Live Journal has deemed that they will no longer allow breastfeeding icons to be displayed as users' default icons because they are 'obscene' and 'may be viewed by a wider audience.' Help us let Live Journal know that this policy is not acceptable ( Read more... )

are they freakin serious??

Yep... now they're saying that they've changed their terms of service to exclude nudity from default icons and they've defined that to mean no nipple or areola can be showing. Um... that's not fair to breastfeeding mothers who happen to have large areolae. Does that make their photos somehow less right than the ones of moms who have small areola that are completely covered by the baby's mouth? It's just wrong. Hmph.

I'm sure Jen will too once she gets up from her nap.

Hi there! I'm in some of the same LJ communities that you are and I also found your journal through a search of our mutual high school, Davidson in Mobile, AL.

Because we have similar interests and I love your writing style, (with your permission) I'm going to friend you...I don't update as often as I would like, but let me know if you object.

P.S. (on-topic) I sent the email you linked to. Thanks for posting the link!

Sure! Your icon rocks.

I felt an instant connection when I read this in your profile:

I like to read anything, from novels to cereal boxes.

I will read anything! I cannot imagine living in a house without books, A sure way to torture me is to put me in a setting with nothing to read. :-)
