📽️ Watched Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
Wasn’t sure how I would like it, given the responses I’d seen. I decided going into it that I would have fun. For the first 30 minutes or so, I thought, “Uh oh, am I NOT going to have fun?” Then things picked up and I DID have fun, but I also teared up because Carrie Fisher, because speeches about hope and working together and not being alone, because fan service services me, a fan.
Carrie Fisher is gone. But “what she stood for, what she fought for… that’s not gone.” 🎥

I acknowledge that I live and work on unceded Lumbee, Skaruhreh/Tuscarora, and Shakori land. I give respect and reverence to those who came before me. I thank Holisticism for the text of this land acknowledgement.
We must acknowledge that much of what we know of this country today, including its culture, economic growth, and development throughout history and across time, has been made possible by the labor of enslaved Africans and their ascendants who suffered the horror of the transatlantic trafficking of their people, chattel slavery, and Jim Crow. We are indebted to their labor and their sacrifice, and we must acknowledge the tremors of that violence throughout the generations and the resulting impact that can still be felt and witnessed today. I thank Dr. Terah ‘TJ’ Stewart for the text of this labor acknowledgement.
