How do I become you? Sorry if that sounds creepy, but I don't think I could do nay better than the best you've achieved

Fake it til you make it. Seriously. If you start pretending that you think you’re the shit, eventually it’ll just become habitual and you will think that you’re the shit and everyone else will think so too. 

Use this newfound confidence to help uplift everyone around you. You have more power than you realize.

Realize that your outward appearance is not for the benefit of anybody else and you will be liberated. Literally if people think they can insult you by insulting your outward appearance, that’s as ridiculous as them trying to insult a hairbrush for not being able to solve the quadratic formula. Like, okay??? That is not the purpose of a hairbrush so who cares??? Why are you even trying to make that insulting??? Your purpose on this planet is not to be everybody else’s eye candy. If they have a problem they can look the fuck away who cares

Stay curious. There is so much knowledge in the world that is easily accessible and so much of it can help you become a better person and make the world a better place for everyone else too. Go in search of knowledge, don’t passively wait for it to be presented to you. Treat the entire world like a treasure hunt.

Collect friends from all walks of life. There is so much you can learn from people different than you, and there are so many ways they will be able to help you and you will be able to help them. Tumblr is so great for this. Everytime you get into a new interest or fandom or whatever bring some more people into your life and dashboard. Reply to their text posts when they’re asking to be cheered up or for a favor that you know you could do. 

Let yourself experience the full range of human emotions. It’s okay to be sad sometimes even if you’re The Happy Person. It’s okay to be angry and to have a secret blog where you just passive aggressively type in all caps until you feel better. It’s okay to go from a week of actively pushing self-love to people to spending time in a funk where you just want to eat ice cream and not talk to anybody. There’s nothing wrong with that! You’re not failing!

Analyze your motivations for everything. A lot of the things we do and feel are the result of external conditioning and can be completely done away with. We’re overly concerned with our appearances because if we weren’t, a lot of companies would completely lose their market share. I try to watch TV shows that people are talking about not because I’m genuinely interested, but to decrease my anxiety over not being able to relate to other people. It’s okay to still do things if you figure out that your motivations are problematic, but recognizing where your thoughts/behaviors come from will honestly completely alter the way you move about the world.

Announce your guilty pleasures to the world. Seriously, who came up with the idea of guilty pleasures? Who cares? If you enjoy something, YOU ENJOY IT. That has no bearing on your intelligence or personality or anything. I’m obsessed with One Direction, I jam the fuck out to Nickelback and I’m a sucker for dumb reality TV shows. This changes nothing about me. I’m still a fucking badass.

Celebrate the smallest of victories. The other day was the first time I took a city bus by myself, and I announced it all over every social media site and told a bunch of people. It was a fucking important moment for me! Don’t ever feel dumb about celebrating the little wins, because a win of any size is still a win and you deserve a trophy. Life is hard and we’re all struggling with things that we think are insignificant to others but to us are like, the scariest shit in the world. Celebrate the monsters you defeat.

Start to see everyone else around you through this lens. All nine of those things will change not only how you see yourself, but how you see other people. You will start to see the world as a more beautiful place filled with people who are more like you than different. Yeah, some of these people are assholes. This is true. And you don’t have to put up with assholes, and there are a lot of people who will want to take advantage of you - but that becomes a lot harder when you start to understand why you do what you do, develop confidence, and build a support network. It becomes a LOT harder for people to tear you down. And the world becomes a lot less scary when you start to build relationships with people who are also celebrating the little victories and learning how to love themselves and each other and challenging the beliefs and actions they used to accept as “just the way things are.” This way of moving in the world is infectious, and the results are catastrophically phenomenal.

And finally, dye your hair pink. But that’s kind of my thing.

Ok, so. The Trump budget. It has already passed the House and now just needs 51 senators to pass it and send it to Trump for signature.

There are 53 Republican senators, 45 Democratic ones, and 2 Independents that vote with the Democrats. VP Vance is a tiebreaker vote.

So to block the bill, at least four Republican senators need to find their spines and the Democrats and Independents all need to keep their spines. This will not happen without direct action from voters.

They are only going to resist this bill if they hear from voters in their states. They do not care if some person from California calls them.

It's really fucking bad for everyone except the ultra-wealthy, surprise surprise.

I'm going to go through some of the features of this budget in reblogs, but trust and believe that it's horrible for the vast, vast majority of Americans, including you.

Highlights include:

Extends the Trump tax cuts passed in 2017. This continues $3.7 billion in tax cuts for the wealthy. If this budget does not pass, these tax cuts will expire and go back up without any action.

$150 billion in additional military spending

Work requirements for Medicaid. "childless adults without disabilities would be required to work 80 hours per month to qualify for benefits.". They expect millions of people to fail to meet work requirements and lose Medicaid.

Planned Parenthood and trans care. "Bans Medicaid from providing funding to Planned Parenthood as long as the organization continued to provide abortions, and would bar Medicaid from covering gender affirming health care to any beneficiaries. "

Reduces SNAP food stamp access that 40 million people use. "mandates work requirements for able-bodied SNAP enrollees who don't have dependents.".

Clean energy "dramatically scaling back many of the tax credits for clean energy."

Border walls and ICE. "$46.5 billion toward completing Trump's border wall. It also allots $5 billion for Customs and Border Protection facilities and more than $6 billion to hire and retain more agents and officers"

Student loans. "cut $330 billion from the student loan system by scrapping several existing repayment options, including the Biden-era SAVE program that based payments on income and household size.". Does anyone want to have student loan payments that you cannot afford?

Guts Obamacare. "Saves $100 billion, but will result in millions of Americans becoming uninsured if they fail to adhere to new paperwork requirements or can no longer afford insurance premiums."

Weakens federal courts that keep using orders that his actions are illegal and unconstitutional. It prohibits courts from enforcing contempt citations for violations of injunctions or temporary restraining orders unless the plaintiff pays a bond. Bonds can be EXTRAORDINARILY EXPENSIVE and are not currently required in these cases. The provision "would make most existing injunctions—in antitrust cases, police reform cases, school desegregation cases, and others���unenforceable," says the god of constitutional law, Dean Erwin Chemerinsky.

So, you folks in red states and you folks in wobbly blue states (PA, NC, etc), you need to call your senators and save us all.

Call every day. Call after hours so you can leave a voicemail and not talk to anyone.

For real y'all, millions of people are going to starve, go broke, and be without medical care if this bill passes. Which is a feature, not a bug, of the Trump administration.

And it will balloon the national debt to pay for these tax cuts for the wealthy.
