Historically the femme was the breadwinner and did the "masculine" stuff due to being more society presentable and the butch did house tasks and errands. People really need to be educated in lesbian history istg
can’t believe this must be said butchfemme dynamics ARE NOT butch / stud = does everything femme = does nothing do you guys hear yourself

A lot of depression is caused by late-stage capitalism. Lack of security creates 'no hope' mentality. IRL community helps. Ingratiating yourself to lots of geographically-proximate people with shared values will make you feel that people will have your back if the worst happens.
what to do when this is your actual mindset and no you can't say therapy

Last year I told my therapist about terror over my financial situation and her response was essentially “yeah idk bro” This year I brought it up again, she helped me find food banks, affordable meds, and a social worker. Therapists: there’s still shit you can say
Teens are telling their therapists they don’t believe there will be a world left for them when they grow up My family therapist told me therapists are talking about this with each other because none of them know what to say I can’t stop thinking about that

If your patients are afraid of climate change, learn about how to fight it on an individual level. If they’re scared about politics, learn about how they can get involved. Give us literally any kind of agency, something, dont just fucking sit there and go “damn dog idk”

So my dad was complaining that Ive on average been paying him back about 75% of what we agreed monthly and that was lower than my calculations, so I had him send me his spreadsheet. He’s calculating in what I thought was a gift. So I sent extra this month. His response?

“I don’t want you to stress yourself out catching up, just pay what we agreed to.” Sir I am trying but can we decide what it is I agreed to????

Blah blah content aggregators boo I love the body language here. It’s possible he’s resource guarding the bone more than momma, but I just love the big big stretch and chin on paws to soften his corrections. Daddy mad!!! But not too mad don’t worry

One major way to help fireflies (and other insects) to propagate is to NOT rake your leaves!
🚨: Fireflies are disappearing so fast that scientists think we are the last generation to see them.
Community note
Some firefly species face declines from habitat loss, light pollution and pesticides, but experts state we are not the last generation to see fireflies as common resilient species will persist. xerces.org/blog/are-firef… factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.67… wset.com/news/local/fir… iflscience.com/are-we-really-

My mortgage is 1/2 my income, my health insurance would’ve been $600 if I’d kept it, I’m taxed at a higher rate as contractor, gas is $4 a gallon, I need to learn asl to get a better job, i dont have the time or money to do so, and I owe family and friends $15k total
people survived the Great Depression and could still earn a month’s rent in a week. now we’re living through an economy where working full-time barely keeps you alive. how did we reach a point where being employed no longer guarantees a decent life?

Disability won’t pay out for deafness because deaf people CAN work but it also won’t pay out for the training that would make it so!! I can actually fucking work!!!!
