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.

It is good to know that Gary is on the job.

So proud of Carrie Fisher and so proud of Gary for being such a good service dog and helping her be able to do the things she wants to do in her life ❤
