  • In addition to what people have advised so far, I can’t stress enough how important rest, and especially sleep is when you’re ill. Whenever I’ve fallen ill with a cold, flu, cough, etc., I find that if I try to fight it and go about the day as normal, the illness lasts much longer. If I try to sleep it off, I get better a lot faster. If you can, and especially on the first day, don’t go to work, don’t run errands, and especially don’t go to the gym/exercise. Good luck!

    I agree mostly, but that adds to the cost and it means taking time out of your day to go get the truck, go get the furniture, drop furniture off at your place, then take the truck back. It’s an added inconvenience most people don’t want to deal with.

    America is huge and you might have to drive very far to get that second hand item. Also not everyone has a pickup truck to go get bulky heavy furniture you can’t take apart to easily transport to your place. And bedbugs are an issue in some places, especially major cities. It’s possible for some but not everyone.


  • That’s a really heavy burden to place on a child. Sure when they’re really young you’ll be the centre of their universe. A superhero that can do no wrong. But eventually they will grow up, and become their own people. That process often involves outright rejecting you and being really hurtful. If you have a fragile sense of self I’m not sure raising teenagers will make you feel any better, they can be godamn mean.

    Also your kids should NEVER be responsible for your mental health and self esteem. It’s incredibly unhealthy and you will likely end up raising broken adults because of it. Honestly, save yourself and your potential future chlldren the trauma and heartache and do the work it takes to deal with your issues. It will be hard, but believe me it’s a piece of cake compared to the pain you’d be setting yourself up for later.



  • In addition to all of the above I recommend The Dragon Prince on Netflix, there’s a few LGBT characters on there, a couple if which play very prominent roles in later seasons. Season 4 drops off in quality a bit but it picks back up in season 5.

    Star Trek Lower Decks has a bit of representation too, and you don’t need to like Star Trek to enjoy it.

    The last episode of Ghost and Molly McGee nods to one of the big supporting characters being lesbian or bi.

    Craig of the Creek is for younger audiences but has a bunch of lgbtq characters, including a lesbian kiss scene! It’s very good at all sorts of representation.

    One of the main characters in The Great North is gay and out. It’s a fairly chill comfort show I’d say but different from the ones above.

    The main protagonist of Dragon Age: Absolution is a lesbian but that’s not specifically a central part of the story.

    There’s a bit of representation in Vox Machina, but be warned it’s quite violent and bloody at times. Same for Castlevania but my god that was an amazing show. There’s even a MMF sex scene, but I won’t give away much more on that.

    Those are some that come to mind for now but I’m certain there’s more. Enjoy!

    Edit: I just noticed you didn’t list Adventure Time. If you liked all of the cartoons you listed you -must- watch Adventure Time! There’s a wee bit of lgbt rep in there too.
