Some people shouldn't wear Hawaiian shirts.
Creepy + security guard = extra creepy.
Are these two statements connected?
River: The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems. Mal: See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like.
'Safe'
Natter 45: Smooth as Billy Dee Williams.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

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.

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

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It's a time-honored tradition!! (Remember, sweetie, I did the same thing. You'll be fine! Whee!)
Yes, ma'am it is!
If Barbara were to say to me, "Can you breastfeed in the bathroom?" I'd say, "Sure. And then you can eat your lunch in there, too."
Now, I loved breastfeeding. I wish I did it longer. However, personally, I would be uncomfortable nursing in a public place IF I didn't have a cover. (Those of you who visited our home while I was nursing Em can attest to the fact that I'd whip out a boob and NOT use a cover. I found them intrusive and just plain hard to keep in place.) If the baby and breast are covered, so what? You aren't seeing anything - which, I assume, is what makes people uncomfortable - the NEKKID BREAST - OMGWTF?? When we traveled with Em by plane, it was easier to give her a bottle. I had to nurse her at one point on the way to Michigan, and it was such a PITA.
So, I get her unconfortableness to a certain point because I have it, too.

On the View, though? Isn't the whole shtick that they, well, natter about whatever comes to mind?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmm. I guess if reasonable people may feel uncomfortable with someone breastfeeding next to them, it might be a reasonable feeling. Which hadn't occurred to me.
But I'm with Lee on some things don't need to be said on public TV by big name personalities.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You know those big shipping containers they use on container ships and the trailers of semis?
