I think about this question a lot tbh. I hope it would be positive! My concern is more that the structure of our precarious employment is so punishing already it seems wild for us to take a potential additional hit to our prospects on the chance it ‘inspires’ or comforts students. Which makes me sad

Don’t faint from shock but saw an actually good psychiatrist…?? Truly wild that I am typing such a sentence but needs must

Me neither :(

To clarify: not the good kind of condition! The bad kind that requires multiple invasive medical procedures. It’s not the end of the world but it is a little distressing.

Just discovered I have a 1:100,000 condition. My lovely wife described me as a shiny charizard which lightened the mood tbh

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

Two tweets by Keir Starmer, one saying: Real patriotism means building a country where everyone feels safe, valued and respected. We choose hope over fear, and renewal over decline. The other saying: I’m focused on real, workable solutions to tackle illegal immigration. Not gimmicks. Returning people with no right to be here, seizing hundreds of boats and working with international partners to smash the gangs. That's how we are securing our borders.

Five hours apart

Slamming Tylenol like tic tacs so my children will be gods

Had surgery today (I’m fine (ish (hopefully)) and back home) and it turns out I’m very bad at resting on command :(

In fairness to the police, frail pensioners with disabilities are far easier to arrest

Shot, chaser

Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

And right back to you too mate 💜

TUC calls for new legal protections for trans people following Supreme Court ruling The motion passed unanimously

Proud to have closed this debate and for our union @nhbcsa.bsky.social to have been part of the composite motion to LGBT+ Conference.

Thank you #tuc25 for standing up for trans people.

Which is itself probably a sign of how irritable I am. Yes, I am clinically pissed off

Everyone keeps praising me for how well I’m doing in maintaining insight and trying to reduce risk and mitigate any potential catastrophes, but it just mostly feels embarrassing and sad. Gold star for me even though I don’t really want it

Bath, brew, benzo on repeat isn’t really working, but my hilarious therapist did rate all the local hospitals in terms of their emergency departments’ mental health provision so at least I know where -not- to go if things escalate

From BBC news website: I 'completely get' concern over asylum hotels - Starmer Starmer is asked how he would feel if a hotel housing asylum seekers was at the end of his street. "I completely get it," Starmer says, adding: "Local people by and large do not want these hotels in their towns, in their place, and nor do I. I'm completely at one with them on that." Starmer says he understands why people want the hotels closed and he wants that too "as quickly as possible". Asked to put a date on it, Starmer reiterates his commitment to do so by the end of this Parliament. When it's put to him that is four years away, he says he would like to bring that date forward, but does not commit to another date.

Oh nothing, just the actual Prime Minister telling people they’re entirely correct to drive asylum seekers out of their communities

Yeah you are absolutely right (and not talking out your arse at all) it just doesn’t feel great rn. Thank you <3

Sorry to be messy on main but in the absence of alts here we are I guess.
In all seriousness how long should i give it before I lean in and go do all the things I am currently feeling intense pressure to do? Lying here in the dark isn’t working for me

Posting like it’s 2013

I don’t even feel elated I just feel wired & I would _very_ much like to just see where this goes but alas I have to teach 35 students at 9am on Monday morning so a nice little bout of hypomania would actually be bad. Bipolar kind of sucks, you know? It never happens at the right time :’(

It’s past 2:30am on a Sunday morning and the benzos aren’t working

Just started rewatching children of men and…yeah

Perhaps you can help me start my podcast! I am looking to talk to transmasculine people who perform with their voices - actors, singers, voiceover artists, performance poets, comedians, drag acts, streamers, all of it - and who started testosterone partway through their career.

Friends! I am making a podcast (or trying to)! I think we need more information about there about what happens to your voice on T, so, now that I am a mediocre white man in his 30s...

...I am starting a podcast.

Every now and then I feel really sad that it’s so hard to capture and communicate the nuances of history to my classes and then I remember they’re doing shit like this in other classrooms
