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

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:

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

[–] hangonasecond 10 points 4 days 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"

[–] SpaceNoodle 30 points 5 days ago (4 children)

That's only slightly less dogshit.

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

[–] [email protected] 76 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

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 44 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 days ago

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

[–] SpaceNoodle 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 days ago (2 children)

That doesn't sound very typical.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well, it’s not supposed to happen.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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

surprisingly enough, for Boeing it actually is nowadays.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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
[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 68 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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 17 points 5 days ago (3 children)

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).

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

[–] [email protected] 31 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (9 children)

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".

It was a lot of swearing. And he wrote "Language". Then something like "who tf are you" And he answered big boss at NASA or something.
