The full Homer Hickham story is a ride. As usual, furry Twitter simultaneously makes a dumb situation worse while never actually posting the full story.
Y'all.

Sure, there needs be a level of professionalism. My company doesn't need to see the Twitter where I talk about dicks and beer or my AD (god forbid).
OTOH, what did the people giving Hickham shit hope to accomplish? That's no damn way to behave, and I generally aim to misbehave

great job, twitter, for helping a wannabe nazi chase a trans woman off of social media for saying a cuss

The whole thing is just a big ol' god damn mess.
I was actually pretty hesitant about posting all this in the first place, but I've been guilty of blasting someone before knowing the whole story. It's a bad look.

I looked it up, and they've actually talked, and Homer Hickem is trying to get her a better job than what she was initially going for.

To be fair, he could have explained a bit better why she should watch her language in his first comment. But at least he’s trying to help her get her internship back.

You don’t need to be a “rocket scientist” avoid linking profanity to your employer. If you choose to profanity anyhow, you‘re inviting their scrutiny. She succeeded. Given NASA is “govt” for 1st Amendment purposes, she might get be able to get reinstated. IDK.
