@gvwilson i'm trying not to boost too much of this material, because it is upsetting to those more directly affected, and hard to find actions

it is a terrifying prospect, the erasure of research that does not fit a very narrow, very male norm. both the impact on individuals' work and the broader implications of why it's done; STEM as a techne of coercion and control, unchallenged by psychologies that lack those overblown drives; the loss of care, then human essence

time to reflect, not boost

"Checks & Balances!"

"The freest country on Earth!"

"A Beacon of Hope for the Planet!"

"Land of the Free...Home of the Brave!"

"Blessings of Liberty"

"USA! USA! USA! USA!" ... (ad nauseam)

Fascists always try to build false narratives.

For women, a fascist's favorite narrative for women is: "Kinder, Kuche, Kirke" (Kids, Kitchen, Church)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder,_K%C3%BCche,_Kirche

In an anti-democracy movement funded by billionaire religious fundamentalists like Tim Dunn, Farris & Dan Wilks, & misogynistic tech weirdos like Musk & Thiel, erasing women from history comes just before erasing them from employment & erasing their social & economic mobility.

Here’s another article about Rose Ferreira, the young scientist that NASA decided to unlink from its website. (Stupid, bootlicking NASA cowards! <— editorial comment.)

An admirable life story — born in the Dominican Republic, immigrant in the US, faced poverty and homelessness. Someone goal-oriented and able to overcome obstacles.

Spanish version stil exists on the site.
Removing the English version is a very stupid selective action apparently.

@gvwilson “404 The cosmic object you were looking for has disappeared beyond the event horizon.”

Event horizon. You know, the boundary of a black hole, the insatiable object that attempts to gobble up everything and destroy it with its crushing weight. The place where even light goes to die.

Subtle, #Nasa, subtle.

@gvwilson Keyword search, delete all pages. That's the level of effort and thought that went into it.

I can't imagine what else we're losing and the rate that it's being destroyed. People, datasets, history. You can't justify removing biographies of employees as intentional and you can't save face by admitting it wasn't intentional.

I know there is an effort to archive government sites to save these very things so we don't lose them forever. I hope your page was archived before this happened

@gvwilson There are people who were saying only a few years ago, while adults, that they would TOTALLY be the kind that would have stood up to the Nazis in the 1930s.

GROWN-ASS PEOPLE were saying this not that long ago.

@gvwilson
That NASA url ends with a "-2" so I removed it, just to see. There is actually a page there, but...

So, terribly sad, the way some people are frightened about anything that threatens their privilege, and how others bow to their nonsensical commands.

It must be remembered that it is these people that live in a prison that is more life sucking, then anything they can imprison you in. It is their loss.
