Transgender Swimwear: These styles could be out of style in as little as a couple of months but hopefully the designers creating them will be around much longer. Some links to gender-affirming design houses including TomboyX, Chromat, Rebirth Garments, BaronHong, Origami Customs, Gender Bender, Humankind and Beefcake Swimwear,

Child Gender Dysphoria Test: This links to a test parents can use if they suspect their child may have gender dysphoria. A personal note here, this test appears to be created with older children in mind, in one question it references puberty. Prior to puberty this test would certainly have assured my parents they had a perfectly cis-gendered child in me. No test is perfect and this is just one tool to help parents, it is not a definitive answer.

Adult Gender Dysphoria Test: This page has links to provide a lot of basic information regarding gender dysphoria including a 3 minute test to determine if you show signs of having gender dysphoria symptoms. The test is on the page this link connects with. As noted in the link above, no test is perfect and this is just one tool to help determine potential symptoms of gender dysphoria, it is not a definitive answer.

Still Using Laundry Pods? Stop! I don't like machines making decisions for me and laundry is no exception. I know how big my load is so I like to choose water levels and such myself. I purchase machines that let me control the wash and dry parameters. I prefer to line dry my wash so I choose dryers which allow me to set the time I require should I need to finish the drying inside during bad weather. I also like to leave my drying slightly damp so I can hang them and reduce wrinkles. I seldom need to iron, saving more time and electricity. I keep a coffee measuring scoop to add detergent to my washing machine. I use 1-3 scoops for a load of laundry depending upon how soiled the clothes are. Click the link for more laundry tips.

Nir and Far: Why People Check Their Tech at the Wrong Times (and the Simple Trick to Stop It) Kill the habit of tech distracting at the wrong times. We have all gone to visit, gone to a restaurant or to a movie with someone who does not turn their phone off. This sends the very clear message that the device or people they are not spending time with is more important to them than the person who chose to spend time with them. Can you change their rude behaviour?
