    When I think about the amount of gumption that I have to muster to stand up to groups of pigheaded guys (and some women) at bars, at parties, and at work when confronted with views that are openly or tacitly hostile to women, I am struck dumb by women like Ms. Rossi.

    Imagine the courage and determination she must've had to face up to an establishment that so plainly dictated the worth and rightful "place" of women in our society. To go in against the prevalent cultural mileau and make huge, bold strides towards true equality is inspiring beyond words. Her accomplishments should leave all of us not only grateful but breathless. No less than a true hero. #alicesrossi

    What's with the sudden rise in deaths of social science people? Not on, universe, not on.

    Thank you, Ms. Rossi, for everything. #alicesrossi

    R.I.P.
    To the outward, glorious Skies;
    So th' immortal Spirit may,
    When descended to our Clay,
    From a rightly govern'd Frame
    View the Height, from whence she came;
    To her Paradise be caught,
    And things unutterable taught.
    Give me then, in that Retreat,
    Give me, O indulgent Fate!
    For all Pleasures left behind,
    Contemplations of the Mind.
    Let the Fair, the Gay, the Vain
    Courtship and Applause obtain;
    Let th' Ambitious rule the Earth;
    Let the giddy Fool have Mirth;
    Give the Epicure his Dish,
    Ev'ry one their sev'ral Wish;
    Whilst my Transports I employ
    On that more extensive Joy,
    When all Heaven shall be survey'd
    From those Windings and that Shade.
    Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea,
    from THE PETITION FOR AN ABSOLUTE RETREAT

    Knowing it turned out be her last birthday, the clip of her in the pool saying that her 10th birthday was the best day of her life is heartbreaking. But it also made me smile, knowing that she had a lot of good experiences and was happy in her short life. #shilohpepinmermaidgirl

    Love her. At the end of the clip, there's something so very "Masterpiece Theatre" about her sitting in that inflatable chair with tented fingers dispensing her wisdom. It's fantastic. #shilohpepinmermaidgirl

    When I was 10 I could barely mumble a sentence together. She certainly seemed wise and intelligent beyond her years. #shilohpepinmermaidgirl

    Oh man. When she was pointing out her socks, and then leaned back and said how it made a rainbow, my heart broke.

    What a sweet little girl. There's a lot to learn from her attitude. #shilohpepinmermaidgirl

    @Bunsen Honeydew: See, I wouldn't characterize that girl as sweet at all, and that's what I loved about her. She was full of sass and spitfire, and, as we saw on Oprah, she was nobody's little princess. I find her ability to live her life on her terms to be the most inspirational part. #shilohpepinmermaidgirl

    @ccchild: I didn't mean I saw her as some sort of "sugar and spice and everything nice" deal, I just saw her joy and zest for life as a very sweet, touching thing. Similar idea, different intended meaning behind the words.

    It's strange how sad I feel--I didn't know her, had only seen her on television a few times. But she seemed so smart, so happy, so sassy--I can't believe she's gone. #shilohpepin
