    Happy Labor Day in the US. My husband’s union just signed a new 3 year contract and its good! No hits to any benefits and they get a decent raise. After several one year contracts, its nice to have this space to not stress for a while.

    I will be glad for summer’s end. I would much rather bundle up than sweat profusely just walking 2 minutes outside. Plus I have my fleece leggings, I can’t wait to start wearing those again.

    Edit: I forgot to include my answer to my own question! I have historically been a hoodie gal but I think I may try and thrift some kind of form flattering sweater. Sadly the last one I tried triggered the old dysphoria 😭

    So my question is, for fall, are you a sweater gal or a hoodie gal (or both?) 😹

      Oh gosh yes! I’m right there with you on preferring being bundled up.

      Good luck on the sweater hunt! A good sweater is priceless, but they can be tricky to find the exact right fit. I like sweaters, but I only have a couple that I really love. Hoodies feel so much more practical to me.

      I think today is the perfect day to pull out the fall/winter clothes :3

      Was hoodie until I started growing my hair out.

      But yeah, this is absolutely the time of year I’m checking the forecast every day to see when fall arrives.

    Uh! I’m going someone can help me wrap my head around this - my instance went down the other day due to a bot attack. It’s back up, but I’m not seeing any new posts here in womensstuff and can tell I’m missing others from the all page.

    Is this normal? Do I wait for it to be corrected or should I switch instances?

      On PieFed, the last new post I see here is from 7 hours ago. The one about the hair straightener, but I am seeing new comments.

      Hope it gets figured out soon.

      Odd, I can’t post from my old Lemmy.world account but I can see the same stuff

        Can’t see the hair straightener post or the Funny Friday post with the cat picture :/ Thanks for letting me know what you can see!

        I like this instance, but I’ll switch in a heartbeat if womensstuff is locked out for me there!
