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.

For Johnson, getting dressed for work has been a struggle since adolescence.

“I just feel like there’s a manual or rule book that people receive and that my copy got lost in the mail,” Johnson said.

Johnson recalled regularly crying while getting dressed for work at an upscale restaurant in Seattle. It wasn’t just that they found the restaurant’s dress code to be ugly. Johnson had a hard time finding clothes that fit at all.

If only I were allowed to be dead wrong as often as those guys are.

Easy-peasy.

Getting paid for it, not so much...

Easy-peasy.

Nope. I have a wife and kids. Every mistake brings the thunder.

My zucchini seeds are all germinated, and even some of the loser carrots are coming up.

I’d kind of like to plant some eggplant, but we have storms forecast next week, and I’m not sure how they would do.

We probably lost all the grass and clover seed we just scattered a few days before.

And our trees had just started to bud.

[Tax-chick]

Gah.

[ArGee]

Around here the flora seems to know that there’s a fake spring before the real thing.

W00t!

[Monkey Face]

I imagine lots of gardens are being difficult to plant this year. Ma Nature is psychotic.

[Tax-chick]

Does what she wants, definitely.

[Monkey Face]

Well, I hope you’re able to plant what you want and that it will produce. No pun intended.

I think I’m done for the day.

Balthazar was pretty good and quite funny for two episodes, and then it got deadly serious. No pun intended there, either. So serious that I had to shut it off in order to catch my breath.

So I’ll take my last pills and head for the catacombs. See ya tomorrow. Or maybe later tonight. ;o]

Good morning. Happy Friday Eve!

Happy Star Wars day. May the 4th be with you.

The rain has finally let up (again). We didn’t have to walk in it this morning but it was pretty steady all day yesterday.

If I used Wordle as an omen I’d probably get back in bed today. But at least it’s not an X.

Good Midweek Morning!

Happy Star Wars Day, to you as well!

Wordle was a toughie today... very much a “Wordle word!” Eliminate a bunch of letters, and then apply the “Wordle word” rules... and you end up with...

Happy Friday Eve, Wordle Gamers!

Today’s puzzle was headed for a record.

Not to mention that for some reason, my Favorites list had moved some fifteen URLs about halfway down the list. No clue how that happened, but I had to search for the grid.

So. This is me, off to get dressed before the groceries come.

[zzeeman]

Yes, been a bit tough for the veggies to get started... just not enough SUN ☀️ for them... most of the herbs are off to a good start though...

[zzeeman]

Oh, I seemed to have lost a day here... thought that it was still Wednesday....

[ArGee]

Goodness, I hope not!

Phew!
