What should you wear to work if you’re nonbinary?
It may not be the most pressing question that gender-nonconforming people face on the job, but with approximately 1.2 million LGBTQ+ Americans identifying as nonbinary, employers and employees alike are exploring what professional attire can look like.
“I think people treat me with more dignity when I dress more masculinely, but people are way nicer to me when I dress more femininely,” said El Layla Johnson, 33, a former restaurant server who is now a therapist.

My shower felt really good. I recommend it! It helped with the dizziness for now, but it’s been several days since the onset of the vertigo, and I guess it’s because my muscles were tight, probably from stress. I let the spray run on my neck for several minutes, so that was good.
Another gorgeous morning, but the afternoon will begin to cloud up and we’ll have rain and gloom for the next five or six days. Typical.

Sorry about your soggy weather. It seems folks all over the country are being paid back for the Global Warming tax. They need to try and tax the Weather Maker. *evil thought* (I can see a ZOT! in their future, if they do!)

It’s sunny here, but a little cold.
The full Envirothon results are in: Vlad’s team was 12th (high school), and Kathleen’s team was 11th (middle school). Everyone was weak in Forestry. Sigh.

We will go deep in the woods and not come back until they can identify all the local species of pines.
