She keeps popping up in the news for great reasons.

Didn't she rent out like half of Venice Palermo for a wedding or something, leading to severe criticism from the locals

It was Palermo, apparently, but yes - there were complaints because of some road closures.

Venice was Bezos.

I feel like if a town is able to be rented out despite local opposition, it is more a sign that the people complaining about the closures need to get more involved in local politics.

This is Sicily we’re talking about - local politics is pretty dicey.

I heard they have nice offers, though. Like, too good to pass.

You're correct, I'll edit it! And ofc Bezos is a complete and irredeemable bastard

I hadn't heard about that but yes, you're right. I think that kind of thing is vulgar.

She has stood up for vulnerable people many times, too. Most artists look the other way and count their money.

At first I thought “Bad Feminist Roxane Gay” were four discrete adjectives, and Roxane was a sex work thing.
