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

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.

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

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.

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

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

It is important that MPs hear directly from the people whose lives will be affected. We encourage you to use this template letter to write to your own MP, highlighting your concerns and asking them to push for proper scrutiny of the Code. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

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

Me at 11 watching the X-Men movies: Xavier is doing his best in a difficult world! Me now: Magneto should be allowed to hunt every senator that supported the mutant registration act for sport

The person running the fundraiser for Saleh is Italian but this is the translation of their campaign

IG post saying “tell me your most controversial mental health opinions”. Would have been catnip a couple of years ago, now I read the comments, sigh and move on. Growth or apathy or jadedness, who’s to saaay

I like to remind people that Enoch Powell got fired by his Tory PM Ted Heath in 1968 and never had a cabinet position again, and the Times called it an “evil speech”. Now we get great replacement theory in the Times and politicians including Labour advocating for ethnic cleansing on a daily basis

Queer women who tend to be assumed straight by random people: any advice about how to safely get an uber without either being subjected to homophobia if you’re honest about your partner’s gender or lying? I’m naturally chatty and love talking to people but have recently have 3 bad incidents in taxis

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Farrah. Farrah was engaged to Muhanad when the war started and they had just bought a small apartment to start their lives together. It was destroyed before they could move in. They married despite the chaos and are now just trying to survive

To really age myself, we’re watching a Boyzone documentary (on Australian tv) and I still know all the words to the songs that I had on cassette that broke cos I listened to it so much. “Good Irish boys” was the reason we were given to prefer them over Take That by our Catholic teachers btw

I don’t need graphs about what jolly good citizens migrants are to justify why they shouldn’t be attacked. They shouldn’t be attacked because racism is bad and racists are cunts

The NHS are forcibly detransitioning trans kids in Brighton and calling it “managed withdrawal.” Their own impact assessment acknowledges trans kids will be at increased risk of harm as a result, don’t want this, and are likely to just use DIY hormones instead

In the message posted just before he was killed, Anas Al-Sharif warned of Israel's proposed liquidation of Gaza City. He said: "Silence is complicity." He was right. It's just not the disgusting cheerleaders of the genocide who are guilty. It's those who chose to stay silent.

Israel murdered five al-Jazeera journalists, including Anas Al-Sharif. They did so because they're now liquidating Gaza City, and want to silence the remaining witnesses. To Western journalists silent about the slaughter of your colleagues: Their blood is on your hands, too.

Successfully* taught my first ever class at uni 🎉 *didn’t die, have a panic attack, OR fall over. The rest is just a bonus

In other recent news: since this nightmare began I have spent a lot of lovely time spent with my wife, including watching every single euros match together, I started learning Spanish (which I love?!? Take that dyslexic fear of languages!), we’ve taken up scrabble, and I got some great new plants

We had a video call with an epilepsy nurse this morning who met with us for free for way over our allotted time, answered our questions calmly and clearly, was genuinely lovely, and then referred us for ongoing support, sent resources and courses for us to take. It was honestly amazing

The salt path thing sucks so bad. My mum has CBD and was — prior to her development of this horrible illness — a long distance walker with my dad. To make shit up and sell a story based on real people’s misery is so low

Pleased to report that in Australia they give you a shitty photocopied leaflet when they hand down life altering diagnoses too! Reminded me of home 🥰

In the sunscreen song it says: “The real troubles in your life Are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind The kind that blindsides you at 4 pm on some idle Tuesday” Well, it was 1pm on a lazy Saturday two weeks ago but the point was made. All upside down in an instant

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane

Most people really don’t know shit about the history or contemporary practice of psychiatry, do they?

are we at a place where we can talk about how forced - whether by physical violence or coercion - medical treatment already happens to mentally ill people in this country under certain circumstances or

Hello everyone in the UK Please write a letter about the EHRC consultation BEFORE THE END OF THIS FRIDAY This isn't filling in the consultation, it is making sure that they are pressured to set it up correctly
