This week's episode is sponsored by the wonderful geeky illustrator Karen Hallion. Click here to check out her beautiful art and her Patreon! This week, we're joining forces with two favorite organizations: International Geek Girl Pen Pals and Geek Girl Brunch. I'm so thankful for Heidi and Joanna who partnered with me on this virtual pen pal project.    Things are super hard right now, and we need to be there for each other (even though we can't physically be there for each other). Thankfully there are so many digital resources, and we're adding another to the mix.   Through April 15, you can sign up for a special virtual round of digital pen pal pairing. The application is super simple: we just need a few pieces of info like your email and favorite fandoms, and the IGGPP team will connect you with a match!    There's also an accompanying Discord channel where we can all hang out digitally and plan other fun virtual activities.   If you'd like a little extra human connection, please join us. And if you're catching this after April 15, you can still sign up for future Geek Girl Pen Pal matches!   Stay safe, and Say nerdy.  Special thanks to our editor + music composer Dan Ison and our executive producers for this episode LoganArch and Karen Hallion.   If you enjoyed this episode, you might love the rest of our episodes!

Jamila Rowser’s Twitter bio (used to) say: Community Builder. And it’s spot on. Jamila is behind Geek Girl Brunch - an international meetup of women who geek out together over mimosas. She’s also one-half of the creative force behind Straight Outta Gotham, a hip hop and geek culture newsletter. And Jamila is also bringing to the world an all-girl created comic called Wash Day.“I wanted to celebrate these moments that aren’t talked about that much, but are a big part of our lives.” The Wash Day story follows Kimana, a 26-year-old Afro-Latina woman living in the Bronx, as she cares for her long, thick hair.On the podcast, Jamila talks style and beauty: her love for Fenty products, a catseye and a bold lip. And even though she lives in Florida, you’ll find Jamila wearing all black with a pop of colour.Oh, and we talk about place. Jamila is an air force brat, born in England, raised in Hawaii and educated in Germany. She talks about the confidence she has gained from an international childhood on the move.Follow Jamila on Twitter @JamilaRowser and on Instagram @JamilaRowser✨Music: Ghost Hands by Cal Folger Day⚡️Thank you to our Season 4 sponsor In Good CoYour besties mean better buys.

What's up, baah-d kids? This week we met up with Ana from LeGeekyLiife and Roundtable Podracers to chat about Feminism in Star Wars. We met Ana through our Miami chapter of Geek Girl Brunch and she is our go-to person for everything that is Star Wars related. So, if you're into Star Wars and feminism, get ready because it's one hell of a ride. https://babylambspodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/BL-Ep-6.mp3 If you'd like to check out more from Ana, click on the links below.

This episode is sponsored by Geek Girl Strong.   Jamila Rowser has been a star in my section of the Internet since I first found the geek girl community. She's one of the three founders of Geek Girl Brunch (along with Rachel from Episode 007 and Yissel who will be on an episode soon). It's always so cool to talk to someone who started a thing that drastically changed my entire life and business.   Jamila is always working on something cool, and now that cool thing is her new comic Wash Day. Wash Day is a slice-of-life comic that pays tribute to the beauty and endurance of Black women and their hair. Jamila was inspired by the Toni Morrison quote, “If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.” It's being funded on Kickstarter right now, so you should absolutely check that out. If you're reading this after the Kickstarter has ended, you can still find details at washdaycomic.com.   One of the coolest things about the Wash Day project (on top of the beautiful story) is the team that Jamila has put together. Jamila is writing, Robyn Smith has done the gorgeous art, J. A. Micheline is editing, and, now that this project has hit its stretch goal, Joamette Gil is translating the story into Spanish. Talk about a dream team.   Please follow Jamila all over the internet @JamilaRowser and at www.jamilarowser.com. I promise you won't be disappointed.   Thanks again for hanging out with us, and please help show your support by subscribing, leaving a review, or checking out our Patreon at www.patreon.com/sartorialgeek.   Stay nerdy.

