During the first season or two of Roseanne, Roseanne Barr was treated horribly by the producers, who wanted to get rid of her, even though she was the creative genius behind the show, which was based entirely on characters she had developed. She went with “success is the best revenge,” working extra hard to make sure the show hit the #1 spot, knowing at that point she could seize creative control. She hung out with the crew and supportive castmembers (including John Goodman, who flat refused to do the show without her), and put a list on her door. That list had the name of every single person who worked on the show. When they pissed her off, she’d cross off their name in red. Everyone in red was to be fired the second she was in charge. She took this policy from Machiavelli, and she made good on it. Her first move was to fire everyone who had tried to shut her down. She also promoted a number of women writers and fired a number of men writers for being sexist. So, this shirt is no lie.

She also stuck up for the younger actresses on the show. When Alicia Goranson (who played Becky) wanted to cut her hair, the producers flat out refused to let her do it. When she heard about how upset Alicia was, Roseanne took a pair of scissors and cut a chunk of hair off Alicia’s head and told her “there! Now they have to let you do it!”

She sounds so cool I grew up in the era (90s) that really hated her for some reason so I grew up thinking she was awful. I love learning that all the women I was told to hate when I was younger were hated because they spoke up.

The importance of consent: a narrative.

I will forever reblog this gifset.

She pours hot liquid on her own leg she’s that badass.
