10 comfy T-shirt dresses to throw on now that pants are cancelled - Well+Good Posted: 13 May 2020 12:00 AM PDT These days—much like eating out at restaurants and getting your eyebrows done—buttoning a pair of pants feels like a distant memory. Honestly, if I came across a zipper right now, I'm not 100 percent sure I'd still know what to do with it. Quarantine has put us all into committed relationships with our leggings. ATP, it seems highly unlikely that we'll ever go back to our #hardpants lifestyle of the past. But as temperatures climb (and there's still no real end in sight as to when we'll have to officially going back to work), we've decided we're swapping out our stretchy pants for something a bit breezier: the T-shirt dress. Not only are T-shirt dresses just as comfortable as leggings, but they make getting dressed in the morning even easier than tossing on a pair of sweats and a tank top, because your entire outfit only requires a single article of clothing (bra, obviously, optional). A T-shirt dress will make you look more put together than your usual workout gear—especially if you dress it up with some statement jewelry or add some oomph by way of a bold red lip—but is still casual enough that you won't feel ridiculous rocking it around the house. Scroll through for ten of our favorite T-shirt dresses for women, all of which you'll want to keep wearing long after quarantine is over. 10 T-shirt dresses for women Photo: Everlane Not only meant for the weekend, this is the perfect dress for posting up and taking Zoom meetings from your fire escape (or at the very least showing off on your daily sanity walk around the block).

J.K. Rowling Tweets Seen as Anti-Transgender Prompt Backlash - The New York Times Posted: 07 Jun 2020 10:06 AM PDT J.K. Rowling, the creator of the popular "Harry Potter" series, came under fire from L.G.B.T.Q. groups after she took aim at an article that referred to "people who menstruate." The online op-ed article posted last month, with the title "Creating a More Equal Post-Covid-19 World for People Who Menstruate," highlighted some of the risks faced by primary caretakers, "particularly women in the household and health care workers," during the coronavirus pandemic. The article explored how women still need "menstrual materials, safe access to toilets, soap, water and private spaces" during lockdown conditions. "An estimated 1.8 billion girls, women and gender nonbinary persons menstruate, and this has not stopped because of the pandemic," wrote the authors of the article, which was published on the media platform Devex.com. On Saturday, Ms. Rowling wrote on Twitter, where she has 14.5 million followers: "'People who menstruate.' I'm sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?" Her Twitter post appeared to be responding to a line that described the "menstrual health and hygiene needs of girls, women and all people who menstruate." The backlash was swift, with users calling out her comments as being anti-transgender people. One user wrote on Twitter: "I decided not to kill myself because I wanted to know how Harry's story ended. For a long time, that was all that kept me alive. Until I met my husband who helped me learn to love myself and to want to live. You just insulted him to my face." Glaad, an L.G.B.T.Q. advocacy organization, condemned Ms. Rowling's comments. "Looking for some summer reading?" the group wrote on Twitter. "'Percy Jackson' author Rick Riordan isn't transphobic." Ms. Rowling responded with messages relating to sex and to her support for transgender people. "If sex isn't real, there's no same-sex attraction," she wrote on Twitter. "If sex isn't real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn't hate to speak the truth." She added, "I respect every trans person's right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them." She summed up the thread with: "I'd march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it's hateful to say so." Mark Hutchinson, a representative for the author's public relations team, declined to comment further on Sunday. This is not the first time that Ms. Rowling has been criticized by L.G.B.T.Q. groups. In December, she defended a British researcher, Maya Forstater, who lost her job last year at a think tank in London after posting messages on Twitter saying that transgender women cannot change their biological sex. "Dress however you please," Ms. Rowling wrote on Twitter at the time. "Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who'll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill." Frequently Asked Questions and Advice Updated June 5, 2020 How many people have lost their jobs due to coronavirus in the U.S.? The unemployment rate fell to 13.3 percent in May, the Labor Department said on June 5, an unexpected improvement in the nation's job market as hiring rebounded faster than economists expected. Economists had forecast the unemployment rate to increase to as much as 20 percent, after it hit 14.7 percent in April, which was the highest since the government began keeping official statistics after World War II. But the unemployment rate dipped instead, with employers adding 2.5 million jobs, after more than 20 million jobs were lost in April. Will protests set off a second viral wave of coronavirus? Mass protests against police brutality that have brought thousands of people onto the streets in cities across America are raising the specter of new coronavirus outbreaks, prompting political leaders, physicians and public health experts to warn that the crowds could cause a