  1. I was perplexed and more than a little pissed when a couple of apparent MRAs mouthed off over author Gwenda Bond’s tweet:

    “So rare for a woman in Hollywood to get to be an icon at different ages. Bereft we will not get to witness grand dame-era Carrie Fisher.” [https://twitter.com/Gwenda/status/813814375303802880]

    Their comments started with “don’t make her death about the feminist agenda” and went south of there. She blocked them and I briefly engaged (“It was part of #CarrieFisher, it’s part of Gwenda, it’s part of any rational person.”) before doing the same. I was astonished something so slight prompted their responses.

    1. Man, isn’t there some black stormtrooper for these people to complain about or something? (See? Throwing shade in an intersectional way.)

      Anyway, I wish I had HBO to see the documentary about the two of them. (I also want Turner Classic Movies to have a Debbie Reynolds marathon, though I haven’t seen anything of that nature in their scheduling.)
