Nevermind the fact that Jeff Bozo is a total tRUMP ass kisser, supporting an abuser of women (as well as anyone that is a non-white male). Give me a break!
She's everything she always was--except back then, she didn't have money and a rich boyfriend. We know her from around these parts. My sister graduated high school with her.
Reminds me of a scene from the Handmaids tale where they let the birth mother see and hold the baby she was made to give away! Just to keep her from rebelling.
Wow… that’s a chilling comparison. If it is meant to pacify us, it says a lot about how they see us like we’re easily distracted from the bigger fight.
Of all the scenes in all the seasons that one made me more angry than all the others. Those ridiculous women pretending to be in labour, playing dolls like spoiled brats while their slaves suffered. The best evidence of why these wives are unfit to be mothers.
Exactly! They served as props that happened to be female. Yes, a couple are scientists, but the little ride they took is a display of wealth and privilege, not a historic accomplishment. The first woman in space was Valentina Tereshkova who spent 3 days in space in 1963. She is an actual cosmonaut.
Exactly. My high school daughter's plan has been to study astrophysics in college. This has been her dream nearly her whole life and she is getting discouraged with what this Fascist regime is doing to NASA (and to all science). She is NOT "inspired" by these space joyriders one bit!
Tell her not to give up. That was my daughter’s dream. She worked very hard and got her doctorate in astrophysics. Took her 10 years of under and graduate work. Good luck to your daughter. 💜
There is a whole world of astrophysics programs. Canada and Europe are both good places to learn and Europe also has a great space program. https://www.esa.int/
I would absolutely do that but I don't have the $ to send her overseas. Even here, her only way to afford college is scholarships (which luckily, based on her grades, she will receive). So many people in similar circumstances here.
I'm so sorry as the mom of a STEM kid (male.) If you can, have her get into a Canadian University. We still very much respect the sciences here. Don't give up hope - and some point or another, a red line is going to be reached. Or, I'll just smuggle her as her fake auntie and she can study here...
Unfortunately, I am a low-income single parent, so I can't afford to send her there. She is a straight-A student. The only way to afford college even here is scholarships & financial aid from our state university. She is in 10th grade so we have 2 yrs; hopefully this fascist fever will break by then
I sincerely hope it does - erasing achievements of women as "DEI hires" tells me that there are going to be attempts to shut women out of STEM in the states. Thankfully, many colleges are refusing to bend the knee, so here's hoping that they can help us break through this crap.
Let’s not forget about Gail King as well. Spending half a million dollars on a 10 minute ride while people are starving and losing their livelihoods is a little selfish…. IMO
They're like 'oh we're going to be inspiring girls to reach for the stars' and I'm all' gimme a break,this generation will be the last girls who were allowed to read'
Women of privilege going to space doesn't inspire anything, other than, "better get richer if you want to maintain your privilege." Playing Trump's game and kissing the ring isn't an inspiration, it is the downfall of America.
It's a fair point.
But it wasn't a criticism of Katy, who seems to be a nice person & popular in Australia.
It was a criticism of the misogynist nature of many US voters.
I thank the resistance for joining in the 24hr Work Stop, 4/14. 4/17-19 Work Stop focus is to shut the country down. People should progressively Stop Work until the country stops while we protest on 4/19. Please, protest loudly but peacefully.
#FiretRump
Of course. We all need to listen and be willing to make adjustments when better information comes to light. Sometimes, in my haste to do something!, it's not the right thing, and I count on those who know better to let me know it...
I didn't see it from that perspective, don't want to do more harm than good....I'm learning from here things my ignorance has blinded me to. I never intended to put anyone in harms way; we need each other. Thank you for your input, it's very appreciated.
It remind me the France during WWII with the slogan “travail, famille, patrie”
- travail, work: now they want American handwork as in asia
- famille, family: women have only one purpose, spouse and mother
- Patrie, Patriot: MAGA
Thank you. I also found this totally disgusting.
So many people don’t know how they are going to financially survive because of this Regime & millionaires like Bezos
Bezos money should be going to pay his share of federal taxes & assisting those in dire financial need because of him instead this
I can see 10 years from now in history class "sally ride was the first US woman in space"
*knock* *knock* excuse me you need to come with us. We only teach the Blue Origin Woman Pioneer story in THESE United States brought to you by Amazon. You will now be sent to work in the fulfillment center
They're complicit in giving a pass to Besos who has the rest of us boycotting, protesting & now losing to the Save Act because he supported fascism. I have no fucks to give those rah rah traitorous women who rolled over for an 11 min amusement park ride & will likely attend his $$$$ wedding.
But Katy studied string theory to prep for this ten minute flight where all they were was baggage! Maybe she can make a video of everything she understands about string theory! She's practically an astrophysicist now!
