What’s the word for the feeling when you support worker’s rights and collective action, but also there’s a train strike on all this week and you have to get to a show in Leicester?

What’s the word for when you deliberately booked few shows and previews so you could find the balance with travel and motherhood, conscious that Edinburgh Fringe is likely to be very hard, and not wanting to overdo it, and then feeling fretfully like you’re not making the best of your hard won time here in London?

What’s the word for when you make a little observational joke that’s mainly fun because it’s a play on a common saying but also, you know, it’s true, but not necessarily like, a broad manifesto or general approval of the tendencies you’ve observed. And then you post it on Twitter?

I'd say there would be a German word for it, but perhaps German law on striking means they can do it in less disruptive ways unlike in the UK, so they've no need of a word for that.

Human... 8) but "Caring" also fits the bill quite well... it is hard to care for the world and for one self all at the same time after all 8) Safe travels!

I think the word "complicated" covers most of those scenarios.

For 1 and 2 the word would be perhaps trying to deal with the suffering involved in trying to have your cake and eat it. for 3, I think it's just reflection crossing over into overthinking ethics in an ever-changing world.

All valid queries, and yet the first to come to mind is actually: holy crap you're coming to Leicester? Assuming performing and not attending, what show?

I tried Google myself, but sadly Leeds isn't Leicester. A manageable schlep for a gig certainly, but considerably less doorstep-ey.
