Dear Ms. Fisher

This is an open letter to Ms. Carrie Fisher, public figure, geek icon, human being and woman. This is also an open letter to the geek community I am proud to be a part of.

I am a human, a woman, a geek, and a brain encased in a fleshy form meant to carry about my personality. I may have been hot once. I am making babies and also have skipped my three hours of yoga. I have value. I am more valuable than some internet scumbag who judges a person’s value on the bases of what they look like.

I have value, and Ms. Fisher, I think that you are beautiful.

Here is what I look like, circa a month ago. I am seven months pregnant in the photo, over weight, and full of value far beyond how I look.

Me, Pregnant, For Real
