In a world full of Elons, be a Luigi Mangione.

Where others chase profits, Luigi chases heart. Where egos inflate, Luigi lifts others up. Where power corrupts, Luigi remains humble, grounded, and quietly heroic.

Because being a Luigi Mangione isn’t about being loud or flashy; it’s about showing up, doing the right thing, and leaving the world a little better than you found it. 💚

Stay kind. Stay authentic. Be a Luigi.

Because it shouldn't all be bad news...

I went with a client to a shelter intake office, where he was supposed to be assigned to a new shelter somewhere in the city. (It’s hard to imagine being dropped on a roulette wheel where, depending on the spin, you could wind up on Staten Island or in the Bronx; but that’s how this process works— but that’s not what this post is about).

There’s obviously no way a visit to this office is going to be a pleasant experience, and my client was understandably stressed. But the Department of Homeless Services worker he encountered was fantastic— she was respectful, patient, transparent and helped my client get his bearings, on an emotional and practical level. This person wasn’t a social worker— her job was to take my client’s basic information and enter it into a computer— but she did all of that other stuff anyway. There are social workers who could learn from her, myself included.

The system the intake worker works for gives with one hand and takes away with the other. In effect, it’s often oppressive and degrading. She doesn’t have the power to put clients into their own apartments or even get them into shelters that are in their preferred boroughs. But this worker perseveres in making things a little less shitty for the people she encounters. If you ask me, that’s real courage.
