Carrie Fisher photographer by Lynn Goldsmith, 1980
I am someone who wants very much to be popular. I donât just want you to like me, I want to be one of the most joy-inducing human beings that youâve ever encountered. I want to explode on your night sky like fireworks at midnight on New Yearâs Eve in Hong Kong.

these new carrie fisher unreleased pics from the 1970s-80s are killing me
Enjoy!
Carrie Fisher gives Harrison Ford a boop on the nose on the set of The Empire Strikes Back
Sharing this cool picture of young Harrison Ford in his element. No, not acting: carpentry.
Pretty sure that generation has been dead for awhile but ok, pretend one thing has something to do with another
The end of Jim Crow laws was in the 1950âČs. The first black student to attend a formerly all white school was Ruby Bridges in 1960.Â
Here she is being walked to school under the protection of Federal Marshals because angry white people were ready to harm or kill her.Â
Here she is in 2010, eight years ago.Â
The generation that enforced segregation is not dead, fucko. They were our fuckin grandparents, and it was not that goddamn long ago.Â
Google is free.Â
Grandparents?!
Iâm 31.
My MOM was born the year before school segregation ended.
She was NINE when MLK was shot.
She remembers race riots in her school over school segregation ending in our home state.
My MOTHER lived through this. Sheâs 61 years oldâwhich means while her own health is shot, people from her generation will be around for another twenty to thirty years.
1956. This is not colorized. IT WAS SHOT IN COLOR. Look at thatâsegregation was still ongoing in the age of neon lights.
Same exhibit. 1956. Banana splits, poodle skirts, and the ability to get âcoloredâ drinking water only from the white folksâ backwash. You can see the pipe connecting the white tank to the colored fountain behind the little girl in the light pink dress.
Less than ten years later. Thatâs Martin Luther King, Jr. in the middle. Have you ever seen him in a color photograph before? There are many, but for some reason ⊠maybe because black-and-white makes things look old ⊠nobody ever uses them.
Look at the bank logo in the back. Colored squares like that were a thing in the mid-to-late 1960s. The slicked-down hair on the Black girl in front says weâre not yet to the mid-1970s, and since these signs all say âHonor Kingâ itâs quite likely this is 1969-1970. You know what else was happening in 1969? Not Woodstock, not the moon landing, although both of those things happened. No, something we think of as being much more recent.
THE INTERNET STARTED.
1969 was the launch of ARPANET, which would later become the Internet. BLACK PEOPLE WERE STILL MARCHING FOR BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS WHEN THE INTERNET WAS STARTED.
This picture was taken sometime between 1956 and 1958. I donât have a precise date on it, but the sleeveless sundress says later 1950s, the hair on Orange Plai says this was after Elvis, and the stars on the flag say thatâs not a modern 50-star flag, which was first used in 1959. (We had a single year, 1958, with 49 stars.)
Ah yes. It was so long ago. Letâs get some more perspective:
Donald Trump was eight years old when school segregation was declared illegal in 1954. He was nineteen when the police beat and shot at peaceful Black protest marchers in Selma, Alabama and twenty-two when MLK was assassinated by the FBI for trying to encourage desegregation.
Hillary Clinton was seven when school segregation was declared, eleven when it went into effect, and eighteen when Selma happened.
Bernie Sanders was thirteen when the integration ruling occurred, 19 when Ruby Bridges started going to a formerly all-white school, and twenty-four when Selma happened. Joe Biden is only a year younger than Bernie.
Elizabeth Warren was eleven when Ruby started her new school, fifteen when Selma happened, eighteen when MLK was shot.
You will notice that all of these people are running for President, or were rumored to be running for President, this year. Theyâre not just alive, theyâre thriving. And they were all alive for desegregationâin fact Trump, Clinton, and Sanders were all old enough to either endorse or oppose what happened at Selma.
But letâs keep looking, because theyâre probably outliers, right?
Hm. Three of MLKâs children are still alive. Theyâre between 56 and 62 years old. (His elder daughter died of unknown causes; her family suspects an undiagnosed heart condition.) In fact one of his siblings is still alive, and she was born before him! Sheâs 96.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg? Yeah, she was 21 when school integration was made the law of the land. And sheâs still serving on the Supreme Court.
But tell me again how long ago it was.
Iâm sure the people from those generations are all dead, after all.
Happy new year to my fellow han/leia shippers, especially to the talented fanfic writers of the community. It's been years, but the quality of the fanfiction in this fandom continues to amaze me up to this day. I genuinely wish you all happiness.

The Driverâs Seat
Leiaâs instincts and her speeder driving skills get her and Han out of a tough spot on a mission. Now to find a place to hide out, patch up, share a drink, and avoid any of the awkward moments that seem to follow them more closely than the Imperials these days. Written for HanLeia Challenge for August 2019: Getaway.
Read The Driverâs Seat on fanfiction dot net here.
In the spirit of âbetter late than neverâ and âI may not have finished the August challenge in August but technically I did start it in August,â Iâm happy to share my contribution for the August 2019 @hanleiachallenge!
Thanks to everyone who is helping make that challenge a monthly thing â and please, go read the great stuff other folks have been contributing. And if you are a HanLeia creator of any type, please consider participating this month or in the future!
Looking forward to reading!

