Use Carrie Fisher’s memory as inspiration in your own life. Love yourself unabashedly. Realize that your mental health is just as important as your physical health and deserves just as much attention and care. Don’t tolerate anyone who tries to make you feel weak, ugly, or insignificant.

Carrie Fisher’s Unsung Legacy

While best known as an actor, it shouldn’t go unacknowledged that Carrie Fisher was also ONE HELL of a writer. As a matter of fact, she had a hand in writing some of the best movies in Hollywood. 

Script doctoring, or script consulting, is a skill that often goes uncredited and unacknowledged in Hollywood. Writers will get hired to polish up an existing screenplay; just like doctors, they diagnose problems and suggest solutions. In the case of script doctoring, that means anything from adding in a few new jokes, to implementing massive structural changes or reworking entire characters and scenes.

Carrie Fisher’s career as a script doctor became the stuff of legend in the 1990s. Fisher was responsible for fixing up Hook in 1991, Sister Act in 1992, Lethal Weapon 3 in 1992 and The Wedding Singer in 1998. In 1992, Entertainment Weekly called Carrie Fisher “one of the most sought after doctors in town”—high praise, and one of the only accolades that Fisher would ever receive in printed form, given that she was not credited by name as a writer for any of the films in which she had a hand.

So now you know. Carrie was a brilliant writer, and her legacy will live on forever in many, many different forms. We may never know just how many movies she worked on and fixed up!

“Movies were meant to stay on the screen, flat and large and colorful, gathering you up into their sweep of story, carrying you rollicking along to the end, then releasing you back into your unchanged life. But this movie misbehaved. It leaked out of the theater, poured off the screen, affected a lot of people so deeply that they required endless talismans and artifacts to stay connected to it.”

– Carrie Fisher, The Princess Diarist

proof that everything is better with zombies.

when i was very small i assumed this song was about some lady who literally kept a human face in a jar by the door and since father mckenzie buried her that meant that he also killed her and basically i thought eleanor rigby was about zombies until i was like 12 years old

Watch the full video, Taylor Steele is always amazing.

Poet Taylor Steele captures the problem with appropriating Black slang.

In her poem “AAVE” (which stands for African-American Vernacular English) Taylor Steele explains why appropriation of Black slang is the worst.  African-American culture is being popularized on a daily basis and while Black people are judged and mistreated for using something they came up with ages ago, White people come off as cool and original when they use it.
