chicken breast with baby bottle nipple
So, about the breastfeeding icon kerfuffle — you’ve heard, right? Here, get up to speed — I’m probably not going to bother participating in the mass pseudo-deletion of accounts. I’m certainly not going to be going back to Paid Account status (mine lapsed a few weeks back). And I’ve already downloaded a copy of Textpattern with a view towards getting my old blog up and running again, ’cause who the hell needs all this crazy we’re a community no we’re a business bullshit?

Meantime, I worked up a protest icon of sorts, but I don’t think it really hits the spot, what with that being a baby bottle nipple, and with the tension about breast- vs bottle-feeding being part of the driving force behind the kerfuffle. So I won’t be using it. But anyone else wants it, go ahead.

Oh, yeah, totally, breast vs. bottle and all that implies. Way to start a flame war. [livejournal.com profile] hardvice, who started all this, must be feeling mighty, mighty smug if he read any of that.

There are no heroes here. LJ Abuse comes off badly, as it often does, the breastfeeding people come off as unreasonable gits, and the pseudo-deletion is an even stupider form of protest than not buying gas one day to protest high gas prices. I feel marginally stupider for having read up on the matter.
