What is even happening?

Barbara said on The View that a woman breastfeeding on a plane next to her made her "uncomfortable". I wonder how uncomfortable Babs would be if she had a hungry, squalling infant in her face for the whole flight.

Right. I'd rather sit next to a nursing infant than a miserable infant, any day of the week. What complete asshattery.

Where the heck was the woman supposed to feed her baby—in an airplane bathroom?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Not that I agree, but I am sure Barbara would think: the bathroom, or pump and bottle feed in public.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

It's a time-honored tradition!! (Remember, sweetie, I did the same thing. You'll be fine! Whee!)

I am sorry that the job fell through, though

What Juliana said, Emily, especially the you'll be fine and the sorry the job didn't work out.

I actually did the same thing, many many years ago, from DC to SF, and that worked out okay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The airplane bathroom? I don't see how that's practical, not to mention not unpleasant.

Some people shouldn't wear Hawaiian shirts.

Creepy + security guard = extra creepy.

Are these two statements connected?

No, but my mind is going unpleasant places trying to link them.

I don't think "uncomfortable" is all that damning a word. I'd be uncomfortable in that situation. Doesn't mean I'd think the mother was wrong to nurse. Or that I'd be more comfortable next to a crying baby.

Oh good, not just me then.

I probably would be a little uncomfortable as well, Strega, but I don't think I would say so as a (formerly?) reputable journalist on a national broadcast. My comfort level just isn't that important in the big picture.

The View crew also practically threw a party when Elizabeth what's her face switched to formula, giving off a strong, "about time, girl!" vibe. (No matter how many good reasons there are for making that switch for any given family, I still think that it's a weird sort of thing to celebrate.)

A telephone, a red balloon. A picture of the cow jumping over the moon. Three little bears sitting on chairs. Two kittens, a pair of mittens. A toy house and a young mouse. A comb, a brush, a bowl full of mush. A quiet old lady who whispers hush. Clocks and socks.

HAHAHA! Yeah. I could type the whole thing, too.

Goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises EVERYWHERE, beeyotch.
