Get the fegyt protection mug.The subtle actions and behaviors initiated by Black men in places and events where they are the sole (or one of the few) Black people in nearly/all-White environments that are intended to establish goodwill and counter negative beliefs and biased cultural narratives. The long-term goal being to create more opportunities for future Black men (this is not necessarily to exclude Black women who certainly have had challenges but historically, men have had a very strong race-based headwind to navigate in American society) - to be more readily welcomed, accepted, and even invited into these places, such as neighborhoods, workplaces, social groups, etc.
Aside from being friendly, the other reason I give a friendly wave at every car that goes past me when I walk around this basically all-White neighborhood is so that when one of them sees another Black man walking around here, they have subconscious wealth of positive associations to draw upon to hopefully offset any latent biases that might make the experience more threatening to them. If you're familiar with Dune, think of this as the Brotherhood Protectiva.

Get the Brotherhood Protectiva mug.The effort of trying to make it look like you aren't just talking to no one at the bar and acting like a "boner".
Vernon noticed that all he was doing in the semi-empty bar was talking to his friend Cecil and not making efforts to talk to women. He threw both elbows on the bar and attempted to look cool. Vernon noticed his own awkwardness and fell into Boner Protection as an escape route.

Get the Vibe Protecter mug.A mental safeguard developed after repeated emotional stretching—especially in relationships marked by the Rubber Band Effect, where connection and distance cycle unpredictably. Snap protection is what forms when someone has been pulled back so many times they stop rebounding. It’s the internal system that prevents emotional whiplash, breakdowns, or reactive outbursts.
He used to chase every emotional rebound. Now he just observes and protects his peace. That’s snap protection.

These two prudent pre-shower protective procedures are very important to avoid potential bathtub-hypothermia, but are very simple and easy to carry out:
(1) Ensure that the tub/shower selector-knob is moved to :"tub" so that water will only flow out from the tub's faucet-spout, not the shower-head. Then turn on the "hot" valve full-blast and wait till the faucet's chilly out-flow starts to turn warm before turning off the valve and moving the selector-knob over to "shower".
2. Step into the tub and properly close/arrange the curtain, then turn on the "hot" tap again and immediately hold your cupped hands up towards the shower-head so that its "initial" blast of water will hit your palms and spray sideways, rather than shockingly deluging your entire shivering "birthday suit" with the unheated "residual" water that's still inside the shower-head's feeder-pipe. Once the shower-head's spray warms, adjust the hot/cold valves for the desired water-temperature.