This episode is sponsored by Foam Armor Club. If there's such a thing as being an expert nerd, Rachel Parker is that. Not only is Rachel one of the founders of Geek Girl Brunch, she's also a wonderful cosplayer, D&D enthusiast, Star Wars fanatic, podcast host extraordinaire, and knows everything you could ever want to know about enjoying conventions. We tapped into some of her knowledge to create this First Time Con-Goers Guide. Rachel's main piece of advice? Don't try to do too much! If you can, try to establish your priorities early.   There are three main focuses when attending conventions: Socializing Go where your friends go! Conventions are a great place to hang out. Find out which conventions your buddies are planning to attend, and go with them!   This can also be a great strategy for buying tickets for the cons that are a little crazier. Make a plan to buy a bunch of tickets together for your whole group!   Cosplay Cosplaying on your own is doable, but it's way better with friends. You can find other cosplayer groups and meetups by searching Facebook or asking around. That's also a great way to find group photo ops!   Having a friend to help you carry things (like a cosplay first aid kit), help you move around in your cosplay, and help you do trickier tasks like eating and going to the bathroom, can be a big help. (Related: if you're a cosplay handler, our sponsor FoamArmorClub has some things you'll love.)   Panels & Autographs If your main goal is stalking all of your favorite celebrities, the best piece of advice is to realize that you probably won't be able to see everyone. Lines for panels can be very long; sometimes people even camp out overnight.   Give yourself a backup plan, especially because the thing you really want to do may cap out our change (which can happen a lot when celebrities are involved). Look at your convention app or schedule to check times and locations. Scope out the rooms ahead of time because they might not be where you expected or be sort of far away. Read all the fine print and know where to check for potential changes. And most importantly, only plan to do 3-5 things.   With conventions, sometimes what you don't bring is as important as what you bring.   Don't overpack, because you have to carry everything you have with you all day. Big bags will be annoying in a crowd. If you want to buy something heavy or fragile, consider leaving that purchase until the end of the day.   Packing List Cosplay first aid kit (safety pins, thread, tape, super glue, etc.) Band-aids Pain killers Water bottle Granola bars Battery packs     In addition to all of this, we put together a list of important tips for first timers: Wear good shoes and buy shoe inserts (unless your cosplay won't allow it) When buying tickets, know that some conventions increase in price as the con approaches Look up weapons and cosplay policies Check if your convention has lockers or charging stations Realize that lines for bathroom and food might be very very long, so don't wait Know that there might not be cell service. Make a plan with your friends ahead of time, take screenshots of photo op tickets, and make sure you have your schedule written down or in offline mode.   And most of all, respect con culture: Be polite Ask permission to take photos of cosplayers Same rules apply as when you go to a music festival or Disney World We really hope you enjoy your first con! Please come find me or Rachel when you do!   Follow Rachel on Twitter, Instagram, and subscribe to her podcasts: Twitter: @DarthRachel Instagram: @Darth_Rachel Fire & Lunch: http://fireandlunch.podbean.com Read This F**king Book: http://rtfbpodcast.podbean.com Join our Patreon for bonus gifts and content!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/sartorial-geek.

This week on the MashReads Podcast, we read and discuss Zora Neale Hurston's timeless classic Their Eyes Were Watching God. Then, inspired by Their Eyes Were Watching God and Black History Month, we discuss our favorite books by black authors. And as always we close the show with recommendations. Aliza recommends the trailer for the movie adaptation of Nicola Yoon's YA novel 'Everything, Everything.' She also recommends a list of geeky feminist projects after attending the Strand bookstore's Galentine's Day event this week including Geek Girl Brunch, an international meetup group that hosts activities for geeky women and Geek Girl Strong, a program and community that combines geekdom with fitness. Peter recommends 'The Fifth Season' by N.K. Jemisin. "It's really, really, really great. Especially in terms of fantasy... It's a rainbow of people and characters in a way that I have personally have found sendom in a fantasy genre. And it's wonderful and refreshing." MJ recommends 'Dear White People' the 2014 movie that inspired the upcoming Netflix series of the same name. "What I loved about this movie is that it felt like a dialogue...Whether you agree with the politics of the characters or not, [the movie] felt like a smart, rich dialogue that we should be having right now."

