In this clip, a Black friend talks to her white friend about how stressful it is to be on social media and how it is no longer a platform to de-stress. Constantly engaging with videos of police brutality and ongoing arguments in the comments section creates a stressful space for her which she carries into her interactions with people in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I see what’s on social media it just immediately downloads into my brain and then when I go out into the world I’m just like, ‘well how are these people that I am actually interacting with, what are they seeing on their social media and how do they respond? And how they react to me and how do they think about me?’<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Her white friend observes how the pandemic forced people to rely on social media more to destress asks her Black friend how the protests for racial justice turned the platforms into spaces where the stress form real life is shared, retweeted, and reproduced. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
