Yes, sorry, didn't mean to speak to you directly. I have trans family myself. I think of the trans community as one that will be profoundly damaged by another Trump. I do object to people who hold ideologies and decline to vote only on "principle," rather than voting first to protect the at-risk.

The net-suffering matters! It absolutely matters, if we are thinking of everyone else, writ large, not solely our policy-bound identities.
I thought he was a pig farmer, TBH
Wise decision.
When men are scared of us, they often get hostile as a way to cope. In corporate settings, when our peers are scared of us, they can get vicious.
I just wish it was a video!
I use the PM one, those nights when I don't want any serum-type action
Thread of reactions to Virginia;)
FWIW, a generous soul has actually donated $11,000 to these Georgia House & Senate Democrats in the past few days! @gasenatedems.com @georgiademocrat.bsky.social #UnlikelyHeroes

Yes. But I suspect you do too;)
Vanicream is pretty easy on the budget. I hope you find something good soon! Makes a difference, having skin products that feel good and treat you well.
Yes. The plain vanilla Vanicream.
I love the Neutrogena, Hydro Boost, but the one with SPF50. Talk about sinking in!
That's how I found Vanicream! Samples from the dermatologist. They make a great cleanser too.
In that case, have you tried Vanicream? I have gotten one cosmetic dermatology treatment in my life, micro needling, and that's what they suggested for me.
In my regular life I use Tatcha Indigo cream at night, Paula's Choice peptides and hyaluronic acid for day, and niacinamide because old.
SPF or no SPF?
Virginia came through. Go blue! We may much prefer peace and love but we can fight dirty for justice when we must.
Maybe we can help? What are you looking for in a face lotion?
YES!
I'm describing what has happened. I am describing where we are. That's what is important as we look at getting rid of this government, the one that's causing more death and destruction than any other government.
With that, please excuse me, done discussing with you.
I have.
Nobody has yet shown me that the impact for Palestinians in Israel is worth the divisive power and damage of the word here in America. But I am open to learning that it is.
Again, not disputing the facts, just the insistence on the term, here in the USA.
I appreciate your courtesy. With respect in return, I'll listen.
The history of the far left and center left arguing, the history of Jews in America alienated at first by that argument, the subsequent loss by a Black woman who would have been a good president to a white man under whose rule thousands more people have been killed since his election than before.
Sometimes not using a word just means you feel the word is overloaded with meaning. Carries baggage. Which this word, IMO, now does in the USA. Sadly. With great damage.
If people used several full sentences to describe her death that make it clear she was killed, and it was planned, and the punishment would be equal, I do not care if we use the word murder. Words are signifiers only, unless they have contractual or legal consequences.
As I said above, the court that's supposed to enforce the Genocide Convention won't do anything. So if people acknowledge the acts, and as a result sentiment has shifted, it starts to feel to me like the insistence on the term is more about group identity than a useful project.
I could be wrong.
Ah. Looks like I can't. I'll hunt around and see if it's summarized anywhere.
So I'll listen.
Why it's correct I understand. But why it's important, I still don't.
I do not see how the particular horror requires the term.
