I have been working at BR for like three weeks, and it's ruining my skin. I'm literally seventeen and my hands (especially my right hand which I scoop with) are so dry they're wrinkling. My hands look thirty years older than I am! I'm getting these weird patches of redness too, looks like a rash but not itchy or anything. I'm guess all this is a result of the cold store combined with the frequent handwashing, so I've been moisturizing religiously, but it doesn't seem to be working. If anyone else has had this problem, any tips or special products you use to keep it in check?

If you're quoting the same author more than once in a sentence, do you need to cite every time you quote them or just once at the end of a sentence?

EX:

Arcade’s experience, as well as many others, was a result of a collective mindset among “control freaks in the gay community”(Arcade, 2019) that queer people had to be “accepted by the white middle class” (Arcade, 2019) in order to achieve more rights and protections.

This is less of a WIBTA and more of a Would I Kill The Vibe but there isn't a subreddit for that. I got invited to Lesbian Poker Night by a friend; nothing wild, just a gaggle of gay girls playing texas hold'em, but the host has a pool so we're planning to swim as well. I haven't worn a revealing swimsuit in a very long time (I usually opt for board shorts and a sports bra), but this time I want to look cute and not like Adam Sandler. The problem is I have thick scars all over my upper thighs. They're all long healed and mostly white, but they are still very visible and it's pretty obvious what they're from. I don't know most of the girls going (I got invited by a mutual friend) so I'm worried I'll throw off the vibe if I wear a swimsuit that shows my scars. I don't think a lot of it when I see someone else's SH scars, but that's because I've been desensitized to it so I don't think I can trust my own perspective of the situation. If you were at a pool party and could see someone's SH scars, would you feel uncomfortable or upset? I want honest answers, I don't need a self-esteem boost. I am already comfortable with my own body and my scars, I just don't want to make other people uncomfortable.

When using an en dash to turn two nouns and a verb into an adjective, do you put an the dash between every word (heathcare-provider-approved) or just the last noun and the verb (heathcare provider-approved)? Been doing it intuitively for years but now I'm writing for a scholarship and I really want to cover all my bases.
