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.

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.

This person came after my children when he found out that they are disabled and receive various government benefits as a result of that. I decided that since he had the nerve to come after my children, I would censor my own name out but not his — make him own what he said. And with the help of a good friend, this was actually reported to this person’s job, because my friend was able to find his LinkedIn profile and we were able to confirm that it was his. So they Tweeted the full screenshot of him saying what he said to me to their Human Relations department, who promised that they would look into the post and take appropriate action. It was this post that drew him a few supporters convinced that “if you can type, you can work”. I would have let this one go if he didn’t decide to come after my disabled children, but you reap what you sew when you bring someone’s children into it for no reason. I have decided two months in advance that next year, I’m not going to let so many of these comments go, and if they are bad enough I am going to try to report them to their jobs’ Human Relations departments. I have friends who are more savvy about this who are willing to help me, too. If they read this post and would like to, they can out themselves in the comments.
