Is it a good idea to start writing a new new book when I'm not done with another one a good idea! 
          	
          	No. 
          	
          	Am I doing it anyways?      Yes.

Expanding your field can actually be beneficial. Sure it may be more work but the satisfaction and motivation is a plus.

          •Traffic cones can be used to help stop tear gas. Take a traffic cone and try to cover the tear gas canister with it, preferably with the point of the cone directly above the smoke. Then pour cold water inside to douse the canisters as thoroughly as possible. 
          
          •Undercover cops have been seen. They try to insight violence and usually have something to identify themselves with. Sometimes they will have ear devices or something. Be careful. 
          
          •If you want to video the event keep cameras away from the protesters and on the police. 
          
          •DO NOT PUBLICLY ANNOUNCE YOU'RE GOING TO A PROTEST!!!!! This should be pretty self explanatory as to why but just to be sure: Government is on high alert and can track you and may try to harm you. 
          
          •Take tips from the protesters in Hong Kong. They've been at this for a while and definitely know a thing or two or thirteen. 
          
          •If you do bring your phone, turn off you location and cellular data. 
          
          •Stick with the masses and try not to get dragged off.

If you live in a city where protests are going on PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!! It is so important to prepare yourself and anyone you're going with. These aren't events you go to on the fly. 
          
          A side note: I have not been a part of any protests and this information is NOT from first hand experience. This is what I have been informed about through my friends and other people. 
          
          •A common misconception is that milk can be used when dealing with teargas to the face/body. INSTEAD use COLD water mixed with roughly 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to calm the effects.
          
          •pour water mixture from the inner eye to the outer part or carry a spray bottle with you to spray your face.
          
          •Cover anything that could identify you. (I.E tattoos, piercings, hair, and don't wear logos or bright clothing. ) 
          
          •keep your face as covered as possible. Not just with masks but wear goggles as well. Goods are a great idea too. 
          
          •Teargas canisters are HOT. DO NOT try to pick them up unless you are wearing heat resistant gloves.

Toby followers or anyone who may happen to see this: 
          
          Please 
          Please
          Please take some time out of your day to learn about all of the protests and police brutality. I know some of you may be young and some may be old but you all must stay informed. Dig deeper into the information that is out there, educate yourself on the long standing discrimination, violence, and racism against our African American people. Spread awareness, help raise money if you can, reach out and help where you can.
