Hoy quisimos traerles una lectura corta y que nos recordó la importancia de tomar tiempo para nosotras y apreciar esos pequeños momentos. Libro: Día de lavado por Jamila Rowser y Robyn Smith

Wash Day Diaries tells the story of four best friends—Kim, Tanisha, Davene, and Cookie—through five connected short story comics that follow these young women through the ups and downs of their daily lives in the Bronx. The book takes its title from the wash day experience shared by Black women everywhere of setting aside all plans and responsibilities for a full day of washing, conditioning, and nourishing their hair. Each short story uses hair routines as a window into these four characters' everyday lives and how they care for each other. Jamila Rowser and Robyn Smith originally kickstarted their critically acclaimed, award-winning slice of life mini comic, Wash Day, inspired by Rowser's own wash day ritual and their shared desire to see more comics featuring the daily lived experiences of young Black women. Wash Day Diaries includes an updated, full color version of this original comic—which follows Kim, a 26-year-old woman living in the Bronx—as the book's first chapter and expands into a graphic novel with short stories about these vibrant and relatable new characters.   Moderated by Nat Freeman, recorded live on our Crowdcast channel on Tuesday, July 12. _______________________________________________   Produced by Nat Freeman, Lance Morgan, & Michael Kowaleski. Theme: "I Love All My Friends," an unreleased demo by Fragile Gang. Visit https://www.skylightbooks.com/event for future offerings from the Skylight Books Events team.

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.

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.

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.

Villains are always fun to discuss. What makes a good one? The Potter villains are pretty diverse. So diverse we sometimes have to ask "Is X a villain?"

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. You may be off a few seconds, but that won't be a problem. (Editor's note: Shout out to our podcast intern, Kristen, who not only edited this LONG Sorcerer's Stone movie commentary episode, but wrote the show notes as well. Check her out on YouTube!) Listen as Katie (Elhoffer Design), Megan (The Nerdy Girlie), and Hadas rewatch the first of the Harry Potter films.    What did you think of Sorcerer's Stone? Check out Megan discussing Military Brat life and blogging on our International Women's Month episode (also featuring Jamilla of Geek Girl Brunch, Straight Outta Gotham, and more).

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.
