OH HEY

So my name’s Megan, and I’m super happy to be back on booklr! I’ve chosen to celebrate by doing a giveaway my way. You’re probably looking at those images and thinking, “What the hell is that noise?”

Allow me to explain the way that you could win this business:

THERE WILL BE THREE WINNERS!

1st place will get to pick a paperback book or graphic novel of their choice when they win, as well as one of my “big prizes”. The big prizes are the ones that are under the word “big”. SO, ONE BOOK + ONE BIG PRIZE

2nd place will get to pick their choice of one of the big prizes which, again, is one of the three under the word “big”. SO ONE BIG PRIZE

3rd place will get to pick their choice of one of the small prizes which is under the word “small”. SO ONE SMALL PRIZE

Does everyone get that? Keep rereading the paragraph if you don’t. Just let it soak in for a sec.

In case it’s confusing or you can’t tell what some of those are, let me clear that up:

First place gets to choose any paperback book or graphic novel. If you can’t pick one, you’re more than welcome to ask me for suggestions based off of your preferred genre! I’d be happy to help!

The big prizes up there are: A catwoman and batman coffin jewelry box, a pride and prejudice jane austen mug, and a pop! vinyl of Max from Where the Wild Things Are

The small prizes are: Macaron bookmarks, a sorting hat on canvas print, and a belle’s book cafe sticker.

Okay, other rules time:

1) Apparently the rule of booklr is that you have to follow me to win. Which like, okay, but if you decide you don’t like me and it’s like pulling teeth to see me on your dash, just unfollow me lol. I don’t want to force people into it. Butttttt you won’t be able to win the prize. So…just make your own decision, man.

2) You can LIKE and/or REBLOG this post—that’s how you’re going to put your name in to win. You can reblog more than once, but I think it goes without saying that you probably shouldn’t clog your friends’ dash. (did I use that right? friend’s. friends’.)

3) You’ve gotta do this stuff before the cut off date, which will be OCTOBER 1ST. Because seriously, everyone knows October is the coolest month ever.

4) Here’s the part I hope you’re still reading (which if you are way to go champ). If you win this and you get first or second place and you decide you want one of the small prizes instead of one of the big ones, that’s totally okay! Just let me know when you win (:

5) I’ll be choosing the winners at random with my own concoction of math and luck.

6) ….am I forgetting anything?….OH okay so if you win, I’ll make a post announcing the winners, and then I’ll message those people. I’ll give it three days, and if they do not respond, I will pick a different winner.

7) OH YEAH INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS A THING BECAUSE I LOVE YOU ALL REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU LIVE DOWN THE STREET OR IN ANTARCTICA

8) OH and also you’ve gotta be okay with me getting your address and whatnot. I won’t be able to send you the stuff and things if you don’t!

Okay, I really hope I didn’t forget anything! If you have any other questions please feel free to hop into my ask box and drop me a line. I’m not mean and I’m not scary.

Women should NOT be forced to feed their babies in a bathroom, all because we live in a misogynistic, porn-warped society that’s been brainwashed to believe that female breasts used for anything other than male pleasure is “indecent”. Support public breast feeding and end the porn culture.

[littlezombiekid-blog]

Forever reblog

[the-anti-fandom]

No. I’m eating. I don’t wanna see you hang out your goddamn tits while I have food. My kids don’t wanna see it. It’s not some misogynistic ideal, it’s fucking public indecency. Can I take my cock out under the table and feed my wife/girlfriend? No? Fuck you

[elliegalaxies]

i genuinely cannot believe that you just compared a blowjob to breastfeeding oh my fucking god 

getting a blowjob is a sexual thing and it also does not ‘feed’ anyone whereas breastfeeding is literally not even a sexual thing a baby is having food that they need to live like it’s nowhere near on the same level as getting a blowjob omg

if you are uncomfortable seeing a woman breastfeeding then that is your problem because you have oversexualised breasts so much that you can’t even stand seeing them being used for their actual purpose and also you’re an idiot

go eat your dinner in a public bathroom, you trash bag

[patrickat]

End skeevy dudes who compare whipping out their dick in public to breast feeding 2k15

DO YOU FEED YOUR CHILDREN SEMEN? SHOVE A TRASH CAN UP YOUR ASS

Pediatric anthropology student, here.

