        Even besides that, having an article about you and your work published by fucking NASA is some of the biggest flexes you can have on your resume

          If I had that happen to me I think it would destroy me. I thought of NASA as the one good thing still in the government. The fact that they are just letting it happen is weirdly depressing. I know I should have expected it but somehow it feels very final.

        For this community yes, but I think the over-dramatising works against the wider acceptance of DEI practices. Most people have never even had an article written about them, those people still have personhood, so does this lady. From that perspective it comes off as entitled and decoupled from reality. Who wants to listen to someone acting unhinged on social media?

        Obviously, removing the section is wrong, and we should have these articles to highlight the achievements of women in male dominated fields. Plus highlighting that it’s been removed by the vile actions of the trump administration is important

      Lucky for you, you’ll never experience erasure. Because you’ll never matter.

        Lucky for me, I don’t value my entire existence on random people knowing my sad origin story.

          hey maybe accept that you will never achieve as much as this person. Don’t pretend that a NASA article about you won’t make you feel successful.

            Haven’t you read her post? Her entire work was erased alongside herself… I’m already miles ahead.

            Reading comprehension -20, but I guess that explains why you’d drink up this drivel

              if you can’t understand why it is important to have NASA of all people mention you by name, you’re naive, ignorant or just a child who thinks it’s cool to diss people for wanting recognition.

              Please stop being an edgelord for a moment and think about the humans in the situation.

              your holier than thou attitude only reeks of loneliness and ineptitude to put yourself in the shoes of others.

          Maybe they value what they achieved despite having said origin story. I certainly consider that a value.

          Maybe you don’t have such amazing achievements in your own life?

            But that’s not what the post is about. It’s specifically about new people on threads not being able to read her origin story.

              Yes, because it can inspire people. It’s a very inspiring story. People can be motivated to do things with their own lives by listening to it. I’m amazed this has to be explained to you why removing it is a bad thing.
