Was this the same furry who got a job at NASA? If I recall, the guy who actually got the "suck my dick i'm working for nasa" comment actually tried to get her the job back.
- Looks like it
  
  ...ouch
  
  The handle is different

it's bullshit that that's what got her job pulled tho.
- The person she told that to, Homer Hickam, had no say in the firing, expressed disappointment after, and helped her get another job after (though I do not recall if it was successful). In an era where companies are increasingly sensitive about what employees post online, she had it much much better than just about anyone else in the world fired for the same thing at least.
  And really… perhaps I’m old fashioned, but posting stuff like that in the same tweet as your NASA offer was pretty poorly thought out. NASA doesn’t feel like the type of organization that wants its employees associated with messaging like that.
  
  While I'm usually all for that sort of consequence to happen to someone who is legitimately being gross or creepy; I don't think they should've actually fired her. Legitimately it should've been a stern warning and a request to apologize for the statement at worst.
  Do I think it was a good idea to tweet it? Of course not. Was it unprofessional? Probably. I guess it depends on if the tweet or statement was made IRL or on Twitter via an alternate account.
  
  i mean so? it's on an anonymous twitter account; it could easily be some random loon. they didn't have to track her down
  
  just about anyone else in the world fired for the same thing at least.
  yes thank u that's the thing I think is bullshit
- Not really. She's a cunt with main character syndrome. I wouldn't hire her either.

  main character syndrome
  Pot calling the kettle black right here.
  
  dick and balls

Still swearing though lol. Wasn't that what got her fired lmfao
- No, I think it was mostly telling the Space Council member to suck their member.
  
  Right some folks in here pretending they were fired for saying fuck when actually they were fired for saying “suck my dick, I work at nasa” to an important member of the space network lol
  
  Homer Hickam is a fairly famous name in NASA history. She didn't just tell a Space Council member to suck her dick and balls. The film October Sky is about his life growing up as the son of a coal miner and pushing past his dad's disdain for highfalutin rocket engineering. Jake Gyllenhaal plays Homer Hickam. It's pretty good. So what are you up today?
- there's nothing wrong with swearing
  
  There ain't, but he said "language" because NASA had like some kinda code of conduct for that kinda communications online and she broke it iirc by swearing — and then by calling one of the biggest names in NASA to suck her dick and balls, even though he didn't want her to lose her job over it.
  
  Absolutely not. A company gets to choose who it hires and fires though, and if you act in a way contrary to their rationale then they have no obligation to keep you around.
  There's nothing wrong with getting an explicit photorealistic tattoo of a vulva on your forehead either, but your boss at the childcare centre might not like it and you'll probably lose your job.

why aren't you allowed to complain about your job on the national posting site
- No one stopped her from complaining
- They weren’t complaining.