1.) Breasts as sexual fetishes is a (largely Western) cultural construction. Yes, it’s a fetish – anything you are sexually attracted to that is not the genitals of an adult is a fetish, or paraphilia. My professors have met non-Westerners who think our men are “like babies” because they are attracted to breasts.

Breasts ≠ genitals. Scientifically, they are considered secondary sexual characteristics – same category as facial hair. They can be sexual in a sexual context, just as necks and feet can be. But their primary purpose is reproductive.

2.) Breastmilk is not a “bodily fluid.” It is FOOD.

It is not categorized by the CDC as a biohazard, and so no you don’t need to freak out if your coworker wants to store her milk right next to your Lunchables.

MOREOVER,

Breastmilk is not just protein and vitamins. It is a living, dynamic substance that BUILDS HUMANS.

It has hundreds of ingredients (<— actually that list needs to be updated because they’ve discovered more already). There is a lab at the University of Washington St. Louis, where they have written all of the ingredients of human milk on the wall – They have run out of room on that wall. Among those ingredients:

The exact ratio of protein-sugars-fats that human infants need (cow’s milk doesn’t even come close)

Antibodies to pathogens in the baby’s environment (synthesized by the mother within hours of coming into contact with a given pathogen) and other immune factors

Stem cells. FUCKING STEM CELLS. (They used glow-in-the-dark mice to find out what they do!)

Hormones (support growth and regulate behavior)

peptides

Self-digesting fats (what the whaaat)

Growth factors

water, vitamins, minerals, carbs, etc.

prolly other awesome shit we don’t even know about yet because we’ve barely scratched the surface of this research!

These ingredients change hour-to-hour according to the baby’s needs. It will even add more water on hot/dry days. Fuck, breastmilk kills cancer in a petri dish. Breastmilk. is. not. a. bodily. fluid. It. is. liquid. gold. 3.) When you tell a woman to go to the bathroom to breastfeed, you are perpetuating the notion that it is dirty and shameful and needs to be hidden away. This idea is the biggest barrier to achieving breastfeeding goals in the United States. Because women feel ashamed, they often stay isolated at home when they should be spending time out and about with friends and family and having, like, a life. This isolation can contribute to postpartum depression. From the Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding: Women may find themselves excluded from social interactions when they are breastfeeding because others are reluctant to be in the same room while they breastfeed. For many women, the feeling of embarrassment restricts their activities and is cited as a reason for choosing to feed supplementary formula or to give up breastfeeding altogether. And since we have this culture of shame and privacy surrounding breastfeeding, young girls and women don’t see it enough to learn what is normal/not and how to do it, so they often give up when they run into problems because they don’t realize there’s an easy fix. Moreover, an infant needs to be integrated into society in order to develop properly. He/she needs to see faces and hear voices. Isolating them – or throwing a blanket over their head – takes this important component of their development away. It also often annoys them because they are understimulated. 4.) YOU NEED TO SEE IT. That’s right, YOU. Even if you are a dude. Maybe you aren’t a parent, but you probably have loved ones who are. Or you might become one yourself someday. And if you are American chances are you have no idea how breastfeeding actually works, because you never fucking see it. It’s messy and complicated, and hard. It used to be a part of everyday life, because there weren’t any alternatives – So we learned how to do it by being around it all the time, NBD. The whole sexualization/modesty thing surrounding breasts wasn’t a thing until like the mid-20th century. Check out this 1871 drawing of a woman breastfeeding IN FUCKING CHURCH:

She’s covered head to toe, in accordance with modesty standards of the time – except for her breast, about which the people around her give zero fucks. More from the Surgeon General: In American culture, breasts have often been regarded primarily as sexual objects, while their nurturing function has been downplayed. Although focusing on the sexuality of female breasts is common in the mass media, visual images of breastfeeding are rare, and a mother may never have seen a woman breastfeeding. Mothers need to see it. Future mothers need to see it. Future fathers need to see it. Family members need to see it. Everybody needs to see it. SO THEY FUCKING GET USED TO IT. So, no, I’m not gonna go to the bathroom to feed my kid. If you don’t want to see it, then DON’T. FUCKING. LOOK.
