You know, if you even think of commenting with, “Why would I want to do that?” as a joke, don’t. Just don’t. If you’re not a jerk, then feel free to read on. I know in the past, in answer to the question “How do I get women to game with me?” I’ve given the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #341 – So You Want to Game with Women, Trans People and POC*…
So, I first met one of the Bombshellers at the first Geek Girl Con at which I did panels, she was part of the group talking with Kelly Sue DeConnick after the Fat Girl Fat Fan panel. The gist of that panel was that there are a lot of plus size nerds out there with money… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #340 – Geek Fashion: Bombsheller
So, yeah, this is my big beef lately, ok, one of them. Earlier this year Marvel signed off on a storyline turning Cap (and Sarah Rogers, grrrrrrr) into fucking Hydra, but the idea of Cap being gay or bisexual is verboten. Bullshit is what that is. Yeah, this one’s gonna get sweary. Why on earth… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #339 – Because Cap Being a secret Nazi is more acceptable than Cap being Queer.
Ok, I broke down and went to see Bendydick Crumblebread in Marvel’s Dr. Strange because I am a sucker for Marvel. And it wasn’t bad. It had its faults. It does not come remotely close to passing the Bechdel test. The Ancient One, as much as I love Tilda Swinton, being whitewashed and the argument… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #338 – Review: Dr. Strange
Ok, 2016, I get it. You’re a badass, getting in as many licks as you can before you’re out… Yup, got rear-ended Tuesday night. So, yeah… I plan on taking a muscle relaxer, and as the Best Girlfriend in the World says, visiting “planet HOW DO PANTS WORK?” as soon as I’m done writing this.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #337 – Missing Stairs and Co-Opting the Language of the Oppressed
Sorry about missing last week, but the election happened and I’ve done an awful lot of drinking. Apart from my twitter feed, I am not interested in talking about it here. Find me somewhere else if you want to commiserate, or attempt to convince me (not gonna happen) that you aren’t a bigot if you… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #336 – The 20th AmberconNW
Or at least you’d think so if you’d ever been a woman on the fucking internet. It doesn’t seem to matter how serious or frivolous the topic, how well-educated or not we may be, the second we open our mouths on the internet some jerkoff with a keyboard and a burning need to display his dominance… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #335 – A Woman with an Opinion, Must be in Want of a Jerkface to Explain Why She’s Wrong…
All right, I don’t do a lot of promotion here, because I generally enjoy ranting more. But periodically, I feel like I need to promote the hell out of someone or something, and this time it’s the Kickstarter for the second edition of Monsterhearts. I love the original Monsterhearts, and I have definitely voided the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #334 -Monsterhearts 2 Kickstarter
So, a year or so ago, Berlynn Wohl pitched a panel we did at Geek Girl Con, called “Maybe an All-Women Gaming Group is Right for You.” The panel began with all five of the panelists recounting some of the bullshit we had put up with in gaming when we first started, or over the years.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #333 – What it Means to be a Geek Girl.
So, that appears to be how I roll. Months of nothing, and then suddenly, I’m moving, sending the Geek Husband What Rules off to a funeral on the other side of the state, doing three conventions in three weeks and a fourth after a break of a week. Go me. So, we moved. Nerdhaven is no… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #332 – All the Conventions
