They really can not leave a good thing alone.

On the fifth, “Destiel Day” came and went. People celebrated the fact that Destiel (Castiel and Dean Winchester) actually became a thing by virtue of the episode “Despair” — known as “The Truth” for the longest time until the CW changed the name of the episode — airing. Several hashtags came about on Twitter as a result of it, and a good time was had by the majority of people… those, of course, being the individuals who ship Dean Winchester with his brother (“Wincest”). Not being willing to let others be happy celebrating a ship that they personally do not like, it seems that they are going to celebrate the anniversary of the series finale where one of the main characters dies a traumatic death… and that’s what they like about the final episode. They also enjoy shoving scenes from this episode, and this part of the episode, into the faces of people who are actively avoiding it and do not consent to that. (And for the life of me, I will never get why they celebrate — let alone like — when the traumatic death of that character plays out, but that may just be me. I’ve looked down that barrel in real life and I’ve walked away from it. It may be that for me.)

Also, Walker is airing its second season… coming in at a 0.1 rating for two of two episodes. That is awful.

At this point I am more than content with my decision not to actively watch any more of the CW’s shows.

And we have another one, which Facebook removed.

Ironic that you would say that, given that my brain is actually two-thirds of the problem here. My primary disabling condition is a neurovascular one. But since you’re not a member of my care team, you don’t get to judge whether my disability is… well, disabling. And I did find it incredibly amusing that Facebook acted on this comment within, again, about an hour of me reporting it, determining that it violated the Community Standards by being bullying and harassing, promptly removing it. Friends of mine, as well as myself, are looking for the employers of these two people that I’ve recently posted about in the hopes that we can report these comments to their job’s Human Relations department. This is literally “fuck around and find out” here.

Another comment, since removed from Facebook.

Republicans in this state are obsessed with “proving” that disabled people can work and trying to “find jobs” for them, all because they seethe at the very idea that their taxes go to fund various means-tested programs for a lot of these people. Facebook took down this comment within about a hour after I had reported it, telling me that it violated their Community Standards on harassment and bullying. And again, I am choosing to redact my name but not this individual’s — I am going to make these people own exactly what they say, and if their jobs can be located (assuming that they, the almighty arbiter of the taxpayer dollar, have jobs… wouldn’t it be ironic if they didn’t?), friends of mine as well as myself will be sending unredacted screenshots of these comments to their job’s Human Relations department. Sometimes these departments take these things seriously, as they should, because they are technically reflections on their company’s ethics what with employees of theirs brazenly saying them. This just seems to be a thing that leftists do now… I support it.
