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:
That's only slightly less dogshit.
Language
Suck my dick and balls. I'm shit posting on Lemmy!
And I am on the National Shitposting Council that oversees Lemmy.

watch yo profamity
That's what Jesus said when you slid out of your mom's front butt.
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?
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.
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.
Until she discovers a problem and tries to become a whistleblower.
yup, or literally anything else that could possibly happen at that company right now.
Oh, so that's why the fronts are falling off all their ~~boats~~ planes.
That doesn't sound very typical.
Well, it’s not supposed to happen.
Don't worry the ~~boat~~ plane was taken outside the environment.
So it was taken from one environment to another environment.
No, it's been towed beyond the environment, it's not in the environment.
TLDR from the actual interview with her:
Heartbreaking.
Also imagine having a social media account actual tied to you irl

Ahhh yes history's greatest monster Jamie Loftus
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
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.
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).
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.
I swear I remember she didn't
No, she didn't. However she did end up in aerospace anyway.
There was a 16th Minute of Fame podcast episode about it, including a recent interview:

Why are podcasts so fucking long?
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.
I'd read it if it were an article.
To make more room for ads
Who the fuck tweets at people telling them not to swear?
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.
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".
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.
When some random person replies to me saying to watch my language the last thing I'm doing is googling them.
In fact, i might even be inclined to tell them to suck my dick and balls.
"Random person" is the trap
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.
