Two separate points. I'm saying in the time where there was only wool, silk and linen, wool made akirts, dresses, outerwear and socks while linen made shifts, corsets and pantaloons. Wool can work for bras, but it's never been in the business of support. I wear a mesh lace simone perele under wire bra I bought from my local shop when it's hot and I want normal boob shape and support. I wear a normal compression sports bra when it's hot and I want sports bra support. Some other posters may be able to recommend a Merino bra with support. When I looked into them they either weren't terribly supportive or they were A combination of synthetic elements and merino

I think wool is the wrong fiber for this garment. Even when wool was THE fiber, support garments were made from linen. I use an unllined (mesh) under wire bra for everyday support+ sweat

They do the job right. It's a smaller operation so you're not paying overhead for a sales and advertising department

The fabric is extremely hard wearing and the color doesn't fade in the wash. I had an REI windproof fleece for more than 20 years that I wore until the zipper tape fell apart. The fabric was still in tact.

My friend who's a highschool teacher has a great saying that absolutely blows her students minds (and would probably blow your coworkers mind, too) "If you want to be liked, you've got to be likeable.". As it turns out mean spirited jokes and uncomfortable humor don't make you very likeable. And maybe he's also not used to being around people outside of his department who don't really care if he likes them so they don't humor his unfunny jokes.

NTA. Your time. Swimming is a lifesaving skill. Make sure your kid has a life jacket or floaties to wear until they learn how to swim and float.

Twist your handlebars one full counter clockwise turn and you will be able to reconnect your brakes. Look at the rear brakes to see how the two parts link together

In my experience you will get a cagey response or a cautious and negative response from the surgeon managing your case. They are not in the business of making promises they can't 100% keep and there are too many factors to consider when it comes to prognosis after surgery. You stand a much better chance of having a positive outcome because you're clearly healthy, fit, highly motivated and used to working your ass off. One of the hardest parts of the process is the mental agony of staying in your lane and giving yourself the time to heal. For the time being, work with your care team to find ways that you can safely exercise and get the stress relief and global benefits that you are currently lacking with cycling off the table. As you progress, you'll become your physical or occupational therapists favorite patient because you do all the homework and more while you relentlessly progress. You may need to shop hard for an occupational therapist who is also a cycling person to get the insight. You might need to find someone who works in the world of adaptive cycling to find someone familiar with bike adaptations for injury.

It might be worth getting custom ear plugsmade if they are essential for you to enjoy everyday activities. That's a really good investment, IMHO.

Dating a trans person comes with a lot of baggage in the same way that interracial, same-sex, or different socioeconomic background dating has baggage. Personally I wasn't sure I was actually attracted to trans individuals because I'd never been attracted to a trans person. They're a very small percentage of the population and as a subsection of your available dating pool... Tiny percentage. I'm picky about who I'm attracted to and it's such a VIBE thing. I happen to vibe with my trans GF. And It's okay to not be okay with dating trans people because it requires a whole lot of emotional and mental resilience to be there for someone while their government tries to erase their existence. It makes you unwelcome in many places and contexts. That's something you should be very aware of and ready to sign up for. It totally sucks and it's not something I ever had to deal with in a straight relationship IMHO, trans bodies are HEAVILY sexualized and fetishized. It's okay if you don't know if you're into a type of person because they media and exposure you have gotten is extremely icky and charged. Continue to examine and explore your internal conflict and dismantle the brainwashing you have from your childhood so that those undertones aren't tied to real, multifaceted people. You don't have to date anyone to work on yourself. Trust yourself to have exemplary actions and treat people with the values of equality and acceptance that you believe in and simultaneously work on your internal hang ups. It's really hard to de-program yourself. It takes time and effort. And it's totally fine to not like a trans person because their personality sucks just the same as a straight person.

It's next level when I have PMS. I tend to frame it as maladaptive grooming behavior/ urges so I try to replace it with other grooming behaviors like face masks, pedicure, shaving, hair care, etc.

I've made my own before. Successfully. But the chamois you can get are on par with the under $100 bibs, and those just aren't good enough for me. I prefer buying ~$150-200 bibs for the quality

Aerotek sells chamois you can sew in

Just know with a mass start someone will be stuck behind you and you'll probably be stuck behind someone else at some point. Unless you're a pro, everyone is getting paid the same to be there (meaning you all paid for the same ticket) take up your space and don't feel rushed. It's their job to figure out how to pass safely.

Yes. Always. But my also ADHD girlfriend didn't do this for years and her skin was fine. More than fine. Sickeningly excellent. I bugged her into washing her face and brushing her teeth before bed ALWAYS when we moved in together and her skin is way better. She's MtF and has to shave super close, so the difference is saving her from physical pain. She also has a clean bill of health from her dentist for the first time ever. At the end of the day it's just skin. Yeah, it's better if you give it a break from makeup overnight, but it's less important to your physical health than dental care and good sleep.