I have no idea. I just heard the story on NPR and got a laugh. Like this was anything more than a rich dude showing off for some women. I couldn't even name on of her songs.
Just goes to show how ultimately out of touch celebrities are with what real people are facing. Support those who offer real solutions: T Swift, Bono, Keanu, Dolly, EltonJohn….
Those women going into space inspire nothing. Just another reminder of the vast expanse between rich and poor. Listening to Katy Perry's drivel about her fascination with space ending with "we're all stardust" made me want to vomit.
My sister was one of the first riders of the Intimidator 305, and she did so in Daisy Dukes. A farrrr better accomplishment and she has the leg burns to prove it.
Personally, never, ever shopped @ Amazon & never, ever missed it. But do need to research all other Bezos biz to avoid. As for those women self-congratulating themselves on some 'women empowerment' message, cut me a fucking break. Merely a rich person's amusement ride.
How about the women stand up to Bezos and the fact he dismantled DEI at Amazon and supports a bigot and a man who has sexually assaulted women? How about that?
When I first heard there was an all-female astronaut team going I thought it was cool until I actually saw the article. They aren’t astronauts, they are just overpaid women who taxied a ride for about 10 minutes. Nothing to see here.
The reporter told Perry after the landing that she was now officially an astronaut...
While semantically correct, it's such a disgrace to hear that considering the long and thorough training actual intelligent astronauts have to go through.
Then it becomes apparent that it's not supposed to inspire women to be astronauts or scientists or aerospace engineers, it's supposed to inspire you to go on television and be rich for being on television
Oh, by the way, women have historically been the most important, productive and influential engineers in multiple disciplines of science that have ever existed.
Fun fact: one of the highest paying jobs for females right now is audio engineering. Women consistently outearn males in this field.
Agree! I find it absurd... the financing, waste of $$$$$ and pure attention-getting.... nothing to be proud of. Hard-working women everywhere are just doing their best. 10 minutes in space is nothing. Sorry to see it.
It’s inspiring because they are big names vs the NASA employees who are in the news. If Katy Perry or Gayle King inspires 1 girl to be interested in STEM - to me that is worth it.
Nice that the 1% had the opportunity for a trip to space but really, in an autonomous craft, they were passengers, not crew, and it’s little more than a really expensive theme park ride.
This stunt is the modern version of 1889 rich girls "trekking" off to Yellowstone Park to ride the modern technology on Yellowstone Lake. The message is; We're rich enough to do this, and you're not.
Snoop Dog's sales dropped like a rock after he performed at the inauguration. Let's hope the same happens here. I'm definitely not inspired. What a joke.
I don’t get it: What was “inspiring” about it? Filthy rich women spending 11 minutes getting a bunch of attention for doing nothing. Gee, how impressive. 😳
Thank you!!! I don't give a shit if a bunch of trumper women want to play at being space cadets. Couldn't get anything else on YouTube for hours. Fucking ridiculous.
It’s time to join together and protect the Rights of the People!!
MAGA Mike Johnson tells us that Elon Musk has cracked the code and now INSIDE the agencies! He has created algorithms that are continuously crawling through the data. https://youtu.be/pVbFqzgS6Q4
I just don't understand what the "inspiration" would be from these woman whose only reason they went up into space is that they could afford to purchase the $500,000 to a Million Dollar tickets. My inspiration comes from women who are balancing family & work life on meager funds.
You're referring to a pic that was posted on social media when she was in contract with being a judge on American Idol... where Musk sent a free cybertruck as "promo"... she herself didn't accept it as a gift.
This is such a "let them eat cake" moment. People are being stripped of their social security and Medicaid and these socialites are flying into "space" for 10 minutes for a joy ride with a billionaire. How completely out of touch can you be?
Exactly. I’m 65 years old, I need Medicare, Medicaid, & Social Security. I’m supposed to look at these women & think they’ve done something for women? Or something that I should be proud of? Or something I should applaud them for? Okay, hooray for them getting thrown into space for a few minutes.🎉🤷🏻♀️
Exactly, we need more ppl to see billionaires as the opposite of virtuous, role models etc & loathe them for stealing from the 99.9% of us. Tax them at 90% of their income to redistribute some $$ & they’re still billionaires.
Inspire them to do what? Try to get jobs that they shouldn't get because they can't possibly deserve the job, it must be because they're women that they were hired through "illegal DEI"?
I thought this too. How demeaning and dismissive to women who have been working in the field their entire lives to have cosplayers act like it’s the same. When it’s just a vanity project for Bezos’ fiancée.
I really wish the sainted Sally Ride were alive to see this, and comment. She was an actual astronaut and icon, among other amazing women scientists. Really glad there was no problem with cabin pressure on this stupid little trip because there could have been serious damage to expensive implants.
