LJ wants to ban default breastfeeding pics
"Xavier" wrote in message ... Thanks for posting this update for me Melissa. Somehow I've ended up spearheading this entire thing and I'm weary. I would imagine you would be, but your work is much appreciated. Sorry my post was so riddled with typos (like I said NAK isn't as easy as it used to be Connor now wants to be involved with the keyboard). Anyway thanks again!

Melissa Walton Mom to Connor born 05/24/05 Girl I can't imagine to tell you how tiring, and *rewarding* this is all at the same time. It's crazy and sad and wonderful and all those things that I love about breastfeeding advocacy. Carrie |

I'm still working directly with SixApart to get the issue resolved before it becomes a huge media event. Although I do have everything ready in case we need to go that route too (*wink*) I'll try to keep you all updated here as well. I'm also updating my personal journal as I go along http://xavi7734.livejournal.com Thank you! -- C, mama to three year old nursling |

She's waiting to hear what the official SixApart word is before she does anything though. Andrea http://taniwha-grrrl.livejournal.com/profile |

There's a lot of ongoing discussion on http://community.livejournal.com/boo...s/1737571.html Promom has a three-minute activist letter, to be sent to the company which owns LJ: http://www.promom.org/3min/3min_livejournal_may06.html Thanks for letting us know. This has certainly lowered my opinion of Live Journal staff. I submitted the letter and added the following: "If this situation wasn't so sad, I would find the absurdity of it hilarious. Who, exactly, are these images inappropriate for viewing by? Children? My 22 month old views my breasts twice a day. Thankfully, she doesn't share your bizarre hang ups. It may have escaped you, but breasts exist primarily for feeding human young, and secondarily as a sensual body part. In much the same way, feet are designed for walking - but that doesn't stop the foot-fetishists. Are you going to ban photos of feet too?" Good point. I have a BIG thing for bald heads. hmmm perhaps they should be considered as well. Jo |

Who are you on there? I can never figure out who from USENET is who from eljay. Oscarmama. :-) I've been trying to work out who that was :-). I knew it was someone from MKB but the name was escaping me. Jean -- LeinsterFreecycle Co-moderator http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LeinsterFreecycle/ DD June '02 DS May '05 |

What about ears? After 7+ years of breastfeeding, my ears are a hell of
a lot more like erogenous sex objects than my poor baby-chewed boobies. Will ears be next? Jenrose |
