So I mentioned in the last post, that we played Miskatonic School for Girls (which can be purchased at Amazon) created by Fun to 11 Games a little over a week ago. It’s a cute game, cashing in on the popularity of Lovecraft themed anything. The premise is that each player has a “House” at… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #235 – Review: Miskatonic School for Girls
So, I finally joined the cult of the iPhone. I loved my Blackberry, but the battery was dying and Barnes & Noble were no longer supporting the Nook eReader software for Blackberry, so I couldn’t get to half my books, which was the last straw. Look, I’ll put up with my phone dying at inopportune… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #234 – We Are Everywhere and an Update on the Last Post
Ok, so I recorded this at Geek Girl Con and kept forgetting to post it because of cat emergencies, vacation and other stresses. In response to a question from someone on twitter, I asked Rachel Edidin to talk to me about feminist comics, amongst other things. http://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/2083718/height/360/width/640/direction/no/autoplay/no/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/preload/no/no_addthis/no/ In case the embedding doesn’t work, here’s the… Read More Geek Girls Rule!

After two weeks of medication and a continuing decline, we discovered The Man had developed an aggressive, fast-growing cancer and we had to put him to sleep the day we started our vacation. The hedgepig died… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #233 – The Ethics of Real Person Fic
Ok, first off, for all my geeks going to PAX this weekend, re-read this post, and remember to tip. Because when you don’t tip, you give us all a bad rep and you’re mistreating the people who serve your food and drink. Now, onto the meat of what I want to talk about. I love… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #232 – Women Cosplaying Male Characters
Ok, I’m not a huge steampunk fan. I have, in fact, been heard to opine that steampunk is what happens when goths discover brown. But honestly, I’m pretty content to live and let live, and I do enjoy well crafted costumes, regardless of subject matter. So, I have no particular beef with steampunk. I don’t… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #231 – Review: Mark Hodder’s Burton and Swinburne Books!
Author of The Stainless Steel Rat and Bill the Galactic Hero books, you will be missed, sir.
Ok, seriously people, this is getting fucking ridiculous. I’ve touched on this in a few recent blog posts and sort of on the podcast. But this is the deal: Knock it off with the Geek Policing. Got it? For a start, you almost only ever do it to women, which is sexist. You primarily do… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #230 – “Fake” Geek Girls
Ok, so I missed this last year because we had cat illness that ate all our money. This year, I decided I was going even if it meant we ate ramen for the next month. So, Saturday morning I hopped on a bus and went down to the convention center. OMG, YOU GUYS!!!!! It was… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #229 – Geek Girl Con
