MY WARRIORS! THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF GOING AROUND TELLING PEOPLE TO KNEEL IN FRONT OF COPS AT PROTESTS AND TO POUR MILK IN YOUR EYES FOR TEAR GAS. PLEASE DO NOT DO EITHER OF THOSE THINGS. PLEASE DO NOT SPREAD MESSAGES TELLING PEOPLE TO DO THOSE THINGS.

Take water with you! Don't take your phone or turn it off. Don't have any jewelry or piercings if you can help it. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes too.
Stay safe everybody 🧡
BUT HONESTLY YOUR EYES ARE SELF CLEANING JUST KEEP GENTLY WASHING THE SKIN AROUND THEM AND YOUR EYELIDS AND LASHES AND LET YOUR TEAR DUCTS DO THEIR JOB.
Also, pretty sure the rhydonium scene in Andor was a metaphor for tear gas. Allegorically saw is telling the current generation of resistance fighters that tear gas is something you can build up a tolerance for, and even enjoy, like spicy food.
This was my experience in '99-'07: the thing about massive overuse of tear gas and pepper spray is that you can learn to handle it. The panic effect goes away fast.
Fortunately, I suspect the people out protesting are too busy to actually see any of the nonsense people are posting.
