The science community pushed for Rubin to get a Nobel Prize, hoping she’d break a more than 50-year streak without a female winner, according to The Washington Post. One supporter of this movement, University of Washington astronomer Emily Levesque, told Astronomy.com that “the existence of dark matter has utterly revolutionized our concept of the universe and our entire field; the ongoing effort to understand the role of dark matter has basically spawned entire subfields within astrophysics and particle physics at this point.”
THE THING ABOUT CARRIE FISHER IS THAT SHE GAVE NO FUCKS
BECAUSE SHE FUCKING CARED FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND TRIED TO MEET THE IMPOSSIBLE STANDARDS SET FOR WOMEN
WHICH ARE IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANY WOMAN TO MEET MUCH LESS ANYONE STRUGGLING WITH A MENTAL ILLNESS
AND SHE WAS FABULOUS BEFORE SHE STOPPED GIVING A FUCK
BUT AFTER SHE BROKE, AFTER ALL HER FUCKS WERE EXPENDED AND SHE COULD NOT GIVE A EVEN ONE MORE
THAT IS WHEN SHE BECAME OUR QUEEN.
THAT’S A TRIAL BY FIRE AND MY GOD MOST OF US NEVER EVEN GET HALF AS FAR THROUGH IT AS SHE DID BUT SHE FUCKING MADE IT AND THEN REIGNED, EVEN THOUGH EVERY SINGLE DAY WAS A STRUGGLE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT TRIED TO EAT HER FOR IT.
SHE STOOD UP AND SAID FUCK OFF, THIS IS MY LIFE AND THIS IS HOW I NEED TO LIVE IT, AND IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, THERE’S THE DOOR DON’T LET IT HIT YOUR ASS ON THE WAY OUT
SHE COULD HAVE BEEN BITTER
SHE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO BE
BUT INSTEAD OF SHUTTING DOWN AND LOCKING HERSELF UP
SHE OPENED HER ARMS AND SAID “FUCK THESE HATERS, COME SIT WITH ME AND MY DOG AND MY DOG’S UNREASONABLY LARGE AND FABULOUS TONGUE.”
I GUESS WHAT IT BOILS DOWN TO IS THIS:
I LOVED HER WHEN I WAS A SCABBY-KNEED LITTLE GIRL BECAUSE SHE HAD FANCY HAIR AND COULD RESCUE HERSELF
“… Remember that you have the power to be the lippy bitch she would encourage you to be. Let her legacy be a bunch of honest, powerful women who are not going to be told to sit down and shut up.” – Leena van Deventer
“Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. ”
“If my life wasn’t funny it would just be true, and that is unacceptable.”
“Sometimes you can only find Heaven by slowly backing away from Hell.”
“I feel I’m very sane about how crazy I am.”
“And when you’re young you want to fit in. Hell, I still want to fit in with certain humans, but as you get older you get a little more discriminating.”
“In my opinion, a problem derails your life and an inconvenience is not being able to get a nice seat on the un-derailed train.”
“You know the bad thing about being a survivor… You keep having to get into difficult situations in order to show off your gift.”
“There is no point at which you can say, ‘Well, I’m successful now. I might as well take a nap.”
“No motive is pure. No one is good or bad-but a hearty mix of both. And sometimes life actually gives to you by taking away.”
Billie Lourd, Fisher’s daughter, confirmed the death today in an official statement. Issued by family representative Simon Halls, the statement to People reads: “It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8:55 this morning.” Her legacy is incontestable – and probably a lot more than you knew.
