RIP. She did a lot to change the public face of sex education and the ability to discuss sex in a real, human way. I’m glad she had love and support in her final moments.

RIP. She was so super chill

R.I.P. Queen. What a damn life she led. And I just found out about Richard Simmons. 😫😭

"At 16, she immigrated to the region then known as Mandatory Palestine, where she worked on a kibbutz and eventually joined Zionist paramilitary organization Haganah, where she was trained as a scout and a sniper."

I wonder if she maintained those beliefs or they evolved. I certainly don't believe the shit I believed at sixteen now.

I wonder if she evolved past the people she shot

I'm not cynical enough to believe that people cannot change and cannot atone for the awful things they may have done but it appears that she didn't change at all so, fuck her.

She played herself in one of the oddest Quantum Leap (original) episodes, it was called Dr. Ruth. Well, they're all odd if you think about it.
