ReplyDeleteI didn’t watch her show much, but I know she was hugely influential. And she gets under Mango Mussolini’s skin, so points.
XOXO
😬 I got into a bit of a blog argument last week about Rosie "running away" to Ireland when the US needs all of us. She is on record saying she'll return when the US becomes a better place and that's not a great thing to say. But, she's been one of our change agents for years and has been targeted for it for years by horrible people. I have no right to tell anyone how much they should put up with before they get a break. She's raising a 12 y.o. nonbinary child who is on the autism spectrum, has a severe eating disorder (AFRID), and uses they/them pronouns...making them an easy target for the same assholes who targeted their Mom! When her child is older, I hope Rosie brings them back to the States. Until then, I'm gonna cut her some slack! ☺️
ReplyDelete@ Cleora Borealis -- I would cut her some slack too. She's more than paid her dues in the past already.
