My dad has had flu-like symptoms ending in a lingering cough that went away for about a week before coming back with a vengeance. He finally got diagnosed last week, parainfluenza RNA. Maybe look into that? Lot of people been sick with something flu-like lately.
He’s also not contagious and the doctor only gave him an asthma puffer because he was having trouble breathing recently but mostly he’s just been taking cough mixture to reduce the symptoms.

Transition earlier.
Try to get away from my abusive parents.
Do certain things to meet my best friends earlier and convince them.
Stand up for myself more.
Spend more time with my grandparents.

I’ve thought about it a lot

8:16 am, woke up not long ago and doing my morning routine of checking Lemmy.

Laziness doesn’t exist, it’s made up, there’s always an underlying cause

I read the Bible. I started asking questions about things in the Bible that didn’t match science, I loved science (still do), but nobody wanted to answer my questions, they’d just get mad, so I started seeking information elsewhere and came across atheist or ex-religious sources who answered the questions I had. Those sources also helped me realise the damage that had been done to me mentally, which I’m still working on overcoming.

She doesn’t mind. She meows in reply or comes running when he does it, and he doesn’t do it very often.

My partner named our cat Lana because he wanted to be able to scream “LAANAAA!” like Archer

When I was still being taken to church I won the door prize at youth group (church for teens) one night during a special event we were running (some thing to encourage people to invite their non-believing school friends and show how “hip” and “fun” they were, there were raffles and video games alongside our usual “live music”, skate ramps and bbq). The prize itself was a mobile phone. I was so happy because I didn’t already have one, but ultimately my parents decided I couldn’t have/use it until I got a job to pay for the credit. I did eventually get a job at KFC and was able to use the phone.

Another time I was visiting NZ with my parents and we were touring the base of a mountain and the guide was like “guess the height and whoever gets closest wins this pen”, I won but my mum made me give the pen back because she thought I’d cheated somehow? Idfk. Still a bit salty about the pen.

My 2yo cat likes to lay on the carpet and pull herself along instead of walk
