Queer š people š are š not š all š fucking š activists š
Stop quizzing us on queer history and asking us questions we arenāt qualified to answer about the world and about politics and about our identities
Stop trying to back us into a corner so you can justify your discrimination on the basis that we donāt know what weāre talking about or canāt ādefendā ourselves to you
Stop treating every queer person that stands up and says āI want to be treated like a personā as if theyāre an activist
Cut that bullshit out
Marginalised people just want to exist and be happy
I donāt know everything, and that doesnāt make me undeserving of your respect or my human rights you fucker
I donāt even owe you the stuff I do know- I still am entitled to basic fucking respect
I think Americans need to understand how normal it is in other countries to have extremely limited hours of operation to ensure the sanity and health of workers are kept in tact. We are so accustomed and entitled to demanding peopleās time that we forget that theyāre⦠yāknow⦠people
Mary W Jackson by Tracie Ching
April 9, 1921 ā February 11, 2005)
Mary Jackson was an American mathematician and aerospace engineer at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, which in 1958 was succeeded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. She worked at Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, for most of her career. She started out in the computing unit at the segregated West Area Computing division in 1951. She took advanced engineering classes and, in 1958, became NASAās first black female engineer.
After 34 years at NASA, Jackson had earned the most senior engineering title available. She realized she could not earn further promotions without becoming a supervisor. She accepted a demotion to become a manager of both the Federal Womenās Program, in the NASA Office of Equal Opportunity Programs and of the Affirmative Action Program. In this role, she worked to influence the hiring and promotion of women in NASAās science, engineering, and mathematics careers.
Jacksonās story features in the 2016 non-fiction book Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Who Helped Win the Space Race. She is one of the three protagonists in Hidden Figures, the film adaptation released the same year.
In 2019, Jackson was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.[2] In 2021, the Washington, D.C. headquarters of NASA was renamed the Mary W. Jackson NASA Headquarters.
āFor Mary Jackson, life was a long process of raising oneās expectations.ā - Author: Margot Lee Shetterly
