She was a kick-ass Terminator, too.

rubyinsd.bsky.social•51 days ago

I love her so much!

sydfish.bsky.social•50 days ago

She really is.

She has gotten me through some really hard times!

xanderkale.bsky.social•51 days ago

As a fellow Scot in the US, this part spoke to me. It really is an adjustment haha

smc50118.bsky.social•51 days ago

I concur.

I think it was selfish when she moved her family to that old house in Connecticut and ignored her daughter's insistence that ghosts resided in the attic while redecorating in an aggressively avant garde style alongside her designer, Otho.

She is... And now I'd love for Garbage to do a cover of Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club, please and thank you

My absolute hero and role model. Loved her ever since she stomped around the stage of TFI Friday in a tight blue dress and Doc Martens singing ‘Stupid Girl’

Well, id love to read that, but that is completely unreadable advertising format. It breaks the whole.fucking page.

mdye.me•51 days ago

And she sounds absolutely amazing. Time has stopped inside her voice box.

scollon.social•51 days ago

She actually is. They don't come much cooler than she.

Always has been...

Thank you for sharing this! I've loved her since 1995!!

thisbrokenwheel.bsky.social•51 days ago

I am very, very sad we are never going to get to hear her solo album.

novapsyche444.bsky.social•51 days ago

I was intrigued by the Baphomet pose.

ultramarr.bsky.social•51 days ago

She’s so boss. And still fantastic live. Can’t wait for the new album 💜

Goddess

editer.bsky.social•50 days ago

I'm a fan. Glad she's doing OK.

subterrene.bsky.social•51 days ago

Looking forward to seeing her and Garbage at Cruel World in May!

feelthemagic.bsky.social•51 days ago

I saw Garbage in concert, one of the best shows I ever experienced.

One of my favorite songs ever.
Shirley is a goddess

Please read this important essay when you get the time. We all need this understanding.

Hey Scalzi. You're books are fun and you're politics are awesome. I like you

branmanthebuilder.bsky.social•51 days ago

I was like 7 when she was at the peak of her popularity.

She still looks the same.

I don't.

This is a travesty.

tsancio.bsky.social•51 days ago

30 years ago, a MTV VJ (youngsters, look it up) said jokingly before presenting Stupid Girl “if you call yourself Garbage, you’re gonna end up garbage”. I still remember that as being an off-the-cuff remark that has a solid premise.

djtahoe.bsky.social•51 days ago

I saw Garbage open for Tears For Fears and couple years back. Great show!

swirlosquirrel.bsky.social•51 days ago

She is indeed.

scottbranchfie.bsky.social•51 days ago

I love Shirley!
