Carrie was an utter gift.

I normally don’t like to add to posts, but this is just one of my favorite things about her. I guess Carrie Fisher just carried glitter everywhere, because she did the same thing at Indiana Comic Con when she was there in 2015. She actually kinda got in trouble because she was taking so long with each person who came for autographs because she wanted to “baptize them” with her glitter. She wanted to make sure that everyone who saw her got some glitter.

tldr; she was truly a gift and i sobbed at work when i got a notification that she passed, and i’m crying now as i type this.

So what if we all picked a day and wore glitter for her? 

Next May the 4th seems appropriate.  Dedicate Star Wars day to the original princess?

LET’S DO IT!!

I am so on board with glitter for Carrie day.

She talked about how her therapist (I think it was in her book Shockaholic but I can’t check right now) always knew when she was having an ‘off’ time in her head depending on how much glitter she’d show up wearing to appointments. It was her way of making the world sparkle and shine even when it felt dark. It made her feel better. Evidently she wanted to share that with others.

I purposely went out and bought glittery body dust in her honor. I’m going to welcome in 2017 lit up like a firework. Ain’t none of y’all going to ever be able to hug me ever again without getting covered in glitter. It’s on. We’re doing this. And on May 4th we’re going to make the world shine.

For Carrie.

@scribefindegil

I’m friends with a makeup artist who worked for a bunch of various comic conventions. Basically, she was hired to make the celebrities up so they would looked polished and professional for photo ops and the like. She did Carrie Fisher’s makeup pretty often for these convention appearances, and she said she’d spend all this time giving Carrie a natural, understated look, and every time, EVERY TIME, she would finish, and ask Carrie if she was okay with how she looked, and Carrie would say, “yeah, it’s great, whatever”, and then my friend would turn her back for like, .02 seconds, and by the time she turned back around, Carrie Fisher would have somehow covered herself in glitter, like some sort of sparkly ninja.

IT GOT BETTER

People are going to forget this very fast

Carrie fisher was Jewish. She was a strong badass powerful Jewish woman. Rest In Peace space mom.

according to Wikipedia

“Fisher described herself as an “enthusiastic agnostic who would be happy to be shown that there is a God”.[69] She was raised Protestant,[7] but often attended Jewish services, the faith of her father, with Orthodox friends.[70]” 

So, unless Judaism became patrilineal when I wasn’t looking…

yeah it did actually, we all got together & changed it just so that you specifically would look like an asshole

Also tho like Jewish ethnicity actually can be patrilineal. Like I know she never followed the religion but she was a half ethnically Jewish person.

@sub-ignis here ya go 

Yeah exactly. She considered herself half Jewish so as far as I’m concerned she’s one of us.

yes you can be ethnically jewish but religiously other. it’s possible. she has dual lineage as well

[Fisher] says she has early memories of her father singing in synagogue, something that had “a big effect” on her. Today, as a single mother, she and her 16-year-old daughter often attend Friday night services and Shabbat meals with Orthodox friends.

“There’s such a loveliness to lighting candles and saying what you’re grateful for that week. It’s beautiful.”

Ever the artist, when asked about Judaism, she starts singing “Hearts and Bones,” a song her ex Paul Simon wrote for her back in 1983.

The lyrics read in part: “One and one-half wandering Jews/Free to wander wherever they choose.”

(source)

Patrilineal Jews are Jews.

You can be both agnostic and Jewish (I should know, being both myself).

Carrie Fisher identified with her Jewish heritage and considered herself to be a Jew. End of story.

hanari502:

I met Carrie Fisher exactly once at a convention, and when I met her she immediately bought a poster from our booth with the words “Hey Assbutt” on them with the intention of sending it to Harrison Ford for his birthday.

I’d like to think of that as the epitome of how I’d like to have met her and honestly wouldn’t want it any other way.

attackfish:

When I call Carrie Fisher a Jewish Princess, I am not simply calling her a princess who is Jewish.  It doesn’t mean what it would mean if I simply called her a princess.  This is not a title I give her to put her in some fairy tale idea of womanhood, to make her somehow safe.  Instead I am celebrating all of the parts of her that are not a part of the princess ideal.  I am giving her a title of honor and reclamation.

Jewish Princess, or Jewish American Princess (often abbreviated as JAP) is a term used to shame Jewish women,
for not fitting the White American Gentile view of what women should be, for being outspoken, for having needs of our own, for thinking too much of ourselves, or even for having mental illness.  Carrie Fisher, an unapologetic, mentally ill, woman who refused to be shamed, who was open about her struggles and the unpretty parts of herself, was a Jewish Princess.  What we are shamed for, she was, and she was glorious.

May her memory be a blessing.
