This l’il lactivist hat tickles me!

June 4, 2010

In the interest of transparency – I stumbled across this Etsy store and until I asked knitschmidt if it was OK to share her hat here she had no idea I even existed! *laughing* I have received no compensation (except permission to use the image from her Etsy store). I was puttering around in Etsy [...]

Logical Fallacies and Justification

May 28, 2010

Things that make you go “HUH?!” Some of the comments that have been left on “They should feel guilty for not breastfeeding!” are making me wonder what is going on inside some people’s heads.

Facebook Hypocrisy – Reflections of a Culture

November 12, 2009

A lot has been said about Facebook’s hypocrisy regarding the way they treat breastfeeding images and other images of partially or fully exposed breasts. You’d have to be living under a rock to not know about this if you are a part of the online breastfeeding community. That topic has been really well covered by [...]

November 10, 2009

Boycotting Nestlé – It should be easy right?

Cropped Nestlé-Free Zone image of bird leaving nest October 28, 2009
