- I just discovered Riot Nrrd — an awesome webcomic about geeky teens where most of the main characters are female (and the cast also features characters who are trans, queer, people of color, etc…). Plus their links page includes the sections “Feminist/Womanist Nerd Stuff”, “Nerds of Color Stuff”, “Disabled Nerd Stuff”, and “Queer Nerd Stuff”.
- Another comic, this time a one-off by Lucy Knisely, about the experience of women in nerd culture.
- Joe Clark posts a misguided response to Stubornella’s post (linked earlier this week) about women in technology — Elaine Nelson posts a sensible reply.
- At Tiger Beatdown, Garland Grey posts about his experience of queer nerd identity.
- Mashable posts a list of developer/hacker women to follow on Twitter. The list itself is great; some of these women I’m familiar with, and some are new to me. But something about the way the list is framed (it opens with “Everyone should know at least one woman who can code her way out of a wet paper bag”) rubs me the wrong way. Thoughts?
