Get to know us

We are so close to airing our first podcast (and bonus content!) we can almost taste it. For the time being, we thought we’d share with you a little bit about ourselves. There is our About page, listing our fandoms and offering a bio snapshot, but if you’d like to know a little more about your Geekquality editors, we’ve got that covered:

  • Alice Marie, on growing up a feisty feminist and the support from her mother
  • Elyse, on carving out a geek path in southern California
  • Jen R. L. Disarray, on her experience reading The Mysts of Avalon as a kid
  • Lois Payne, on the hero’s journey to geekdom and things you should not say if you don’t want her to kick you
  • Moxie Munroe, sharing a recipe of what makes a geek and the challenges of being a geek woman of color
  • Tanya, on her pop culture education as a teen immigrant arriving in the U.S.

So get to know us, and while you’re at it, tell us a bit about yourself in the comments. What makes you a geek? What are your fandoms? What gets your hackles up – misrepresentation, cliches, you name it – we want to know!

Rick Grimes, why are you actually the worst person on the Earth? I think zombies eat more brains than you even have. Do you breathe air or do you just subsist on a molecular diet of stupid? Because, I don’t even know anymore.

If Carl Grimes dies because he walks off a cliff claiming to have never seen the fall coming, I wouldn’t even blame him, because at least he got his stupid honest.

Anyone who has been keeping up with AMC’s hit series The Walking Dead will tell you that essentially it is about a group of Snorks who arrive on land only to be caught in the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse. Or maybe that’s not what it’s about. It doesn’t matter because I’m pretty sure sea monkeys in a bottle of water are smarter than most of the people on this show.

We are 6 episodes into the 3rd season and in the most recent episode (which I like to call “Annie Get Your Gun”, and I’m sure production likes to call something else) our two leads find out that they’re in for a little bundle of shitting, screaming liability. As you can expect, they totally can not deal.  Continue reading

It’s happening!

Our inaugural podcast has been recorded and Elyse is now in the process of doing the edit and mastering. We had a fantastic time sitting down for a group chat. We hope to have our first podcast available for your enjoyment within a week or two.

In the meantime, continue to follow us on Twitter and also, if you are a Tumblr user, add us on Tumblr where we will be sharing random things we find interesting in geek culture.

Yours in excitement,
the Geekquality Team
