Protest tip: if you see tear gas coming, suck your comrade’s face and close your eyes!

It reminds me of a rowdy protest I went to a good while back, where two people in full bloc were holding eachother, exasperated, having drove off the cops and then marched through the streets in defiance of the state. A third person comes in, and hugs the other two, and they swayed together slowly in the light spring breeze.

It was a rough day, some comrades were arrested, and there was still work to be done, but it was a fabulous moment while it lasted.
