Oof, yeah, that's rough. This is the work. Standing up for what's right is hard. Speaking up is hard. Risking criticism is hard. This is why so many people resort to #doingthework by reading books or posting black squares on Instagram or anonymously yelling at people on Twitter.

It's easy to say that we care, it's easy to make these low cost gestures, but it's hard to back it up with action. We all fall short sometimes. All we can hope is that the times we fail make us more determined to succeed on the next occasion.
