Welcome to The Bluestocking, the best (perhaps only) online women's pub. Nothing in the food or drink can harm you, everything is served by a very enthusiastic crew of gerbils, and any curious menfolk are welcome at the Staunch Ally down the road.

It’s my first eclipse. I’d heard about it getting dark, and quiet. I noticed, when looking through my neighbour’s glasses, there was scarcely any sun left to be seen, but I didn’t feel it getting even a little bit darker.

I suppose it’s so powerful that even a tiny sliver of sun is a lot of light.

Yes it's amazing that like 7 percent of the sun still poking through is so powerful.

Is anyone getting up for the Perseids tonight? I would love to but I'm not sure I'll make it.

Is there meant to be an ideal time for the Perseids? Despite its headline saying exactly when to look, the article I just read said between midnight and dawn, today and tomorrow.

Thank you so much. I'm sorry you have all been so worried about the gerbils, but we had to let them work it out for themselves.

Us? Worried? No! Well maybe a little bit! OK, more than a little bit.

I'm sure they'd really enjoy working for Fenella on a more let's have a day out and make pretty windows kind of arrangement. Whereas I think Fenella is more after indentured apprentices.

And I don't think the gerbils would have enjoyed rules that were not gerbil led and gerbil focused and hadn't been workshopped, written on a board, discussed further over 3 tea breaks and two main meals, discussed once more after they had slept on it, and then voted on.

Now I understand!

All the chaotic union meetings I went to when I was working were run by closet gerbils!

Although they definitely weren't cute and cuddly😁

I think they’d also rapidly become lonely without the other gerbils.

Fenella’s not going to be happy, though.

I had glasses for the eclipse and used them for some photos too.
