Sie sparen Kosten, indem sie weniger Behandlung/Zeitintervall bezahlen, also darf man als gesetzlich Versicherter noch länger auf Termine warten. Dabei ist es jetzt schon beschissen. Also ja bei der Psychotherapie auch, aber auch überall sonst.

In Großbritannien wird seit Jahren darüber gesprochen, dass die Tories den NHS kaputt machen wollen. Was ist das hier bei uns?! Es werden massive zusätzliche Kosten durch den AU-Blödsinn produziert. Alle warten ewig auf Termine. Dadurch werden Folgekosten produziert, wenn Sachen chronifizieren, die Krebsbehandlung später beginnt, oder jemand zwischenzeitlich als Notfall stationär aufgenommen werden muss.

German politics decided to massively fuck over every German who needs therapy now or in the future (as a means to lessen the financial burden on the public health insurance, completely ignoring human dignity, and actual input of people working in this field)

If this thing goes through we basically loose any hope to ever receive mental healthcare.

The "Psychotherapieverbund" started a petition

That can be signed until midnight of the 9. Of July. Please reblog if you have German followers and send it to all Germans you know, so we can help our dear clusterfuck of a government to make the right decision.

I remember when our chickens were attacked by a fox and we desperately looked for a vet for one who was badly wounded but still alive. In the end a befriended farmer had to stitch her up and she ended up passing away. These chickens were named, we knew their personalities and we only had 5-7 of them at a time. They were pets. Vets generally were just like "uhm yeah we don't treat farm animals. Just let it pass away"

I'm now looking for a vet to treat my pigeon before anything happens just to have one in case there's an emergency and I already got the first no from an (AVIAN) vet. To be clear - this is a fancy pigeon who isn't "good enough" to breed, not one taken from the street, so there's not even the excuse of feral animals. Got told to just give it some dewormer in case there are worms and call it a day.

me: yeah i know, they’re all primary colors, it’s perfect

When you go for an MLS (Master’s of Library Science, which is a thing, and which is usually required for “professional-level” library work [which is also a weird and contentious concept that I won’t go into here]), one of the things you study is the organization of information. This deals with how to determine what a book or other material is “about"—a concept we tongue-in-cheek call “aboutness"—and how to convey that to a potential user of the item and make it easy for them to find. Things like keywords and subject headings, do I put this book about how often wild birds attack aerial drones in with books about birds or with books about technology, if its a fictional novel do I put fantasy in it’s own section or mix it in with all of the other fiction, so on and so on.

OP is organizing books by how they would look for them. OP’s partner is thinking in terms of aboutness. This is a system that works for OP because it’s their personal library: they know basically what books they own and they only own books that are relevant to them, and if they know what the book looks like, that can be a quick way to find it.

In a library that assumes the public (or people who do not own that particular collection of books) are using the collection, that doesn’t work. Books are often re-issued in multiple covers, or re-bound in new covers when they get worn out, and if the user doesn’t know what the book looks like or is expecting a different cover, they’re lost. That’s why non-personal libraries used standardized cataloging systems like the Dewey Decimal System or Library of Congress System to organize a book by what it’s “about”, and then put books about the same or similar topics together, marked with labels and signage so a person unfamiliar with the book or collection can find their way to it.

Basically, OP’s system works for their own personal library, because it’s best suited to how the primary user—OP themselves—looks for books. OP’s librarian partner is coming from a background of thinking in terms of a public-facing collection, where aboutness is the key criteria and communicating it to a user unfamiliar with the collection is the priority.
