Yeah, I’m on this again. In part because Chris Evans is a fucking treasure and has been fighting with David Duke on twitter, if you want to find Captain Bigot’s twitter, you can google that shit. I’m not linking. In case you forgot, David Duke was Grand Wizard (and they call us dorks) of the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #359 -Captain America does not approve of your shenanigans
Today I’d like to bring you a quick email interview with Elsa S. Henry, creator of Dead Scare, a powered by the Apocalypse game coming out on February 14th. Because what says “Happy Valentine’s Day” like a zombie game? What were your early gaming experiences like? How did they lead you to designing games? I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #358 – Interview with Elsa S. Henry about Dead Scare (RPG)
This is something that pops up over and over in communities I’ve been a part of over the years, particularly online where words are divorced from expression and often from greater context.

Sorry, I missed Monday, guys. I was in the Women’s March on Saturday, which was fantastic, and full of nerdy signs! And I do want to talk about that. But I also want to talk about why I missed Monday: Because I was busy arguing about the ethics of punching nazis in the face. I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #354 – On Punching Nazis
Ok, seriously, guys. I am really torn on this one. I love ebooks. I can carry a library worth of books on my phone and or tablet, so if I get all weird and persnickety partway through a story, I can switch to another book without carrying eleventy-million pounds of them in my bag. Granted,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #353 – Gaming Books: Ebooks versus Physical Copies
So, yeah, Nick Spencer. They guy who made Cap Hydra, then claimed up and down it was for real, it wasn’t a mind control plot. Then it was, which, it may have been a walking back in reaction to fan response, it may have been the plot all along, I don’t know enough about how… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #352 – Nick Spencer, buddy…
I finally got to watch The Witch on January second, and it was fantastic. A lot of research and care went into this film. The costumes, the dialect, the word choice, everything was spot on. The only criticism the Best Girlfriend in the World could come up with was that they didn’t use tallow candles, they… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #351 – Review: The Witch
I wanted this movie to be great and it was! So, we went this past weekend. The theater was packed.
