    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!

    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.
