We love you too!!! And thank you <3

I’m a nearly 40 year old tomboy lol. It’s never too late

Sorry more insufferable glee posting, but: turns out reverting back to the person you were before all the bad things happened and the world told you to be different is amazing? I cut my hair, I play football, I have a wife, I read for a living. Somehow I am exactly who 11 year old me wanted to be.

Secret hack: all it took was my wife (very dramatically!) nearly dying in right front of me twice in a week, 8 months as a full-time carer, a cancer scare for me and ptsd to make me make change the course of the ship. Would I recommend it? Jury’s out

(Fair) genuinely, I am flabbergasted that this life was possible - I didn’t know

AND I quit smoking!!!!! I don’t understand how this happened but I’m not sad about it ha. Also to transparently brag, I scored a hat trick on Wednesday and that was good

Somehow I’ve turned my life upside down, started playing 5 hours of football a week, falling in love with it & meeting cool new people, on course to finish my PhD, planning a wedding, having a social life, not batshit insane, feel mostly good most of the time. Honestly didn’t know this was possible

The second most bad thing about women’s football for me personally is that we have to play on a shitty field with no lights and no lines while the men play on a proper pitch and have a changing room and all sorts, though that’s probably covered by my first point above too now I think about it

zedkat @zedkat.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

Especially very loud men who feel it is their god given right to scream about what “their” “girls” /should/ be doing on the pitch. Like dude she is a professional athlete who has a coach already, just stfu

The most bad thing about women’s football is men.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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 :’(

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.

4) the intersections of oppression a person is subject to in addition to mh dx probably count for more than dx itself, 5) schizophrenia is not a coherent dx, 6) the most dangerous person in the room of a psych consult is oft the psychiatrist themselves - pts, act accordingly and do a risk assessment
