Honoring Carrie Fisher, Raising Mental Health Awareness
Carrie Fisher was an amazing woman: complicated and brash, outspoken and compassionate. She spoke out about mental health, mental illness, and normalizing its treatment. She lived out loud and helped others be less afraid. Losing her in the world was a blow - not just because I value her acting, value Princess then General Leia in Star Wars - but for all that she was.
There was such an outpouring of love and grief at her death, and her eulogy was written in thousands of anecdotes and farewells and spreading of her best moments across the Internet - including quotes and arguments against sexism, for mental health, delivered with a barbed and humorous tongue.
From one of her many conversations about bipolar disorder, I came across the following: “Now get out there and show me and you what you can do.” I’d been wanting to honor her with my January design, and there it was - her words which I could render graphical - and honor her and raise awareness for mental health both.
This is that design.
The words are in the color combination of a certain brand name of fluoxetine, warped into a capsule shape. I have made a number of products featuring this design available to you at my Zazzle shop, What Duck?, and my Redbubble shop.
You can pick up this design on the following items:
A large refrigerator magnet.
A standard-sized button.
A really lovely tote bag or a different tote or a drawstring bag.
A profusion of shirt types and a hoodie.
A great throw pillow.
Both mugs and travel mugs.
A selection of notebooks.
A series of wall art.
If you’d like anything else, I take requests - so hit the comments.
P.S. If you were a member of my Patreon, you could have received a Limited Edition Postcard of this design as a perk!
