i hope those were not chisel's final thoughts! ;-)

and as to situational awareness; an experience some of us have is having to develop situ.awa in the context of violent parents, which is a whole other topic, i know. for me, having this childhood experience makes me just not want to directly confront cops in any way. odd for an anarchist perhaps, but i leave indirectly on the field of play. all that to say this, knowing one's personal limits is also strategic. i don't want to get into a situation where i am unable to have my comrades' backs because i'm emotionally/ constitutionally fractured.

thanks for the discussion & news next week please!

final thoughts only for the week! grumples confused me! anyway, this is a thoughtful post, and some of us appreciate being clear and honest and strategic about our limitations, though also the push to move beyond our limitations is important...
just sayin', right?

so i don't really want to be that person... but... this notion that limits are always something to push through or move beyond is part the fallacy of infinite growth, part ableist, (along with being part realistic).
it is, as always, contextual.

no one said always, right?

weird way to agree with each other, this exchange.

yea, i keep running sentences together that really ought to be spaced out to give the more correct impression.

but please, no need to wake jimbo.