A few months ago (read: over a year ago) I (Hadas) set out to do another tv show rematch with my Iggle pals. Rewatch Recap: We previously rewatched Roswell, the alien teenage romance drama from The WB. Then Freaks and Geeks, a very short-lived cult classic. Next up was Twin Peaks, which divided our hosts. Some were die-hards and others were apprehensive, or just down right angry at it. What's Next? The show we decided to watch and rewatch was Veronica Mars. On the panel, this time, were Cassidy, Kristy, Meghan. Check them out on their own blogs and Twitter accounts! Veronica Mars is a cult classic yet Kristy and I have never seen it before. We came into it with different ideas of what the show could be and we're both very pleasantly surprised. The show is more mature than it seems. It's well-executed plot wise and by its incredible and underrated cast. Quick Intro to Veronica Mars' Themes: Mystery Mature Themes Class Divide Racial Issues What Do You Love about Veronica Mars? -- The IGGPPC are great friends that created a friendly inclusive community of passionate people aka geeks.You can find a friend that is into what you're into. You can find people who are passionate about almost everything. My favorite "geek love?" Tea! Sign up to find your own pen pal or to join the community!

JK Rowling created a very detailed and well-plotted story. Yet how come Hogwarts' students miss out on traditional problem solving and critical thinking lessons? Are most wizards idiots? Jada an officer of Geek Girl Brunch and Julia of our future Lost rewatch podcast episodes suggested we discuss more philosophical issues in Harry Potter. Like how the media works in the wizarding world and what aspects of the muggle world do Wizards actually care about and/or get involved in. This has been one of my favorite Potterweek records so far.

Relationships in Harry Potter and fun and frustrating. Ginny and Harry make sense on paper, but some people can't stand their pairing. Lily and James together is confusing, but is Lily and Snape any better?   On this fourth Potterweek episode of 2016, I'm joined by Alice aka Kangaru on the interwebs and Kayla of Epicfied from all over the net. Both ladies suggested discussing the romantic relationships in Harry Potter, that they cannot stand!   Which Relationships in Harry Potter Do You Dislike Most?

You know that family member you don't get along with? They've got nothing on the Dursleys. Imagine for yourself two humans who show absolutely no love towards an orphaned infant. On this #Potterweek episode, our guest co-host Kris of No Added Words, suggested we discuss Harry Potter's aunt and uncle. It's our third episode of the week because, in book 3, Aunt Marge's presence shows us a slightly different shade (of purple) of Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia.   Listen in!   Check out our Potterweek posts here: 7/25 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone movie commentary with Megan Gotch aka The Nerdy Girlie and Katie Elhoffer of Elhoffer Designs.

What happens when you have a Gryffindor, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff rewatch Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone? For starters, a whole lot of different opinions about the Weasleys. So how does this work? Simply have you movie ready to press play at around 16-22 seconds. When we say press play, you should be right about where the Privet Drive sign is shown.

Another oldie but a goodie. Back in November, we consumed a bit too much for Non-Fiction November*. One of the documentaries we watched and recorded about just didn't get edited in time. Listen in as Christine, Debbie, Margaux, and I (Hadas) talk about 20 Feet From Stardom. We look at the documentary in terms of presentation and content. We also indulge a bit and discuss which award we'd love to win. Where we'd put it. Who we'd love to sing back up for and our first concert experiences. Share your answers in the comments! For more information about the women mentioned in this documentary check out the official site.    What is your favorite music documentary? As mentioned on previous posts, we’ve been watching a few documentaries for our#NonFicNov event. Listen in as we discuss Tig, Good Hair, and The True Cost.

