Me ish Cookie

someone having a crush on me

someone randomly seeing me and thinking ‘wow s/he’s cute’

someone getting happy because I messaged them first

someone thinking about me, in general

someone wondering how I am

someone finding me attractive

someone doing something to try and impress me

someone asking their friend on what to say to me 

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

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:

Please don’t scroll past this! You could change a generation of kids and teenagers! EVERYONE! I need your attention! This is our one chance to truly make an impact on the Miraculous Ladybug when it airs in the fall of 2015.  For anyone who wants to learn about Ladybug really quickly before reading or re-blogging this, please watch these videos and consider doing so!

The original creator behind Ladybug stated (as seen in the images above) that the series has a HUGE chance to be animated if the CG version is a success. However, it won’t be as easy now that Nick has broadcasting rights. As you know, Nickelodeon has gained broadcasting rights to many “magical girl/heroine” series before. They usually leave them out of the spotlight and neglect advertising on television. This means that if the show drops in ratings, then they will move it to digital or worse… to Nicktoons.  If this happens, the show may NOT receive the anime series us teenagers have be wanting for so long! Don’t underestimate Nickelodeon, they’ve moved shows to digital before. They’ve done it with the Legend of Korra, Winx Club, and several other shows in a process that is all too familiar: 1. Give the show a bad time slot (such as noon on a Sunday) 2. Shows ratings are low/ have dropped = Pull all advertising 3. Ratings get worse = Move to digital 4. Moved to digital = Taken off the air in the USA 

Just imagine if there ends up being a group chat with some people outside the class, and some people from the class. Invariably, someone sighs, “You’re so lucky you get to be in the same class as Adrien Agreste,” and Rose (or anyone really, but most likely her) just sighs wistfully and smiles, “Yeah, I can’t wait to see when Adrien and Marinette finally get together…”

Then she notices everyone outside of their class is staring at her. Her classmates are just nodding along like they’ve heard this all before and totally agree, but the other students? STARE.

Someone blurts, “Wait, don’t you want to date Adrien?”

Rose looks baffled at the very idea. “…No? Why would I?”

“Because he’s Adrien Agreste,” someone else exclaims, before they look around and see the same general non-reaction. “…Doesn’t anyone in your class want to go out with him?”

Alix shrugs. “I mean, there’s Chloe, but that’s not going to happen unless he gets brainwashed or blackmailed. And Juleka likes doing his makeup, I guess.”

Julika is normally pretty reserved when it comes to larger groups, but she adds, “Well, yeah, he has a nice face and he doesn’t fuss. But I don’t need to date him to do that.” 

“Why isn’t anyone else in your class interested in dating him?!”

“Um, because we’re waiting for him to get together with Marinette?” Alix rolls her eyes, and the tone of her voice tacks on an obvious why else? where her words never did. “Seriously, everyone can see it, and they’re going to be kind of adorable once they get off their dense butts and actually start dating.”

Then she spots movement out of the corner of her eye. Marinette, who is on the other side of the quad and doodling in her sketchbook, doesn’t see Adrien approaching, but Alix does - and she points it out silently to the group with a flick of her fingers. 

They watch as Alya, grinning brightly enough to be seen even from here, nudges Marinette and makes excuses to leave just as Adrien arrives - then makes it about as far as the nearest corner with her phone out to record.

Marinette takes no notice until he asks her something, then she jumps and blushes. They end up talking though, and Adrien sits down next to her, leaning in to get a closer look at her drawings. Marinette in turn leans in and points things out, and before the group knows it, the two of them are chatting easily and completely lost in their own world.

Let us wrap you in feels! Here’s more of what my Adrien voice sounds like.

Which is basically my normal voice. :3 ~ Chat Mun

So fashion can be kinda wonky at times so a designer under Gabriel designs a “Urban Animal” line where, like, all the models are dressed like, well, animals of the city and Adrien is, of course, told to do it. So he’s like “Ok, but I gotta let my friends know because we gotta study later” so he tells Nino, Alya, and Marinette, his group for studying or a project or whatever, to meet him on site at the end so they can go to get work done.

Now on accident there’s some issues and they get the times mixed up, so Alya, Nino, and Marinette show up when all the models do and one of the models, a long black-haired girl of short stature that kinda looks like Marinette, happens to break a heel while trying to throw her weight around. So now she’s rushed off to the hospital and the designer is like “crap I need a short cute model FAST” and then, just as Adrien tells his friends were snacks are while he goes off for the shoot, the designer spots Marinette and is just like YOU.

And Marinette drops the cookie an inch from her mouth as she nearly has a heart attack. The designer is INSISTENT that this is a blessing from above and he BEGS her to fill in like he’ll PAY her. At first, Marinette isn’t sure but with Alya’s nudges and the number she’d get paid (which would cover a TON of design materials for the next month let me tell you), she’s shoved towards the tent for make-up and dress-up.

And so then the show is on with various designs and, in the midst of things, Marinette realizes what she looks like and has a minor heart attack but it’s too late, she’s standing on the roof next to something that looks like a bee and a pigeon-man is swooping in on them.

She’s none other than decked in a ladybug-themed outfit down to the thick glasses with red and black linings.

She actually does a marvelous job, though, striking poses like a hero of the day and night. The photographers are eating it up. Then, another group moves in from a neighboring area for the massive photo-op, and Marinette looks down from her perch as green eyes peak back at her.

Marinette nearly falls off the metal balcony as a black cat with blond hair and dual leather belts leaps out, eyes wide behind green-tinted glasses that bring out his own glorious irises.

And Marinette’s like holy cow that looks like Chat but like if he was a model not a street cat.

And so the mass-op begins but at the end the designer just shoves everyone off because the only two who look so comfortable in their clothes are the cat and the ladybug, slinking through the buildings like they’ve lived their lives on those roofs and not spoiled under them. Pose after pose the two are shot as the cat boy and the bug girl are just casting disbelieving glances at one another, especially when poses strike too close to home.

Finally, Marinette finds courage. “Chat?” She whispers when they were leaned against one another. The boy stiffens before casting a glance back.

“Lady?”

Then the designer just utterly destroys the secret identity thing with…

“Dupain! Agreste! Great jobs! That’s all for today!”

And then Marinette is just jaw dropped as she tears off her glasses, and he his, and she’s staring at Adrien like oh my gods it’s Chat and Adrien.

And wow is the review session suddenly confusing because Marinette just runs off to Alya and can’t look at Adrien straight lest she start screaming while Adrien is somewhere between yelling at Plagg like why didn’t you tell me and like I’m an idiot I’m an idiot I’M AN IDIOT.
