GOOD STEEMING MORNING Y’ALL!

Every morning that I get a chance I will post a few things I came across the day before in these categories:

THE DOPENESS - THE CRAZY - THE FUNNY - THE FUCKERY


Lets talk about it. Leave your thoughts in the comments section. I will send Steem to the most insightful comments whether I agree or not.





The Dopeness:

LET THERE BE LIGHTHOUSE!

I have been blessed with the gift of sight even though I am legally blind in one of my eyes. I have been lucky enough to not let it affect me. I played football at the college level and faked my way into a drivers license. I am always interested in advancements for accessibility because I don't know how long my vision will last. If that unfortunate day comes I want to be able to continue coding and working on things I love. Here is a video of Erin Lauridsen from Lighthouse for the blind speaking about accessibility for the blind:



The Crazy:

DEMONS LIVE AMONG US.

When I first saw this I was not expecting what I saw. This is a very disturbing video for two reasons. First the graphic nature. Secondly, they way she reacts. I assumed she was in shock but upon further research I found other posts from her claiming to not care about life and drunk driving. This person is disturbed.

What makes me even more mad is the fact that there are Facebook groups calling for her release from jail. I don't see how any human with a soul would advocate for her to be free after watching this ** graphic video **


The Funny:

TUFF TALK.

Some times talking tough gets you in trouble. All though I do think this was a sucker punch and a bitch move, I feel that Ares Spears deserved every single last punch.


The Fuckery:

MOWING WHILE BLACK.

This is what happens when you do the right thing and your skin is a little bit darker. I don't like talking about "The Man", but this is a very real and common thing that even I deal with. I'm a college educated business owner and have had similar things happen to me at my own establishment many times. I would call the police on some drunk guy and they assume it's me that is the problem. I don't complain about it. I am just aware and live my life accordingly. This kid is brave because this could of turned out very differently for him.
