nudityandnerdery:rosalindrobertson:fysw:Carrie Fisher and Gary - Star Wars: The Force Awakens Premiere at Leicester Square on December 16, 2015 in London.So, this is important. Carrie Fisher has an invisible illness and disability - severe mental illness - and she’s been really open about it. Open to the point where she has her service animal Gary out on the press tours. Yeah, a service animal. Not a guide dog, a therapy dog. Fisher has almost died because of her illness - and the reason she could DO Star Wars is because she has accommodations that work for her. Everyone is talking about how Gary has stolen the show - but he is *important*. He is working. He is what she needs to go out and do this shit. Next time someone with a disability asks for you to do something simple to accommodate them I want you to think of this. This is Princess Leia and this is her accommodation for her illness. Okay, so I’ve seen a bunch of posts with Gary, and I just thought, hey, cool, Carrie Fisher just doesn’t give a fuck so she brings her dog along to stuff, which is awesome.But now that I know he’s her service animal, that’s even better to me. She’s amazing. -- source link
