As a fellow northern hemisphere inhabitant, one living in an area where we get proper winters with abundant snow and 4' frost lines and all that, for me it is October 100%. In October we get brightly colored leaves delightfully crisp sweater weather. It's the time for hot cocoa, couch blankets, and lighting the fire at night. May is still muddy and brings on swarms of black flies as well as the dreaded start of tourist season!
I confess I enjoy October too, but I so enjoy being outdoors in the sun that the cozy weather isn’t my first choice. Ofc the local weather patterns I’m sure makes a huge difference 🙂↕️ we don’t get black flies (sounds horrible omg) and we have tourists year round so here in the summer it’s flowers and sun and stuff :)
This is a general interest discussion community for women. Women can discuss most topics here. Rants, raves, interesting links, career advice, relationship advice, hobbies, interests, chit chat, pet pics, as long as you're a woman and it's not disallowed below it's all free to go here.
Our goal is to provide a friendly and supportive space for the women of Ovarit. This circle is not a "safe space," but it is and will always be a female-only space. This means if you are not female, you will be banned.
This circle is not for general politics or election topics - arguments about politics do not fit within this circle’s mission. This is not a debate circle.
Before posting, please check the list below of other women-only circles to make sure there isn't a community that is dedicated to the topic. Also, please use the feminist circles for feminist topics, such as /o/WomensLiberation and /o/GenderCritical. Posts about male violence belong in /o/NameTheProblem. This circle is not for news about violence.
If you post about trans topics in o/Women your post may be locked and / or deleted. We cannot move posts around.
This is a friendly and supportive community for general topics which are not contentious. Posts which start arguments, or which devolve into arguments in the comments, are extremely likely to be removed. This is a friendly and supportive general chat community, not a debate or argument board.
Examples of topics which belong here:
Rants, raves, advice seeking, or discussions about your relationships, jobs, family, pets, hobbies, travels, etc.
Links to random media like music, or funny, silly, or uplifting things like alpaca videos.
Links to various news or articles which don’t fit in other circles and are not about violence, male depravity, the oppression of women, and contentious topics including politics which either belong in other circles or do not lend themselves to friendly, supportive discussion in an ideologically diverse community.
If you are having a mental health or medical emergency, we unfortunately cannot help you. Please call a crisis helpline or use another qualified service.
Advertisements for Discord chat rooms or other private groups are only allowed to be posted by users who are level 7 or above and have been on the site for more than six months. Never give anyone sensitive information that could be used to de-anonymize you without first vetting them yourself. Be careful!
Some other circles on Ovarit are also women-only and are focused on specific topics:
/o/WomensHealthLounge: a women-only community to talk about all health topics, including mental health
/o/Fitness: a women-only community to talk about personal fitness
I feel like the hemisphere variable makes the best-month poll just a little faulty, but I don’t know how it would be addressed 🤔
May all the way as a northern hemisphere inhabitant! That’s when the rain ends and we start having warm weather without it being too hot

May for me because it's the last month of autumn, whereas October is mid-spring, likely to get muggy, and all too close to summer.
