If any part of The Nebula says or does something you feel is racist, misogynist, classist, homophobic, transphobic, anti-semitic, ableist, prejudiced, oppressive, or problematic in any way, please don't hesitate to call us out or DM us if you feel moved to do so. You're not obligated to explain why it's problematic, but if you give us the opportunity, I promise you we will apologize, reflect on why it might be a problem, and do better in the future. We will strive to understand why it's wrong and rectify it to the best of our ability.
You carefully place the offerings in the pentagram drawn on the floor: a can of original flavor Rockstar, cannabis, a copy of Era Vulgaris by Queens of the Stone Age, a black hoodie, and the blood of a cop. You know the incantation, but even the thought of uttering something so abominable makes you feel ill. The words feel like sand on your tongue, but you speak. "'They can't be a singular pronoun," you manage weakly. The weed bursts into flame. The can opens and is half-drained in a flash. 3's and 7's begins playing from nowhere. The hoodie suddenly flies across the room and you duck to avoid it. My voice comes from behind you, "The fuck did you say?"

Cops, murder of POC
The second most fucked-up thing about cops killing with chokeholds, aside from how they're disproportionately used against Black men, is how easily you can avoid doing any lasting damage with them. In fact, throughout our martial arts training we've been taught that, for centuries now, chokes have been used to avoid techniques that will definitely cause lasting harm. We've been choked unconscious dozens of times. We've had opponents ostensibly choose to be choked out by us rather than submit. When carefully applied and released, that is, when you're NOT TRYING TO KILL SOMEONE, the victim isn't likely to have anything worse than a headache.
If you know how to apply the choke and you aren't actually TRYING to kill them, they're going to be fine. It's much safer than a stun gun. It's much safer than knocking them out with strikes. It's practically the safest way we can think of with our 13 years of martial arts experience to subdue someone out-of-control.
You'd have to try hard to hurt someone with it. It ain't a razor-thin line.
Reminder to everyone: It's okay to be wrong, and to not have the full picture.
It's okay to be open to learn. And it's very okay to just sit down and be quiet.

ADHD isn’t all cute and quirky and creative. It can be gross. It can be ugly. It can be painful. I forget to brush my teeth for days in a row. I have breakdowns over my nightly class readings. I have hella imposter syndrome. I zone out in the middle of important conversations
