A female face will soon grace the $20 bill, keeping U.S. founding father Alexander Hamilton on the $10 note, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is expected to announce late Wednesday.
The historical woman chosen to go on the bill: Harriet Tubman, the African-American abolitionist most famous for her role in helping slaves escape through the “Underground Railroad.”
Breaking the paper ceiling: Harriet Tubman on the $20
Tubman, a former slave, will be replacing Andrew Jackson, the nation’s seventh president and a former slave owner.
A Treasury spokesperson announced that Lew will make the announcement Wednesday, after markets close.
The original plan for getting a female face on U.S. currency has changed drastically in recent months.
The agency was initially expected to announce which woman would be appearing on the $10 bill by the end of last year – a move that drew fierce backlash in part because of Alexander Hamilton’s recent popularity.

What I mean when I say “I can’t do that”- Anxiety Version:
I am unable to do that
I am too stressed out to do that
I cannot face the humiliation of attempting to do that
My body will physically not allow me to do that
I am on the verge of a panic attack
I cannot do that
What people hear:
I am unwilling to do that
I am just shy
I am overreacting
I am lazy
I need to get more experience in social situation to help my anxiety
I need a push
I don’t want to do that
Proper response to someone saying “I can’t do that” because of anxiety:
Can I do it for you?
Would you like my help doing it?
Would you like to go somewhere where you feel can do that?
Is there anything I can do to either alleviate your anxiety or help you do it?
What about it can you not do? (And then, sub-sequentially, would you like help with that part/is there anything I can do to help with that)
these responses are literally SO important when you have anxiety
Sometimes things are really scary and if someone has confided in you that they can’t do something because of their anxiety, you should treat it as best you can
anything that goes along the lines of “I would like to help in any way I can” and away from “You are being a baby” is pretty great.
i’ve never seen this response attached to my post before!!!! thank you so much, this is an excellent addition
lets play a game of: did i really do this or did i just think about doing it
so hard that i constructed a false memory of it
this is a symptom of dissociation
STOP! DOING! THIS! Stop saying things are a symptom of dissociation!!! People daydream, people lose track of time, people zone out, STOP SCARING PEOPLE INTO THINKING WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS NOT NORMAL
this is literally that persons tag below it: #i know this #bc my former psychologist printed a sheet on dissociation and I answered it
Like are you fucking serious? The symptoms of dissociation (which isn’t even one fucking thing there’s 4 separate categories) go on and on and on because it’s such a complex thing? Don’t pretend you can say someone suffers from dissociation because even if OP does so many other people read this and then think ‘huh, I’ve done something similar before, maybe I have dissociation’ and you wind people up for no god damn reason
stop ascribing sexualities to children just stop stop it
Ugh this. The amount of times I have to answer the question of “Do any of your students have crushes on each other?” with “Well, my students are 3″ has gotten pretty ridiculous.
Soulmates aren’t rare, they aren’t, you’ll meet a thousand soulmates, just as you’ll live a thousand lives.
North Stars though, they are. By chance you’ll meet someone who encompass the way home. Someone who is home. And knowing them is like being found with never knowing you were lost.
And you will love them. God, you will love them as they are because they are yours. They exist beneath your skin, in your veins, to your bones. They were written in some far off past life.
There is no force that is more than they are.
You are born half in love with them, and to have them, to be theirs, is like nothing else. Nothing would dare to be.
