First, I want to apologize for missing last week. Between the jerk who fucked us out of being able to buy the house we’re in trying to sell it out from under us, and getting ready to move into the new house which, while not the unicorn we thought this house was, is still pretty… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #361 – Writing Inclusively
