One thing that isn't always #clear to me.

How do you tell somebody needing #help that you aren't in a #position to do that directly?

I've always #struggled with this both #morally and #abstractly so. Because I don't like denying anyone any kind of #support if and when I can give it.

Maybe it's just my inner #empathy at play, but I often times feel like I'm there with them in that #moment where I can't just do nothing if it's not an emergency, but not a passive disinterest either.

The way I've delt with this, is to pass the word along to someone who I know could make that #difference more #meaningful or who I #trust to do so. It still doesn't #feel like I've done enough in those kinds of situations though. And I do often wonder if those #people got what they #needed because I was there to put in the #effort at least in part.

I would be okay with it, if it wasnt up to me alone to #fix it. But I still consider the plight of those who need the only #human in sight to act like one. And I wish more of us would and could do that on a collective basis. Our world would be so much better informed and run a lot easier too because there would be a lot less confusion and a lot more certainty on exactly where you stand.

Have you ever #struggled with something? Tried to work on yourself and wondered whether you’re making enough #progress? Often, #clients ask me such a question: “Am I making enough progress?”, “Is my progress #normal?”, “Am I progressing fast enough?”.

#Pittsburgh’s #gay #policechief is stopping #crime and #living #proud (exclusive).

“I am always so #appreciative of those that have actually #struggled, those before someone like me, who were the #pioneers and were ahead of their time and sacrificed so much,” #Chief #LarryScirotto said.

Indigenous communalists fighting for a world worth living in got kidnapped by the State in Eloxochitlán, hometown of the anarchist Ricardo Flores Magón. Happened the day after the Faena internacional. The bus back to la CDMX was full so I was still in town. Haven't left yet. Currently staying at the protest camp in front of the Courthouse in Huautla. Wrote an article. I propose that you read it, share it, organize a solidarity action, dismantle the State and smash Capitalism.

¡Presos Politicos Libertad!

“For significant periods of my life, I struggled to function on a pretty basic level, it was hard for me to literally sit down, it was hard for me to be productive, for me to be present at all,” #TheUmbrellaAcademy #star explained.