Two mega rich women going into space for a few minutes proves only how out of touch they are. Still, men and their egos are ultimately to blame for that stunt.
She still technically is even though now is definitely the time to release the information she holds onto I'm guessing to protect herself from any possible future litigation by him.
Sex addiction isn't real and he claims it to this day, he should be on this list and of sex predators as well. I'm blaming the system and her, just not how much you think, for not pushing it.
https://Hesanabuser.com exists because there is no public registry for domestic violence as well. I've used it, I'm one of the most recent posts with Alexander from California on it. I no longer have a meta account but at least his info is out there repeatedly so it's easy to find now.
Many women don't until some dude gives them the ick then they might bother to look them up. There's entire communities online revolving around warning each other locally, it's preventative.
Holding onto vital info that could actually have charges stick so he doesn't dodge them to maybe have to defend herself one day is useless for both her and everyone else. It's not just about obligation. I legitimately think she doesn't consider that much.
Those two privileged people going to space even for a few seconds does not impress me.
Think less of them because of their show of privilege.
Don't really support them anyway. They are of no interest.
The money those women paid Bezos could have done some real good for a lot of people. What a fucking selfish world we live in. Plus it was a waste of time and media coverage.
Entitled woman with their speeches of love. The way they spoke of space and made me think:you just set woman’s intelligence to a caveman scenario bc you were so lucky to ride Bezos rocket to space! 🤮It was just a rich girls folly. No, understanding of space and the science! It was just sickening!
I have designed a poster in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If you would like a print file of it to print out and display in your window or use at a protest (or whatever else), please message me. : )
Valentina Tereshkova, 1963.
First woman in space and only woman to have been on a solo space mission. Three days in space, orbited the Earth 48 times. That's inspiring.
Its not just those two . Fing gayle king went also? And Oprah and the Karadshians were there to send them off. I know you guys like these two but they also suck.
Couldn’t agree more!! Was a big Oprah fan years ago. Now see her as a big ole phony, Gayle as well. I had no interest in watching this crap, but Kimmel showed a clip of Oprah crying and KP & GK kissing the ground. How out of touch can they be????
Women are so pissed off with them. I read the comments on GK and Oprah’s Instagram & large numbers of women are telling them their vanity voyage is tone deaf. KP has turned comments off on a lot of her photos
She has been off her game since the tine deaf Hawaii ad with the Rock. She is no longer trying for o hide her contempt for the poor people that made her
Not really.She doesn’t gaf about working people. Hermes said we’re closed. Good for them. The Incident:
Oprah Winfrey and her entourage arrived at a Hermes boutique on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris around 6:45 PM on June 14, 2005, which was 15 minutes after the store's closing time.
Katy Perry has been harassed and bullied in the past, which resulted in depression. That's why she has comments turned off.
But, I'm sure your selective activism wouldn't care about that... because she's Katy Perry, so couldn't possibly be a human being with real emotions... 🙄
Lol. Tone deaf ego driven pop star pretends to do something significant for women with other wealthy females. Women call her out on this vanity project & now we’re supposed to feel sorry for her lack of nous? Cool story
It is not inspiring to see rich women pay their way onto a space craft for a publicity stunt. It is inspiring to see women out there fighting YET A-FUCKING-GAIN to be equally recognized in for their hard work and dedication:
NASA would have never made it if it weren’t for
1 Katherine Johnson
The human computer
2 Margaret Hamilton
Software engineer
3 Mary Jackson
Aerospace engineer
4 Joann Morgan
Instrumentation Controller
5 Poppy Northcutt
Mission Control specialist
So if I get this right, women are supposed to be inspired to create great things and work their butts off, but then men are supposed to get all the credit- because, you know, DEI.
How very 1960s of them.
Yeah, especially when it's basically an insanely expensive amusement park ride inside a ginormous dildo.🍆 Just a complete distraction & I could care less.🤷🏽♀️
And next year they are going to “inspire little girls” by partying at the world’s most exclusive island, eat endangered species and hunt humans.
Having ostentatious freebies is not inspirational
Those women going into space inspire nothing. Just another reminder of the vast expanse between rich and poor. Listening to Katy Perry's drivel about her fascination with space ending with "we're all stardust" made me want to vomit.
FFS, Joni Mitchell already told us that back in '69, Katy.
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden.

It’s meant to inspire white women that they can have zero real accomplishments and get a participation award for tagging along for the ride. Just more toxic masculinity bullshit from the rich and powerful.
Nothing, zero to inspire me. And Oprah crying while she watched was less important. Just remember she gave us Dr Phil and Dr oz.
Her thoughts and opinions mean nothing to me.
