky Self Care
So, those of you close to me know that I put together this year’s comics track paneling for Norwescon and am stepping way. I have been helping to put together and run various SF/F conventions in the Pacific Northwest for the bulk of the last 25 years, and I am tired. So, why do we… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #436 – Why Do We Do It: Running SF/F Conventions
Ok, so I have had four days of family emergency looming over my head, and I need a happiness break like whoa. I can’t get into it now, but it’s got my entire family agitated, even some of the distant parts, and I’m about ready to scream. So, I thought this would be great time… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #435 – Why Do We Do It: Fanfic

Ok, so for DECADES the clarion call of the cis het white dude nerd has been, “If you don’t like it, why don’t you make your own?!” (Imagine me saying that in the whiniest, most nasally voice I can manage. I still have a cold, I can get really nasally right now.) So, a group… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #432 – This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things
I hope this is coherent, I’m pretty loaded on cold medicine, having had to cancel some game demos this weekend rather than infect the world with this horrible death plague. Ok, honestly, it’s really just a horrific head cold with some gastro-intestinal distress issues. Yeah, I’m pretty. A friend of mine introduced me to this… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #431 – Nostalgia’s Great and All…

Saw The Last Jedi last night. And I would like to start this review with a measured and mature response to the film’s critics. Ahem. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way. I really enjoyed it.

So, yeah, one of the things I did this year was let my friends write my New Year’s Resolutions. I won’t go into all of them here, but I have to say, my friends came up with far better resolutions than I typically do. I encourage all of you to have your friends come up… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #429 – Geeky New Year!
