I Begin To Question Fucking Plan

Controversial Facebook Photos of the Day: Air National Guard members Terran Echegoyen-McCabe and Christina Luna recently posted to Facebook several pics of themselves breastfeeding in fatigues — which they do all the time on Fairchild Airforce Base in Spokane, Washington – and their photos have prompted outcry from around the world.

No matter that there are no rules in military conduct against breastfeeding in uniform; one disparaging Facebook comment compared the images to “urinating and defecating.”

Fellow soldier Rita Trujillo commented: 

“I as one of many women who fought long and hard to be accepted and respected as fellow soldiers and the right to wear these uniforms feel shocked, angry at these published photos.”

The photos were taken for the Mom2Mom Breastfeeding Support Group,which raises awareness of women’s right to breastfeed in public.

America hates mothers in a way that is so insipid, you have WOMEN disparaging other WOMEN for doing what the breast was intended to do and being active engaged mothers.

And why?

Because “I as one of many women who fought long and hard to be accepted and respected as fellow soldiers and the right to wear these uniforms feel shocked, angry at these published photos.”

This is a statement made by a woman about how women feeding their children in their work fatigues damages her status and acceptance as a female soldier. Meaning motherhood is seen as something “weak” and breastfeeding is “dirty”.

Patriarchy is a hell of a drug.

Internalized sexism is a sad thing.

My mother went to law school at a time when women made up about 10% of all law students; she studied hard and she worked her ass off and she got hired at a law firm here in town.

But along with being a lawyer she was also a mother.

And there was a woman, one of her partners at the firm, who saw herself as better than my mother because my mother had children. She thought being a mother made you weak.

Not only did she think my mother couldn’t do her job but she also thought she was a bad mother. In her small mind she thought a woman couldn’t possibly be a good mother AND have a successful career.

However, that is a bunch of bullshit.

I would like to proudly say that my mother, years later, works for a good university and is still great at what she does. I would also like to say that she is the greatest mother I could have ever hoped for. She is also the most inspirational woman I have ever known, and I thank her every day for being such a wonderful example to me and my brothers.

I always have a hard time wrapping my head around WHY people have such a problem with breastfeeding in public.

You know what I like to see? People taking care of their children.

You know what I don’t like to see? When taking care of ones children is painted as a shameful act.

Guess It’s time to continue reading that book about that guy who wants a seven year old girl with cool witchy powers.

He refers to her as the ‘daughter of his soul’.

The fact that he thinks of her as his daughter apparently doesn’t stop him from wanting to simultaneously bang her and suck her blood though.

thelizzlebee replied to your post: I marathoned the first season of Suits today.

AH! I love Suits, yaaay now we can fangirl about Mike’s puppy love for Harvey!

PSH it is NOT one sided.

Harvey likes to act like an emotionless bastard but he consistently drops that facade if Mike is involved. He defends Mike. He trusts him. He smiles (however reluctantly) at all his little wisecracks.

BROs to the max.

Gina Torres.

And I am really liking it.

My love of it is equal parts: 

• Jessica and Donna being total HBICs
• Mike and Harvey’s bromance.
• The really attractive men in really attractive — you guessed it — suits.
• Mike and Rachel’s obvious desire to rip each other’s clothes off.

Especially as a kid.

Because at that age it hasn’t quite dawned on you that games actually have an end. To you the game has an almost magical quality, as if it were created through sheer will and imagination, as if it’s an actual universe that is constantly growing and changing and full of infinite possibility.

And even though you get a similar feeling when you’re older and you find a brand new game, you understand by then that this is a thing made by actual people and it has a beginning and an end, and it is limited.

And then the more you play a game, the smaller it begins to feel. But you keep playing it, desperately searching for just a sliver of that sense of discovery and wonder.

And maybe you find it

Once in a while even an old game can surprise you.

But eventually it fades all the same and becomes just another thing that will never surprise you again.

It wouldn’t work at restaurants and stuff but I figured the magnetic strip had been messed up and it just wasn’t reading properly.

But I just got an Email saying my card was denied online. Meaning the card itself, and not just the strip, isn’t working.

It also means I can’t use it for my SWOTOR subscriptions.
