Lindy West (via lavenderlabia) HOLY (via supersandys-space) Whoa. (via missgingerlee) Reblog like wildfire. (via foulmouthedliberty) |
If you’re confused about how airplanes stay up, you don’t fucking e-mail Richard Branson. And if you did, and you didn’t hear back, you wouldn’t assume that he isn’t really committed to making airplanes stay up—or that airplanes aren’t really in the sky. You’d assume that he’s FUCKING BUSY.
Say a man worked really hard to establish a smart, nuanced blog about the nature of black holes. If you noticed someone constantly hounding that dude to prove that space exists, would you take that person seriously as a part of the discourse? Would you accuse the black-hole blogger of “stifling the conversation” if he refused to engage with every single dodo?
