The Bluestocking is open for business

[PricklyBall]

I've scrolled back a few pages and I can't even find the last pub thread.

So I've taken the beer towels off the pumps, tapped a new barrel, polished the glasses, fed the goat and applied brasso to the patriarchy busting canon.

Come and join me - all tastes catered for - beer, gin, wine, cocktails, coffee and a nice cup of tea.

I never got Janet.

Kate was a TIM offering women-only orgasm workshops. As you do.

(I have no idea who Janet is either)

And the reference to Brian from Hull was that Brian was a man who came here years ago to offer "yoni massage" to mners (I think that thread might still be around somewhere...?)

oh, I remember Brian from Hull! I think I had just joined and I was a bit taken aback

He was actually advertising wasn't he - I mean his mobile number was on here etc? Am I remembering the right person?

Have downed a load of green juice to see if makes me feel perkier.

Yeah the yoni masseuse it was hilarious

The Kate thread was taken down because the police are investigating a hate crime, according to MNHQ. I wonder what happened...

Don't forget the (many) coffee breaks and the use of a bench

Oh yes, the itinerary...

Tea and biscuits at 10:15, body play at 10:30. not envy

Happy New Year when it gets here, wims!

Here's to smashing the patriarchy in 2018

I have no plans for Hogmanay. We're popping to the local for a token beer in a minute and then I'm staying in with the dogs and watching crap on telly. So rock n roll!

Happy new year wims! 🍾

We're going to a friends for a quiet Chinese and a few drinks. Lucky I don't have big plans as I'm feeling quite crap today (ear infection still bugging me)

Surely the bluestocking has a lock-in?!

I'm in! Pint of bitter please, mine hostess.

Can't stay long so no drink just wanted to say thank you all for keeping me amused/educated/outraged throughout this year.

Also if you don't follow her, here is a very nice summary of gender critical activity this year from Stephanie Davies Arai, Mumsnet gets a special mention.

That is a fantastically comprehensive blog, covering a lot of brave and courageous debate and activism. Thank you for the link, and to Stephanie Davies Arai for her work, and to everyone listed in the blog.

I am going to have some gin soon.

happy new year!

I might have to have a nap....

Happy new year!

I had a nap
I'm still sleepy

this is what comes of hosting

as a raging insomniac I'm not sure whether to go to bed right after dinner or what....though I'll probably end up perking up after dinner...sod's law yes?

Happy New year everyone. I am in back to work depression tonight

Happy New Year!

Quentin - I've been reading Stephanis' D A's summary on transgendertrend to get myself in an optimistic mood for 2018. It's just so relentlessly positive.

Am on the remains of the champagne from last night - and then it's a sober week ahead.

Happy New Year.

I've spent the day on here and on twitter and I'm fucking mad and fired up now.

Posted on another thread but peaktransed my family yesterday. Was fab.

Have been called a bigot countless times this afternoon on Twitter, but also picked up quite a few new followers who are clearly interested in the GC debate. A good day's work I think.

can't find the Toby Young thread

apparently he has deleted 50,000 tweets this morning. Misogynist wanker.
