You know those comics about an astronaut woman nasa had to delete, likely because of the overgrown cheeto?
You can actually still download them.

I downloaded them for preservation purpose, in case they eventually are removed and become harder to find.

@yeenqueen pay attention to what books they're trying to ban, and read them. They are bound to be important.

Oh absolutely.
Anyone should get a copy of banned books ASAP.

@yeenqueen why was it deleted?

This is just a guess, but Trump made NASA delete pages dedicated to women and people of color and their accomplishment. I suspect this is connected to that.

@yeenqueen You should save the page with the Internet Archive. Save everything with the Addon of the Internet Archive

You can try but when I did the archive failed, something about the link being excluded.

@sonjdol @yeenqueen I grabbed all the files I could find and uploaded them to Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/first-woman-nasa-graphic-novel

I should probably learn more about how to create good metadata, though. 🙈

Wow that's creepy. The blog post got so popular, they deleted the comics, but autor upload it to wiki.

Fucking misogynistic Trump agenda.

It's disgusting, what worries me is that the whole planet seem to be steering towards the right over time.
People forgot which side gave us better work schedules, rights... And instead is falling for the right propaganda, telling people how immigrants are bad because they steal our money while there's people that alone could help MILLIONS if they wanted to, instead they hoard money like a mythological dragon hoards treasure. I just hope they meet the same fate as the dragons in tales.

In the recent German election young men voted extreme right, young women voted left. I don't say extreme left because former parties with left topics moved also right 😢

Italy is going back to fascism.
We have a national festivity dedicated to getting rid of fascists. We have a dish literally called antifascist pasta. Our constitution forbids the creation of fascist parties.

And yet. It makes me sick.

@yeenqueen I really hate how a bunch of small angry white men are trying to erase everyone else. This has happened throughout history and it's happening now and my anger is boundless. I don't understand why these people are in charge of my country. They have been our past and they are present and god dammit they will not be our future.

I don't care about gender or skin color, Bernie would be wonderful. But it is a recurring theme.
The problem is the morality and humans are rotten.
For example, remember Trump's first election? He was competing with Bernie at first, Bernie was crushing him. Then they switched him for Clinton. Why? Because Clinton was better? I don't think so, I think it was because Bernie was too leftist.
In Italy who has power now? A woman, she's disgustingly fascist.
They don't care about us or the country, otherwise we would see actual leftists at the government.

@yeenqueen oh yeah. I hear you on that. Every time we have a really strong, Progressive, the establishment puts its finger on the scale and we wind up with a lukewarm centrist. And those centrist sare actually right wingers in disguise. The way to victory is to go hard left and stand with the people. The working people. The fact that Bernie and AOC do as well as they do proves it can work. Bernie is an old guy from a small state, but he has a huge draw. AOC is a relatively new rep who has enormous power has had it since her first term. Her impact is massive. It’s because they come from working people and they stand with working people. The rich people who backed the Democratic Party don’t seem to understand how to win or what they need to sacrifice. Rich people are the problem.
