Assuming that this would cover all past legal names as well (as I have had a grand total of four, different first and last names): still not a lot.

I have changed a lot since I first started posting things on the web, and I am embarrassed about some of the older stuff that I said before I learned more about certain subjects. But (as far as I can remember), the worst comments I ever made were ones in defence of outlawing abortion, and even those I never posted hate in.

So, given that those few comments are vastly outnumbered by my more recent comments explaining why my previous stance was nonsensical, I would probably have to be more afraid of someone threatening me for being a trans person who advocates for bodily autonomy as a basic and inalienable human right.

E.l.f. brand is inexpensive but good quality and consistent, and is available at most Walmart locations as well as most retail pharmacies. I use them a lot because they have colors that work for me and they are very good on sensitive skin and hair. You would be looking for either a brow mascara or a brow lift pencil, and you can check color varieties on their website.

Unfortunately I can't guarantee what colors will be at any particular store, since they tend to order what is popular, but you could also order from the company directly for the same price as in store.

Oh I will be having that conversation in a few days. I am taking a lesson from my therapist and letting myself rest from the hurt and decide what kind of resolution I want. I have a history of crumbling when I get pushback for standing up for myself, so giving myself time to sit with the feeling for a couple of days helps my brain realize that what she did was actually bad, and not just me overreacting.

Everything I see talks about how that was directly tied to emergency spending that needed to be signed off on by Congress, and how Biden expanded it while it was in effect and is actively trying to get it renewed, with sources much more recent and detailed that that one.

For example:

But sure, it was Biden who single handedly stole that money from families, even when Congress makes the budget.

Oh, for sure. But the number of people who seem to think that those differences are inherent is far too many. Which is why we get a lot of questions like the ones from OP, which only perpetuate the problem.

If we stop assuming people "just won't get it" because of who they are, then we are better able to sympathize and work together to solve problems.

Threats and lies that endanger the wellbeing of others isn't 'free speech', and a group advocating for better regulations to prevent that danger isn't censorship. If you can't prove your point without lying or threatening other people, find a better point to make, or at the very least leave the rest of us alone.

For anyone confused about why leftists are upset about this: we don't care that she used to be a sex worker. Sex work is work, it shouldn't be illegal, and it shouldn't be something that prevents you from being eligible to run for office.

We DO care that she is a hypocrite who is trying to put on a false front of 'traditional morality' to get votes, even when that means that other people who do sex work will be directly harmed by the policies she campaigns for. The lying, hypocrisy, and active harm to others for her own benefit are the problem, not something she did in the past, that harmed no one, when she needed to pay her bills.

Maybe, but I do not plan in jars, and being a kitchen witch and making a fire hazard are not compatible.

For me, it is a tie between two situations. First was worse pain, but for less time, second was slightly less pain but lasted more than a full day and was therefore a much worse experience.

The first was a very bad bout of PMDD that felt like someone running razor wire through the organs in my lower abdomen. I ended up curled on the bathroom floor, unable to move and vomiting from the pain.

The second was when I had an allergic reaction to a medication that felt as though I had bruised every bone in my body to the point that sitting, standing, or lying down caused severe pain from the pressure on my skin. I begged my husband to take me to an urgent care, even though the pandemic was in full swing, because I couldn't stand the pain anymore, even with an abnormally high pain tolerance.
