Ley22 - The Internet Is My Life

my mama got home today and she was so excited. she said she got me a present, so then i was excited too. i had no idea what she got me. she said ‘close your eyes and put your hands out’, so i did. and then i felt her put something in my hands. i opened my eyes and

“i saw it and it was chubby and you called a frog ‘big boy’ last night and i had to get it! it’s big boy!”

So today, I broke my wrist. How? Well, I was playing Pokémon Go at Sugarhouse Park. After throwing a Pokéball at an elusive Wailmer, I heard a honk noise. So I looked behind me, and running full speed at me was a Canada goose. So naturally, because geese are terrifying, I started to run away. I didn’t get far, because I tripped on uneven ground and fell. In an effort to minimize facial injury, I put my arm out to catch myself. My wrist hit a curb and I heard a crack. At this point I’m thinking I should have stayed in bed. But it got worse. A second later, I heard another honk and the fucking goose BIT MY LEG. So I kicked it in the head, and it ran away. Now, I’m crying, my arm kills, and I’m pretty sure at least three people saw me fall while running away from a goose. So I hauled myself off the ground, looked at my arm, and called my mom, because what else do you do when you get attacked by a goose? She told me to go to the doctor. So I did. An hour later, I left the doctor’s office in a splint, with the news that I broke my wrist. While trying to escape a crazy goose. The only good thing is I caught the Wailmer. PSA: this photo was taken while parked at the doctor’s office. I’m pretty sure I didn’t kick the goose hard enough to really hurt it. I’d like to lodge a complaint to Canada about their geese. #pokemongo #pokemonstory #geeseareevil #iliterallybrokemywrist #fuckgeese #sendhelp #atleastmyhairlookedgood (at Sugar House Park)

Autistic NY Black teen gets lost running 5K, assaulted by a white man who’s afraid of getting mugged.

For more than two years, Clarise Coleman faithfully attended every track practice and every cross-country meet for her son, Chase.

A few weeks ago, Chase, who is a nearly nonverbal autistic child, was running in a meet in Rochester, New York, with his team from Corcoran High School - was assaulted by a stranger in the middle of a race.

Coleman was waiting for him at a part of the course where runners would come down a hill but he didn’t appear and she went looking for him. She was shouting his name and then she started to meet people who pointed in the direction of her son. One of them said:

“I see a grown man, who is quite tall and fairly heavy … exit the vehicle and give this young man a shove that puts him back 10 feet and flat on his butt. Like, just shoved him across the road. The kid didn’t seem to be doing anything but standing there, obviously had nothing in his hands and weighed all of 130 pounds. This guy was easily twice that.”

This tall white guy was a 57-year-old man named Martin MacDonald who told the police that the reason he attacked the Black kid was he thought Chase was going to mug his wife and take her purse.

“My son is a minor. [MacDonald is] a grown man,” Coleman said she told police. “He put his hands on my son. Of course I want to press charges.”

However the police was deaf and on Oct. 21, Rochester City Court Judge Caroline Morrison sent a letter to the Colemans that shocked them: 

She had denied their warrant application, and MacDonald would not be charged for second-degree harassment.

Now the autistic Black boy refused to go to practices and skipped running in his last meet of the season. He turned his running uniform in to his coach, who gently encouraged him to change his mind. Chase refused.

“We just keep telling him, ‘You didn’t do anything wrong. Chase is good. There are mean people and there are nice people and this person was just a mean person,’ ” Coleman said. “We just keep apologizing to him that happened. Especially me. I kept apologizing to him that I couldn’t keep him safe.” 

The attack deeply traumatized him and he lost one of the few things that gave him a sense of pride and belonging.

Please, make a shout out to this outrageous accident! The white man still didn’t receive any punishment for ruining life of the Black boy. THIS IS HELL!
