The NEH staff I know truly went above+beyond their jobs. Finding students at conferences to chat w/+learn about their work, core participation in DH field-defining discussions (including accessible explanations on early DH Twitter), focus on community learning (incl productive failure!) not Product™️

It takes nothing away from the brilliance of this show to acknowledge that this character was often humiliated and harassed in ways we would now recognize as totally gross, and it was Swit’s job to be plausibly so above it and so hyper-competent that she wasn’t pitiable or hateable.

One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.
