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.
DeleteShe can live where she wants, but for entirely selfish reasons, I'd rather she bring the fight against Trump home.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved her brash ways. We need more mouthy women. And, I love that she lives rent-free in that monster's head. Maybe she'll be the indirect cause of a stroke...
