I thought we were past the ridiculous and totally unprovable claims that someone else could have beaten Trump.

I’ve been volunteering for this event nearly since it began. What I can tell you is that it’s been grassroots personified: at times messy and chaotic and, at other times, a beautiful machine of good intentions harnessed. While there have been missteps (ahem, the name), the people running the show at the national level

Pretty much everyone in my family is going, as am I. See you all there!

Steinem there to ensure that no other white women go boy crazy and switch to supporting Trump.

I just saw Billie Lourde on Seth Meyers about 2 weeks ago and she was talking about her grandma—it sounds like she’s still a pistol!

When I saw that tweet from Debbie Reynolds about Carrie being in stable condition, it made me wonder if perhaps they had not yet told her the full extent of the problem to protect her (though tbh does Debbie even do her own tweets?). I can’t imagine how devastated she must be, as any parent would

It sure is. It is very sad to see a parent outlive their child.

I was fine, no tears, until I saw this. Oh my god, that is so sad. Just breaks my heart.

That pup is the best. I hope he has an amazing person to take care of him now.

That was so sad to me, as I saw Debbie in person in 2011 she was the sharpest wit in the room of 2,000 people. There was no rambling. She effortlessly regaled us with tales of causing Gene Kelly’s hairpiece to get stuck in her discarded gum and such. Made everyone blush by showing some leg and saying “not bad for 80,

I’m now a mess of snot and tears:

This is the one I put up. It’s her current age, it’s kick-ass General Leia, and it’s just perfection in every way. 

OH GOD NO THIS DESTROYED ME

I’ve been thinking about Debbie Reynolds and how when she got that lifetime achievement award a couple of years ago, she was a little shaky and wandered a bit in her speech, and how Carrie got up with her and helped her through it.

I’m not crying!

I like to think that she gave a fuck, just about more interesting kinds of things than other people. She gave a fuck about her dog and about correcting assholes and about wearing what she felt like wearing.

I am not aging well at all and it does kind of hurt to not recognize yourself anymore. Carrie Fisher’s attitude and intelligence about the process has helped me so much. Whenever I see the tired, old lady looking back at me in the mirror, I’ll remind myself of this quote and get the fuck over it.

Carrie Fisher didn’t give a fuck and did what she wanted. I admire that.

I came here to post this. I am in my 40s, and people my age get very upset about aging and think that it is a huge accomplishment if something thinks that they are younger than they are. Apparently, NO ONE looks 40, because we all look 32. I love her quote that youth and beauty are not accomplishments and I use it

And she died drowned in moonlight...strangled by her own bra.
