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

no problems there.
Until she discovers a problem and tries to become a whistleblower.
TLDR from the actual interview with her:
Heartbreaking.
Also imagine having a social media account actual tied to you irl
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.
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”
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
