This… Isn’t correct. Biden proposed a $715b budget, an increase from $704b. That’s literally just inflation. He’s keeping the budget flat. The $753b top line number includes foreign aid. Source.

Meanwhile, the budget includes the following:

A 41% increase in the Department of Education, most of which would find high poverty schools, the largest increase to Title I schools ever

23% boost to Health and Human Services including nearly $9b for the CDC

$69 billion for affordable housing, a 15% increase

$14b across agencies for every agency to address climate change in their purview

I can’t find the numbers but a massive increase to the IRS budget so they can audit large tax evading corporations

This is a total 16% boost to domestic spending and barely a 1.5% boost to defense.

Source

Y'all misinformation and manipulation isn’t just limited to the right. I’m not saying this is a great budget and defense should be cut but like. This isn’t a significant increase.

Please get your news from somewhere other than Twitter and Tumblr and please do your own research on things

Keep in mind that politicians sometimes attach stuff for their agendas to bills that have nothing to do with said agendas to force them to be passed, especially when it’s bills for budgets. The GOP loves spending on the military and a yearly budget MUST be passed, so attaching riders for other stuff to the bill successfully will force them to pass it just to get the money they want to give to the military. 

The GOP often does this in reverse where they try to attach some shitty thing that suits their agenda to a necessary bill/budget, too, to try to force the Dems to have to vote yes. 

Keep an eye out for this as times goes on, we may see useful things that need to be done attached to things Republicans like or need to approve to appease their constituents.

Therapists aren’t people who you “pay to pretend to care about you”, therapists are people you pay to teach you how to care for yourself

Me: I am violently depressed.

Therapist: Oh! Sounds like you need to do YOGA! That will help!

Me: *signs up for yoga*

Me: *is violently depressed in Downward Dog*

[mx-mythical-deactivated20260319]

Me: I hate myself and only see my flaws

Therapist: ok lets refocus on things you like about yourself. This week i want you to try and journal about good things you’ve for yourself and others.

Me: *does the homework* yeah but i still hate myself but feel bad cause i shouldn’t

Therapist: feeling like you shouldn’t hate yourself is a step in the right direction. Mental health is complex and isn’t something that will ~magically~ improve. We have a lot of hard work head of us but I’ll be here to help you.

TL;DR stop perpetuating the idea that therapy is unhelpful because the results are not instantaneous.

[kcsplace]

FUCKING THIS.

As a psychologist the amount of bullshit on this site, the amount of fucking dangerous bullshit on this site about how therapy is neurotypical bullshit and isn’t worth it and how exercise is pointless and good diet is pointless and that therapy homework is pointless DRIVES ME UP THE FUCKING WALL

Exercise is fucking important. good diet is fucking important therapy is fucking important. WHY???

because pills alone don’t help. they improve the hormonal imbalance (as does exercise and good diet which ALSO are a form of very real self care as your physical being is sorta connected to your mental one but go fucking figure right?), but guess what? the suicidal thoughts, the thoughts of harm, the thoughts of hating yourself, they’re still there.  suicides actually increase when medicated.  why? because suddenly you have the energy to fulfill thoughts of harming yourself.  which is why you NEED therapy alongside pills.

it has taken you years, or decades to create your maladaptive thought processes and behaviours.  that shit doesn’t disappear overnight. core beliefs don’t change overnight. these are the very fucking core of your personhood, your being and personality. THAT TAKES TIME TO CHANGE

STOP ACTING LIKE THERAPY IS SHIT IF IT DOESNT WORK IN TWO SESSIONS

[potrix-the-queerschlaeger]

^This!!!!!

[aestheticallypleasingurmom]

The stigma that therapy isn’t worth it if you don’t feel better after the first couple sessions is such bullshit. It took me 8 months to tell my therapist anything personal but I kept going because I wanted to get better. I thought it was bs too when she kept telling me to think about other things and to distract myself when I have intrusive thoughts (not exact words whatsoever). Now it’s 2 and a half years later and I can successfully switch from thinking about all the ways I could kill myself to the song Slippery by Migos and immediately start laughing. You need to let it help you.

[humanityinahandbag]

I spent a good two months in therapy acting like my life was a dreamboat, and he patiently put up with my bullshit because therapists are trained to help you get to place where you’re comfortable enough to open up. I wasn’t. And I was so glad that I was in therapy because at the two month mark, pretending like everything was going smoothly, I had a major life event take place that completely upended everything. All of the little things I had been hiding came up with it. 

Changes do happen in therapy. The advice they give you is worth listening to. 

You know what’s not worth listening to?

A bunch of people on Tumblr pretending they’ve got a psychology degree for clout. 

[aeliad]

I have been in therapy for literally years and I have just hit the point where when I go “man I hate myself” I go “that’s a shitty thing to say to myself” and I can reframe it to “I don’t like this situation” or whatever, and it has done wonders for my depression and self esteem. But holy fuck I am not kidding when I say it’s been years and medication, and lifestyle changes, and tons and tons of logging of shitty intrusive thoughts, and putting so much work in… but I’ve turned it around. 

You can get there. Therapy helps. It puts tools in your toolbox to teach you the care and feeding of you. Because not all of us learned healthy habits, and we have to unlearn the bad stuff before we can learn the good stuff. That takes time.

Never forget the fact that in lnx’s interview in 2019 he admitted that he used to try to pray the gay away and now here he is literally depicting his sexuality as being kicked out of Eden, stoned to death, & then ending up in hell but it isn’t in a shameful way anymore, he’s proud and comfortable with himself, saying “you told me to go to hell, well here I am” & it’s so important to see how far he’s come & I’m so proud of him
