@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

@ultrazool @gvwilson The answer to erasure isn't more erasure.

@femme_mal @ultrazool @gvwilson on that note, you can contact Rose at her personal web site https://www.rosedf.space/

Also, searching "rose ferreira nasa" still turns up lots of copies of the referenced article, published on many other science/news sites. So even the removal from nasa.gov hasn't erased her story.

@hyc Thanks, but I hope you realize my point was that policing disclosure of a fascist administration's efforts to erase persons is not a solution to fascism's aims.
