guys….,, being friends, like actual friends, with people you have systemic privilege over is going to involve some good-natured ribbing. it’s going to involve them complaining about [insert privileged group you belong to] in front of you or even to you. that’s not a personal attack, it’s because they think you’re cool enough to hang. it’s because they think they can express their frustration to you without you attacking them. you really want to prove them wrong?
[ID: A screenshot from a TikTok video of two people standing with praying hands. Text in the video reads: "Lord take me and whoever's reading this, we ready 🙏🏾❤️". Below is the comment section for the TikTok video. A comment from "Car" reads:
"HOLD ON BRO I AIN'T READY 🙏😭".
A comment from "Linussan" reads
"I DONT KNOW YOU DAWG".

Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?

one of my favourite things about psych as a sherlock holmes variant is that it nails the freak4freak dynamic of the original, specifically gus being the watson to seeming like the normal, well-measured counterpart to shawn's insanity until he's spotted 3 meters away doing the same thing if not worse
Everyone needs to watch psych right now

Bluesky post by AJ Cousins:
'They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood." Lugert-Thom responded, "I don't know anything about that" & she said they then asked, "Well, what about the Asian families?"
“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what ! was asked to do."
Thread by Will Stancil in response to AJ’s post:
Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they're doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn't white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
They don't know who they're taking because:
- they don't talk to them
- they're random pedestrians
It is literally indistinguishable from a kidnapping when you see it, except there are so many of them, and they are more heavily armed and armored than any kidnapper would ever be.
I know we aren't all fans of the police here but the difference between this and an ordinary police arrest or detainment is night and day. There's no "You're under arrest" and then sitting in the car while they ask questions. You are simply disappeared in seconds. No record of what happened.
If you see one, the most important thing to say is "WHAT'S YOUR NAME" because otherwise the person is gone for good, maybe. I witnessed one in an alley as the sole pursuit car, I was the only witness, I froze for a second and didn't shout it in time, and the guy is just... gone now. I'll never know.
I know some have been a little unnerved at the aggressive following and noisemaking tactics of the observers. What they don't realize is that it's necessitated by what ICE is doing. You have seconds and you need as many eyes on them as possible, and as many people trying to get key info as possible.
