Heh! I’m not on a posting hiatus anymore…

July 4, 2011

Comments are another story! I’ve been puttering about in the backroom here at the blog today. Just a bit here and there upgrading and tweaking – and nuking the background and some of the post formatting and… *Ahem* As I was poking around and reviewing the comments (some of which are STILL making me too [...]

Why bovine breastfeeding comparisons leave me cold

June 21, 2010

Breastfeeding Mom = Cow It’s pretty difficult for me to find the compliment when a breastfeeding mom is compared to an animal that is mostly invoked to tell people they are stupid, fat, slow, smelly, ugly or lazy. Sure, everyone loves some milk, a little cheese, that great ice cream or their frappuccino-cappuccino-lattes but the [...]

December 9, 2009

A couple of days ago I watched the tail-end of a Twitter dust-up between a young man and some lactivists that I follow regarding breastfeeding in public (hereafter known as NIP). The tweets got so tense I responded viscerally just from watching the exchange (you know those tight-in-the-chest, tingly arm, itchy finger, head-in-a-vice-ready-to-explode, Oh-no-you-didn’t-just-say!! feelings).  [...]
