The Thursday Women’s+ Thread Buttons Up

Welcome! This is a space for all those who identify as female, as well as those who identify as non-binary or trans-men who have relevant experience or needs, to come and share, interact, help, and celebrate ourselves. If you identify as cis-male, we ask that you please set your participation to “lurk” mode, unless explicitly invited to participate further.  This includes upvotes. We ask cis-men to keep their upvotes to commenters who voluntarily add a “+up” to their comments, and only those comments.

Optional Prompt: Preparing for Winter. Soon it will be cold and potentially snowy. Do you like the cold? Is it a happy excuse for new clothes, or a thing that must be avoided at all costs? Have any tips for avoiding seasonal affective disorder or struggles with it? Favorite warm drinks for winter?
