@carrieberry Of course they have. American women have no place in space exploration. In #EvangelicalPatriarchy, women have no place other than the bedroom and the kitchen. Welcome to the #USA ladies.

@carrieberry The only positive thing I can say is “GO ICELAND 🇮🇸!”

When is the Trump-appointed acting administrator Janet Petro going to order that the NASA web page about Janet Petro be deleted?

"The space agency's acting administrator Janet Petro, who was hand-picked by Trump, also threatened employees with 'adverse consequences' if they didn't speak up about any DEI efforts happening without official approval."

There's another book, a graphic novel about women astronauts:

Astronauts: Women on the Final Frontier by Jim Ottaviani & Maris Wicks, 2020

In the graphic novel Astronauts: Women on the Final Frontier , Jim Ottaviani and illustrator Maris Wicks capture the great humor and incredible drive of Mary Cleave, Valentina Tereshkova, and the first women in space.

@carrieberry when we talked about toxic masculinity, we were always talking about fragile masculinity.

@carrieberry that's lame. Don't punish the artists. Besides, didn't NASA basically switch to whoever is most qualified regardless of race or sex? Doesn't that mean a woman might end up being one of the most qualified astronauts anyway?

@carrieberry Was it backed up? Was it #creativecommons licensed? Then there's nothing they can do about it. #opensource #openlicensing means #government #resilience and #democracy resilience. Also: Don't forget to do #backups.