surge in cases. While many political leaders affirmed the right of protesters to express themselves, they urged the demonstrators to wear face masks and maintain social distancing, both to protect themselves and to prevent further community spread of the virus. Some infectious disease experts were reassured by the fact that the protests were held outdoors, saying the open air settings could mitigate the risk of transmission. How do we start exercising again without hurting ourselves after months of lockdown? Exercise researchers and physicians have some blunt advice for those of us aiming to return to regular exercise now: Start slowly and then rev up your workouts, also slowly. American adults tended to be about 12 percent less active after the stay-at-home mandates began in March than they were in January. But there are steps you can take to ease your way back into regular exercise safely. First, "start at no more than 50 percent of the exercise you were doing before Covid," says Dr. Monica Rho, the chief of musculoskeletal medicine at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago. Thread in some preparatory squats, too, she advises. "When you haven't been exercising, you lose muscle mass." Expect some muscle twinges after these preliminary, post-lockdown sessions, especially a day or two later. But sudden or increasing pain during exercise is a clarion call to stop and return home. My state is reopening. Is it safe to go out? States are reopening bit by bit. This means that more public spaces are available for use and more and more businesses are being allowed to open again. The federal government is largely leaving the decision up to states, and some state leaders are leaving the decision up to local authorities. Even if you aren't being told to stay at home, it's still a good idea to limit trips outside and your interaction with other people. What's the risk of catching coronavirus from a surface? Touching contaminated objects and then infecting ourselves with the germs is not typically how the virus spreads. But it can happen. A number of studies of flu, rhinovirus, coronavirus and other microbes have shown that respiratory illnesses, including the new coronavirus, can spread by touching contaminated surfaces, particularly in places like day care centers, offices and hospitals. But a long chain of events has to happen for the disease to spread that way. The best way to protect yourself from coronavirus — whether it's surface transmission or close human contact — is still social distancing, washing your hands, not touching your face and wearing masks. What are the symptoms of coronavirus? Common symptoms include fever, a dry cough, fatigue and difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. Some of these symptoms overlap with those of the flu, making detection difficult, but runny noses and stuffy sinuses are less common. The C.D.C. has also added chills, muscle pain, sore throat, headache and a new loss of the sense of taste or smell as symptoms to look out for. Most people fall ill five to seven days after exposure, but symptoms may appear in as few as two days or as many as 14 days. How can I protect myself while flying? If air travel is unavoidable, there are some steps you can take to protect yourself. Most important: Wash your hands often, and stop touching your face. If possible, choose a window seat. A study from Emory University found that during flu season, the safest place to sit on a plane is by a window, as people sitting in window seats had less contact with potentially sick people. Disinfect hard surfaces. When you get to your seat and your hands are clean, use disinfecting wipes to clean the hard surfaces at your seat like the head and arm rest, the seatbelt buckle, the remote, screen, seat back pocket and the tray table. If the seat is hard and nonporous or leather or pleather, you can wipe that down, too. (Using wipes on upholstered seats could lead to a wet seat and spreading of germs rather than killing them.) Should I wear a mask? The C.D.C. has recommended that all Americans wear cloth masks if they go out in public. This is a shift in federal guidance reflecting new concerns that the coronavirus is being spread by infected people who have no symptoms. Until now, the C.D.C., like the W.H.O., has advised that ordinary people don't need to wear masks unless they are sick and coughing. Part of the reason was to preserve medical-grade masks for health care workers who desperately need them at a time when they are in continuously short supply. Masks don't replace hand washing and social distancing. What should I do if I feel sick? If you've been exposed to the coronavirus or think you have, and have a fever or symptoms like a cough or difficulty breathing, call a doctor. They should give you advice on whether you should be tested, how to get tested, and how to seek medical treatment without potentially infecting or exposing others. Even before the December post on Twitter, there had already been suspicions among some L.G.B.T.Q. supporters that Ms. Rowling held negative views of transgender people. In 2018, she liked a Twitter post that referred to transgender women as "men in dresses." The Human Rights Campaign, an influential L.G.B.T.Q. advocacy organization in the United States, responded to Ms. Rowling by retweeting on Saturday a message that the organization posted in December. "Evergreen tweet," the organization said. "Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Nonbinary people are nonbinary. CC: JK Rowling." Johnny Diaz contributed reporting.