Fanfic Author Appreciation Day 2019
Happy Fanfic Author Appreciation Day! I have not been very active in the fanfiction community in the last two years, mostly because Iâve been trying to get ahold of my âreal life.â Fanfiction as an âinstitutionâ, however, and the time I have spent among Han/Leia and other writers, is still precious to me.Â
To celebrate one of my favorite days, therefore, I am going to list both works I already love and works I am looking forward to reading (because I am so behind). Please, if you do read, leave these great writers the gift of a comment- even if itâs short, and even if you feel like you canât find the words to capture what you mean, please say something, anything. Commenting is the best way to thank people for their hard work.Â
@onwardintolight - The Opening (multi-chapter)
I wonât link to it now because I know Onward has been completing the full multichapter and revising whatâs already been written. But the word on the street is itâs finished and in the process of getting ready for publication. I am so excited to continue to read this psychologically mature and nuanced take on Leia opening herself to a relationship with Han over the course of trip to Bespin. Onward has real mastery into both Han and Leia as well as in how human beings process complex emotions. Her writing style makes me think of the word âlyrical.â I canât say enough good things about this piece. Check it out and/or her excellent one-shots at AO3 or FF.net.Â
@lajulie24  - This Gunâs for Hire and Sampler (one shots), Epic Love (multi chapter TFA fix it)
I legitimately didnât know what of hers to recommend, because she has written so much and its so consistently great. So I chose these two just because I love Bruce Springsteen (can you guess which song This Gunâs for Hire is based on?) and because I selfishly got LaJulie to write Sampler for me. Both stories are just as good as everything else she writes, but honestly (like so many of these writers), you could put her stories on a dart board and read whatever you hit. It is also important to me to shout out Epic Love as it is a phenomenally on-point TFA fix-it that makes me angry Lajulieâs not writing for Disney.  Go read her stuff at AO3 or FF.net.
@organanation - Her Worshipâs Kaffe (one shot)
I am a sucker for Han and Leia drinking hot beverages and any and all headcanons that come with them, so this little one-shot has always been close to my heart although @organanation has written many more fluff pieces and multichapters (including a bit of Bail and Breha Organa!). Organanation is now sharing her talents with the Perry Mason fandom, but she will always be part of my Han/Leia experience. <3 AO3 or FF.net.
@madame-alexandraâs - Bloodstripes, Identity (multi-chapters)
I have been waiting years to read Bloodstripes. For a long time my excuse has been that it wasnât written yet. Now it has been, so itâs time for me to get reading! That being said: I loved every snippet of it that I read on tumblr, so Iâm very excited. I also may or may not remember a specific summer as the summer I spent counting minutes between Identity updates and ensuring I had special time to relish them when they hit. (Not that kind of special time, get your heads out of the gutter!)Â Check out these MCs as well as some wonderful one-shots at AO3 or FF.net.
@yoyomarules (aka spinninginfinity) - Gifts, Here Where Our Pieces Fall in Place
Gifts is only 1500 words but it made me LAUGH! And then SpinningInfinity, sly things, just slips in the sentiment in a way that is just⊠so effective and touching. Her work and all of its elements are great, but she has a real gift for dialogue and for always capturing the humor without shying away from the other feelings. Pieces is a tender and real NSFW moment between Han/Leia post his ROTJ rescue. On AO3 only.Â
@otterandterrier - Inventory of Han Solo Kisses (collection of one-shots), Homecoming (multi-chapter)
Anything by her, really, but I canât get enough of the Inventory series and am looking forward to catching up with her post-ROTJ multi-chapter. I especially admire @otterandterrierâs ability to make things feel ârealâ while still being (to me, at least) thrilling, romantic, and well-written. Check her out on AO3 or FF.net.Â
@chancecraz -Â Of Queens, Knights, and Pawns (Multi-chapter, time-travel TFA fix-it)
Another on my long-time to-read list, but every snippet Iâve ever read makes me feel all the feels. Even if TFA and time-travel fix-its donât seem like your thing, she has such a fantastic grasp of the characters that she reels you in. Canât wait to do a proper read. Chancecraz is on AO3 only.Â
GreyAthena - A Journey of A Thousand Miles Â
A lovely multi-chapter of Han and Leiaâs relationship spanning the trilogy. Chapter one is my favorite fic interpretation of the trip from the Death Star to Yavin ever. On AO3 only.
@gondalsqueen - En Route (One-shot, NSFW)
En Route is one of my favorite NSFW fics ever. It is trip-to-Bespin, Han/Leia, erotic but with so many feelings. Masterful. Gondalsqueen writes more Rebels fic than Han/Leia, but is a formidable talent. Check her out on AO3 only.
A good thingâąïž to see as I started a new project yesterday with the idea of finishing it, but not sold on posting it. Thanks!
pactole asked you:
Could you draw Star Wars Han x leia :3
Pffffft absolutely, excellent suggestion! Hoth Leia is best. Â
Never drawn anything like this beforeâŠnew things new things. Stretching my art muscles.
MONOCHROMATIC PALETTTTEEEE.
What a great vibe this has! Love Leiaâs smirk - wonder where she picked THAT up?
Amazing!

A conversation in the cockpit on the way to Bespin becomes a little more.
Can I interest you in a little something hot for this hot and steamy Sunday afternoon? This should check a lot of nice tropey boxes!
concept: han has to give a presentation at a briefing on Hoth but when he opens his documents he accidentally clicks on a powerpoint that is all in comic sans and is titled âwhy leia organa should date meâ and has a bunch of word art lists
