Sign Told Breastfeeding Moms To Cover Themselves, So They Literally Did

When the organizers of the Breastfeeding Mama Talk support group came across a sign telling moms to cover themselves while nursing, they had a brilliant response.

The group shared a photo of the sign on its Facebook page — along with two pictures of breastfeeding moms … well, covering themselves.

Breastfeeding Mama Talk invited other parents to share their own responses with the hashtag #ThisIsHowWeCoverBFMT. Their hilariously spot-on photos did not disappoint. From blankets to shirts to Darth Vader masks, these breastfeeding moms showed that they know how to “cover” in style.”

“We did not start the Black liberation movement, but we are honored to contribute…Our fight is grounded in the pursuit of dignity and sanctity of all Black lives…We are not the new Civil Rights Movement; however, we stand on the shoulders of giants who paved the way for Black dignity.”

- Opal Tometi, co-founder of #BlackLivesMatter

As seen on the For Harriet Facebook page

#honestly of all their interactions in tfa this was the part that made me choke up#because if you close your eyes this could be hoth (could be cloud city could be tatooine could be yavin could be the death star)#something about the way han extends this little bit of gentleness because he knows she’s aching#how summarily (and angrily) leia snaps her armor on and storms away#refusing to be soft; not allowed to be#because there’s a rebellion and oh—isn’t that the same line? the same damn refrain?#(everyone has their own opinion on whether breaking han and leia up was the Right Thing but I always come back to this#they lost a child. their child was effectively taken from them.#and in the wake of that they retreated to what has always been the most comfortable for them—for han#that’s smuggling and running and never letting anything touch you because you’re moving too fast#and for leia it’s armor and The Cause#so of course what they came apart; their relationship was built on growth that had been scorched and burned by ben#when I imagine han leaving (for good) I have to imagine it was that scene on hoth#where han made some big furious declaration about leaving and leia just looked at him coolly; didn’t stop him because—#han always comes back he’ll cool down and come back that’s how they work#but there’s no luke in the snow to keep him around this time#he just goes#and doesn’t come back)

white person: *does/says something racist*
person of color: that was racist. stop.
white person: BUT HOW IS THAT RACIST?
person of color: *gives an explanation. a long one, with citations and shit. or a short one. or doesn’t give it at all, because it’s not exactly their job to constantly lecture people.*
white person: …BUT HOW IS THAT RACIST?!

when someone talks to your parent/caregiver about how hard it must be to have an autistic child, and all you can think is that it’s not as hard as having an allistic parent

Story time:  Two days ago a woman ran into my local Starbucks, in tears, holding up a smartphone and saying, “Can someone please help me? My father is dying!”  One of the baristas was able to help her get a video chat working in time for her to say goodbye to her father while she could see his face, and he could see hers.  This technology, that people are constantly shitting on, that people keep saying is disconnecting us, made that possible.  I don’t know who she was, but I felt connected to her then.  I think we all did, everyone who was there.  I’m sad for her loss, and I’m also glad that the technology exists that let her see her dad one more time, even though she couldn’t physically go to him.

So if people could stop complaining about communication technology, which actually, surprise, facilitates communication, that would be great.

This Comedian Nails Why The Mental Illness + Creativity Connection is Ridiculous

I used to really worry that medications would harm my creativity and it’s part of why I resisted taking them. It hasn’t. If anything it’s allowed me to be more focused and able to complete things. My imagination hasn’t changed just because I’m on anti-depressants.

a lot of my family didnt want me to start medications because they thought it would impact my ability to create, and I believed them.

Now im getting better and better with my art because i dont have to fight through the brainfog or the constant panic attacks and can dedicate my energy to my work.

Antidepressents didnt take my emotions away, they made them easier to handle.

also Van Gogh was literally in an asylum receiving mental health treatment when he painted ‘Starry Night’.
It was one of the most stable & productive periods of his life, despite the fact that wasn’t hugely effective treatment, because they didn’t really have modern understandings of what things work on mental illness. Like, you know. Medication.

I wanted to share a few photos of my General Leia from C2E2 last weekend!

There were a ton of great Star Wars costumes and so many people complimented me on being one of the first General Leia’s they’d seen. It was a lot of fun responding to shouts of “GENERAL!!!” :)

I’m hoping to rework this so I can be approved by the Rebel Legion in the very near future. Thank you to everyone who complimented the General!

Ohhhh well done!

HERE COMES THE GENERAL

…So instead of just bedding and satisfying a thunderstorm, this time I’m marrying one. Could be worse - a while back, I had a picture of a kingfisher, which is even more awkward to explain to a judge.

Argel Tal and Cyrene….

Well, that’d be swell. My PC desktops are always the same (i.e. Emps), but my phone I regularly swap with my mood. Right now that means I’d be married to NotGreg!Robert Patrick. I don’t mind this at all.

This is my Phone Background. I have no problem with this.

I’m marrying a soft grunge fleur-de-lis from Florence.

I don’t know what to make of that.

Well, mine’s the CItadel, from Mass Effect. So, like. Am I marrying EVERYONE on it?

I… I think I’ll take the cheap out and say I’m officiating a bunch of weddings there!

Woo! Poly marriage with Pan-Pan, Grizz and Ice Bear!

…that’s a lotta robots.

huh

Stephanie Beatriz’s favorite Brooklyn Nine Nine moment was when the show got the back-nine order.

Rick Scott: *gets yelled at in a coffee shop for being a bad governor*
Rick Scott: *uses money given to his PAC and his power as governor of the state of Florida to release an official minute-long attack add against the random woman who yelled at him*
Rick Scott: this was an appropriate response :)
