Glasses. Dry eye made contacts awful no matter what the water content was
That’s hilarious. They aren’t even phased
Why would you put a cotton bud in?!
Blowing into it now… yeah I’ve done that 😂😂
Oh this is absolutely gorgeous. Kudos to you!
Do you have a chiari malformation? This can be one of my triggers for head pain
OMG no that isn’t mildly irritating that’s insanely annoying….
I don’t think Reddit is imploding overnight but there seems to be an element of death by a thousand cuts happening. I’ve left and burned out three old usernames and over ten years worth of posts/comments. I’ll still use it to find answers to things but increasingly over the last month the threads are peppered with deleted comments and gaps
Sweet Jesus… that’s gold
Tons of games with very little reading involved and people who do video content eg TikTok or YouTube rather than reading posts
Income disparity, communities where education isn’t supported, underfunded education, book burnings, tv/internet/gaming they've all had an impact. Add covid to the mix and burnt out parents and it’s all coming to a head
I’m trying to join if I can figure out how to. I’m on vlemmy with wefwef 😂. I’m happy to try and be active to get us going
Agreed. I found an asthma one so I’m trying to be active there every day. I need to find endometriosis, bunions, gastric surgery 😂. I’m a total crock health wise and these chats help
Me too. And in nuking ten years of reddit history I realised I had stopped posting over the years as it got so big it just wasn't needed
Whats your current regime?
Currently on Relvar for maintenance. Have symbicort for rescue but no need for it. It is hayfever season here though so on dymista and zyzal as required for that because it triggers the asthma! Also wear a facemask to mow the lawn and wash my face/hands/change clothes straight afterwards
Finding Communities
I’m new to Lemmy and getting to grips with it all. I’ve found a community [email protected] using the aggregator lists in the starting guide. However if I use wefwef app or vlemmy in browser the search isn’t seeing this community so I can’t join. Am I doing something wrong?
Autism Parenting
Some days you worry about whether you are doing the right thing as a parent. You second guess yourself all the time. My son went to a gaelscoil (school through Irish, it’s not our main language at home). I have second guessed myself about choosing that route, about the age he started etc. As the diagnoses (Autism/ADHD) first rolled in at age 7 when the anxiety hit the roof I questioned and debated again whether I made the right calls. The following year the dyslexia diagnosis came in and I properly panicked to have him in a dual language school. But ultimately their support is great. And we couldn’t get him in anywhere else local. And we worried about moving him from his friends as making them is very hard for him
Two years ago we could not discuss emotions with him. He’s been in play therapy and psychology and has settled completely into himself. But still will not discuss emotions or feelings with us or others. He’s always ‘bad’ or ‘doesn’t know’.
Other days however you can take
