What was the original exchange? I can't remember, though I do remember the drama to follow.

[-] IDew@lemm.ee 151 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

There's probably higher quality pictures out there, but I figured this would work

I bet you have your reasons for posting the most dogshit version of this picture available, while also linking to a site with a much clearer version.

In case someone wants a better version and to save a click:

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

That's only slightly less dogshit.

My app compressed it to the point where it looked like the other one, what happens if you tap into it?

Censoring language on a screenshot is so stupid. Who is doing this? For what purpose?

[-] hangonasecond@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Reach a broader audience on dogshit platforms. At least this is proper censoring and not a piss take off a line through the "bad word"

If you want to learn more about it than is frankly reasonable, Jamie Loftus recorded a detailed history including an interview with Naomi H.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 77 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

yEs!

thanks

worth it, thanks.

apparently Homer Hickman tried to help her get her job back, but it didn't work, but now she's an aerospace engineer at Boeing...so things are going great .

no problems there.

[-] coyootje@lemmy.world 45 points 2 months ago

Until she discovers a problem and tries to become a whistleblower.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months ago

yup, or literally anything else that could possibly happen at that company right now.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

Oh, so that's why the fronts are falling off all their ~~boats~~ planes.

[-] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 19 points 2 months ago

That doesn't sound very typical.

[-] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 18 points 2 months ago

Well, it’s not supposed to happen.

[-] Manalith@midwest.social 7 points 2 months ago

Don't worry the ~~boat~~ plane was taken outside the environment.

TLDR from the actual interview with her:

  • She did lose the internship. He did try to get it back for her but it didn’t work.
  • She eventually ended up working for Boeing, but on commercial jet engines rather than space stuff.
  • they called her to rescind her internship while she was at her brother’s wedding
[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 months ago

Heartbreaking.

Also imagine having a social media account actual tied to you irl

It was something like this:

A: Everybody shut the fuck up I got accepted into NASA

B: mind your language

A: fuck you

B: denys A the scholarship

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 69 points 2 months ago

Homer didn't deny anything, he wasn't even involved in that decision. He even put in a good word for her. However she basically lied when she was asked about it and that dug her in deeper, also leaving the post up didn't help.

NASA basically wanted her to not draw controversy to the agency over social media, per their rules, and they normally have a reasonable amount of leeway. But there were a couple concerning things during the process, mistakes she made (that she has probably since grown from) that led to NASA passing on her internship.

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Let's not overlook the thousands of transphobes on 4chan, 8chan, and kiwi farms who reported the tweet to NASA just to try to get her fired.

From what I remember and what a quick search on the internet confirmed, B didn't actually deny her anything. He actually went out of his way to do as much good for her as he could. He claims to have replied "Language." because he knew other people at NASA with more say on her job would find her, which would get her into trouble (and they did find her even before his first Tweet).

[-] TommySoda@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Did... Did they get the job? I kinda hope they did. Being overly excited can fuck you over sometimes. Like a weird yell could even fuck you over.

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

I swear I remember she didn't

Why are podcasts so fucking long?

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I want to hear this story but I'm not interested enough to invest over an hour. I'd listen if it was 10 minutes.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

I'd read it if it were an article.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

Yep. And I'm not even remotely interested in the chitchat. Podcasts dont really work for me because theyre 90% off topic. lol

Who the fuck tweets at people telling them not to swear?

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 31 points 2 months ago

Someone high up in the chain of command you are trying to join that knows a professional public perception is important when we shot people into space? That type of thing gets taken very seriously by people in the PR world.

[-] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 8 points 2 months ago

Sure, but it's understandable that there would be a misunderstanding in an interaction like that. Something like "this kind of language is not appropriate here at nasa", or simply "this is unprofessional".

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

That's what the first reply was saying. Someone ready to work at NASA would do a cursory Google, or know who Homer Hickam is in the first place lol.

"Language" was carrying a lot of extra weight.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

When some random person replies to me saying to watch my language the last thing I'm doing is googling them.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 15 points 2 months ago

In fact, i might even be inclined to tell them to suck my dick and balls.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

"Random person" is the trap