This is not important, or relevant, or beneficial to a damn thing except your own misogyny (and that of others). Women can and do *still* do all that with three degrees and NASA paycheck, as is their right. Do better; resist your own ugly.
Your surgeries not withstanding, seeing those plastic cosplaying women prance around shouting Girl Power is sickening and does nothing to eliminate misogyny
Ummm ok, RUDE and presumptuous af.
FWIW, I’m exactly the same as how I came OutThaBox; 100% unaltered, not even pierced ears.
More importantly, we can all decry this totally bs spectacle WITHOUT ADDING some extra misogyny, which is what y’all are doing. It’s not ‘better’ bc the context or targets.
Well hang on. It is relevant that there are caste-molds for specifically wealthy women that require these procedures and punish you if you don’t conform to them.
The point of K. Davis’s “Pygmalions in Plastic Surgery” is exactly that, these are systematic elements of control over not just the appearances of women, but notably they are elements of control over *everything about* women, and the decisions to undergo these procedures are not vacuous decisions,
Here’s Jimmy Kimmel yesterday. Were are the girls really shrieking like they were on “The Slingshot”, or did somebody insert that? At any rate, hilarious.
Wow... Through sheer being butt fuck rich enough you can be a woman that goes to space... How inspiring... Maybe study for 20+ years like some of these women astronauts that are going to live on the moon and I'll be inspired when your boot steps on the moon, okay, hon?
I don't know who would be inspired by celebs going for a little ride in a rocket without a destination would inspire many, but I guess one never knows what inspires someone else.
And they didn’t actually go in space, and the money this costed but meanwhile people are struggling, the white house is being dismantled for criminals etc. smh
The plot writes it's self. They are are as horny as hell and travelling from planet to planet looking for men. The downside is none one who sleeps with them lives. 😂😳
Sorry but the trophy wife of an arrogant, self absorbed rich guy and a pop singer are not the sort of “example” one would think of for women aspiring to greater things.
I have wanted to go to the moon since I was seven. My issue with bezos is that he does it for publicity. They may reach the bureaucratic definition of “space”, but I would rather go to iss or the moon, versus a few minutes on that imo pop rocket.
AI says:The cost of a seat on Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft isn’t publicly disclosed,but it's estimated to be in the range of $1 million - 1.5 million.A refundable deposit of $150,000 is required to begin the order process.The highest bid for a seat on the first crewed flight was $28 million.
I can think of a large number of things where that amount of money would be better served than an ego trip to visit where Alan Shepard went on the first manned flight.
Ummm . . . Wealthy women are being propagandized while hard-working educated female scientists are being RIF’d/fired. How is the news being presented/sold?
This commercial play of these disgustingly wealthy women and the fuzz they made about it is a insult to all the women who were in space before them for a real job.

Entitled rich ladies? Nah…not so much.
Is this suppose to keep us from rebelling??
Not rubbed elbows with the same people who want to remove the rights from the same girls she claims to support.
Woman as President?
OMG are you joking?
When a Republican hires a woman, it's for sex. The ones that don't put out get "performance" nastygrams.
In 2016, she was mocked for endorsing Hillary.
Don't blame her for America's stupidity.
But it wasn't a criticism of Katy, who seems to be a nice person & popular in Australia.
It was a criticism of the misogynist nature of many US voters.
They didn't break any barriers, who cares.
You seem to think you had something here... 🙄
Also, Katy Perry has always endorsed the democratic nominee for president since the beginning of her career.

Step one in not getting rounded up because of a protest you attended, don't have anything with your name saying you attended the protest.
Meanwhile, real astronauts sacrifice & train for years preparing for space missions which separate them from loved ones. Yes, math is hard.

Let’s not forget the twine!
inspire wealthy women to spend the $600,000 for a joyride.
While semantically correct, it's such a disgrace to hear that considering the long and thorough training actual intelligent astronauts have to go through.
We're really in the Idiocracy movie, aren't we?
Fun fact: one of the highest paying jobs for females right now is audio engineering. Women consistently outearn males in this field.
Sensitive boys don't like it when girls not only win the bread, they win more bread consistently than the boys
What stops women going into space (if that is what they want to do) is not the fact that they are women.
It's the cost.
Attention seeking, costly stunts like that are repulsive and insulting, especially when SO many are suffering now!
Shame. On. Them.
Also, Katy Perry is NOT a Trump supporter! I'm not sure of the others, but Katy literally supported Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris.

It doesn't matter if you know these people or not... what's the point of spreading false information!?
If someone is truly as bad as you say, you should be able to use actual facts. Not resort to lies.
These publicity stunts make light (if not mockery) of actual female pilots, engineers etc. who make it into space via MERIT.
Maybe it’s this kind of behavior that makes us think the billionaires are douches
