Ok. Bitches, enough with the health trama and the bad days! Everyone to our house for taquitos, rice, drinks, ice cream cake and whatever else your little hearts desire. Except for Kristin. She gets soup and gentle hugs.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Um, did everyone except me know that there's a whole hullaballoo going on about LJ suspending users who have breastfeeding icons as their default? The fuck?

Thanks for the advice, Beverly. It's really more for me than for her at this point; I am driving myself a little crazy and I feel like I need to just do something. That probably makes no sense.
ION, I just woke up from a nap. I really overslept, the kitchen is a mess, and there is no way that dinner is going to be ready in 11 minutes.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm eating a vanilla cupcake with pink icing and white sprinkles. It's cute and yummy and matches my outfit! What more could a girl ask for?

I knew. It's spread everywhere, blogs not LJ based, websites complaining, men with icons showing pictures of their naked nipples and saying it's LJ approved.
According to LJ, the TOS was that no indecent or offensive pictures be used; they added to the FAQ that meant excessively sexual pictures used as default. The current rule has been clarifed to say that no nipple or areolae can be visible. So then it turned into a thing where LJ was discriminating against women who have larger nipples than others (and so possibly a racial issue). It's "only" default pictures. Another bone of contention.
Also, it all started because a guy who was warned for bad behavior spammed LJ abuse with complaints of about 30 women who had those icons in order to stir up this storm. Seems he targeted them specifically because he expected them to be all warriors in arms about it. There have been a number of women suspended since it all started.
I can find links if anyone's interested.

Man, what an asshole. Please say he's since been suspended himself, please? Even if it's more truthy than actually true?

Now, I know I'm not a mother or anything, but how in hell can a picture of feeding a child be considered sexual? And no nipple? I assume that means no icons of paintings or sculptures too?
That is whole heap of grey area they are playing with there.

Women who have default icons of art, including one of Mary feeding Jesus have been banned. LJ says the icons are fine as long as they're not the default.
Again with the edits.
Supposedly the guy who started it did it as a joke, closed out his complaints, but another community [link] heard about it and took up the torch, so to speak.