The ladies are finally getting the flattering geeky threads they always wanted. But what about the guys, eh? Men's Fandom Fashion is the topic for our first episode back from a long hiatus (an explanation is on the episode). This episode was recorded a long time ago. Actually a long long time ago before SWVII was released... /sheepish. One of our friends from the Con Radio familia, Tony B Kim aka Crazy4ComicCon joined me to talk about a project he's been working on for quite a while. When I spoke to the Con Radio familia about collaborating on an episode together, Tony got very excited about F3.  Tony's project involves creating a line of presentable clothes for men who want to represent their fandoms. Listen in to us chat about the idea, the process, convention love, and more background about Tony. Check out Tony's podcast, website, and follow him on Twitter for great conversation starters.

Yep, the long awaited fight between the Bat of Gotham and the Son of Krypton was released in March. Reviewers were unkind, fans had mixed opinions, and the stars were defensive. Joining me (Hadas) were Meghan aka @mesulli on the interwebs and Summer aka @TheFinchery. Check them out on the following sites! Meghan on Girls on the Grid and Summer on The Charming Finch. SPOILERS ON THE EPISODEAND IN THIS POST!!! Here are the topics we discussed: Expectations for Batman v SupermanThe reviews for this film were very opinionated. Did they scare you about the movie before or during your viewing? -- Diving into Batman v Superman, we discussed the plotlines. As I mentioned on the ep, even while writing this list down I was confused, which is telling about this film. Questions About Batman v Superman: Is Lois damsel-ed here? Or is it refreshing to see her jump into all aspects of her job, be brave, and do whatever she wants? Superhero movies are formulated to lead up to the next film rather than stand alone. Do you think superhero movies are ruined by Hollywood because there's not a lot of room to play with that format?

What do you think about when you hear the term indigenous people? I usually think of Native Americans, yet they aren't the only indigenous people on the planet. Only in the last five years did I learn about the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders of Australia. For International Women's Month, I wanted to make sure we featured as many different nations. I also wanted to create pieces that were a bit meatier so we could get something out of these posts. Luckily Ebony, aka The Travelling Unicorn, was able to help me get to know a group of people I knew just 1 thing about.   Ebony and I discuss Australia's treatment of the aboriginal people, the distinction between the terms indigenous and aboriginal, the reasons behind the mistreatment, how society is changing, and how representation is very slowing improving.  The Stolen Children issue and Further Reading on comrom.co.Check Out More International Women's Month Content here! -- Let us know what you think of the episode here. -- On Common Room we don’t have ads.

Sonia Liao is the wonderful artist behind Helena Rose which Debbie and I reviewed a few months ago. Read that here and please get the comic, it's beautiful both in art and story. Sonia and I talked about geekery at first. A bit of X-Men, Man of Steel, and Batman v Superman pre-release. We then talked about gaming, online communities, friendships, and what it was like for her grow up as someone of Asian-descent in America. Being part of a specific community is something we had in common even though we come from very different backgrounds. There are limitations, benefits, and a learning curve.

We met Lynne Yoshii through Emet Comics. She is the artist behind Inside the Loop (our review is coming soon!). I had so much fun talking to her about nerd things we actually spoke for a bit after the ep as well. Hawaii Lynne Yoshii was born in Hawaii! I am very jealous of course for Lost reasons. Her family is Japanese and while she was in Hawaii they made sure she learned the language by enrolling her into a special Japanese-only supplementary school. In fact, she was one of if not the only American residents there. (Related: Have opinions about Lost? Click here.) Japanese Culture To help her connect with the Japanese culture and language, her parents happily indulged any request to buy comics. So Lynne has been very familiar with many types of manga and anime since she was a child and discovered western art as she grew up. New York We also discussed what it's like to live in New York.

Sometime in 2015, I realized that some of the leaders of the large lady nerd communities I was part of were self-proclaimed military brats. I invited them on the episode and the conversation went in a direction I couldn't have predicted! Megan Gotch aka The Nerdy Girlie and Jamila Rowser co-founder of Geek Girl Brunch joined me to talk about what military brat-hood was like. Whether they were exposed to other cultures and how. How being an MB helped them create their websites and communities, and help them help themselves.
