Catching Hands, Feet and Chairs

To be honest I don't really fucks with reality TV, especially those programs started by whyte folks where Black people commit violence and hostility towards each other for the benefit of views. Outside of RPDR which I left years ago for Mr. Charles problematic new behavior as someone with new-found wealth, I didn't have any of this unscripted drama in my life. I felt this was better for the soul. In the same vain I had forgone watching the systematic violence that police et al performed on Black bodies. My mental health was tentative on a good day, I didn't need that poison taking up residence in my head.

But yesterday while Tumbling, a video showed up in my feed, it seemed to be some ClipClock footage showing some kind of brawl. And listening to NPR at that time I hadn't heard of any news that correlated to what I was seeing, so I just thought it was some random occurrence. It would be later that I would hear about the brawl by an Alabaman boat dock started of course by some obstinate whyte folks.

I will readily admit, when it started to auto-play I truly didn't know what I was watching. Some Black dude wearing something that clearly looked like a uniform threw his hat in the air and these white thugs were attacking him. I was like #WTF is going on, and truly I wanted to pull myself away but like a well-crafted drama it kept getting better. Another person who was initially out of frame seemed to be running to this brother's rescue. I was aghast because these white terrorist were beating this man like he had no one who loved him.

What was taking me out was the background comments from the onlookers who were clearly also Black, you can hear their outrage and more and more quickly responded to the ongoing melee happening on this dock, including one young blood who literally jumped in the water and swam over to assist his skin-folks. I saw sisters wearing traditional summer-wear the long dresses that Black womens love to wear, come on down to let the Karen's know, NOT TODAY KAREN! #👊🏿

I had mixed feelings of bemusement, shame, pride, anger and satisfaction as I saw these clearly entitled whyte folks catch hands, feet and chairs! Seriously this has been the highlight of two-thousand and twenty three in my humble opinion. All the shenanigans going on in this country it felt like a societal releasing of steam, as these Black hands rose up to defend one of our own. I felt such solidarity with everyone there and the feelings of being sick and tired of being sick and tired. I realize that the whytes are also human beings, but I think I am not alone in feeling like they think they should take up all the oxygen not leaving any for anyone else. That any space that they occupy is obviously and naturally theirs!

Trust, I am not even mad at chair-guy beating some sense into those whyte skulls and I know that collectively we will protect his identity irregardless of the authorities pursuit of him. These people inadvertently were expressing the frustration we all have every day for the micro-aggressions, the unapproved loans, the unsigned lease, the job not awarded, the raise that never came, the promotion that went to someone else, to the missing that were never found, to using our pain as a tool in some political game. We're done! And this even for a moment was a healthy way to let of some steam off and beat the ass of the figure-head of white supremacy!

Omg at work today my coworkers were in a group talking and I overheard one say sadly, “I wish I was-“, then disagreement from the others. I pipe in and ask what she wishes… and no one is going to believe me …. I can’t believe it, but ..

She wished she was ticklish.

I immediately go back to whatever I’m doing with an “oH—” because I short circuit for a few seconds. Any w a y. 🙂 wish I heard the whole conversation

#I’m so gay for my coworkers- they’re so cute and so fun and I haven’t had a single thought Until Now . #like Do Not. 🛑 Do this to me. #I meant to make this post sooner but today was so chaotic and eventful I forgot to make the Tickle Post™ #like I got snipped at by a Karen today so the lady I previously served tipped me $5 snkbdggfh #did some really good Christmas shopping~ #old man hit on me at the bus stop 🙃 #today was l o n g . #but very good~ ❤️ #my posts #text #tickles

I don’t want to put this into the tags because it’s absolutely unconfirmed but it rotates in my head all the time;

Over a month ago someone got in contact with an alleged extra who said they were working as a military nurse (this person provided a LinkedIn account but did not share any pictures of the set / them on set). I’m sharing now because although I don’t fully believe their claims without set photos, they do add up.

They didn’t share many plot details due to them only working on hospital/ infirmary sets where they are tending to peoples’ injuries, but these were their observations:

-Apparently there are injuries sustained by all of the characters - except for Will who is noticeably spared.

-Because of the above, Will stands as a rock for the group and starts becoming a leader.

-Both our main characters and civilians are getting injured even after the time skip.

-There seems to be two major sects in the military between the good guys and the bad guys (alleged leaker said they were the good side).

-Time skip is limited to episode 1 and we get to see time progress, it’s not an instant quick jump to the future.

-Most scenes they have filmed are with groups, or at the smallest, trios, so there seems to be a focus on community and family.

Of course they were asked about By/ler, and while this person said that they were not present for any heart-to-heart scenes between them, they have heard vaguely about their relationship. Apparently they are collaborating on an investigation.

They also mentioned Mike’s way of stepping up means him getting more injuries.

Personally I love the concept of Will coming into his own (as the Duffers said!) and no longer being the victim but becoming the support and a leader too. I want to see Will’s progression into a confident, self-assured person. It also interests me that he doesn’t get injured at all, which is something I’ve thought for a while - Vecna is purposely sparing him from harm.

The idea of Mike leading meaning him getting hurt a lot more checks out with Mike’s low self esteem, depression, and sacrificial tendencies (cliff scene…). I could see that segueing into scenes with his family and with Will, concerned about his well being and lack of self preservation.

begging people to understand that "mike is not being abused by ted and karen" and "ted and karen are not good parents towards mike and this is something that we are supposed to take notice of throughout the show" are two statements that can and should coexist

#putting this on a fucking billboard idc #i also feel like my opinion holds some weight because my mother grew up in a family just like mike's and she did NOT turn out good okay. #she is fucked up and reminds me on the regular but thats another can of worms #like. her parents were not abusive but they were definitely emotionally neglectful #as are ted and karen and we ARE SUPPOSED TO NOTICE THAT MY GOD #i made a post abt this a looooong time ago comparing the wheeler fam and the byers fam dynamics #and like. the differences are so obvious guys. #cmon. please. begging people to understand this. PLEASE #and btw my mom is almost the same age as mike would be today . so #anyway. ok im done. byebye #stranger things #mike wheeler #st.txt
