I just finished two WWF posts. The first is about the icon controversy, which I would have ignored except that it cropped up in Making Light. The second is a very personal one --- that I think is nonetheless important -- about "Why I am not a lactivist." It came out of the fact that the icon controversy, and some of the nastiness about the debate, was triggering a lot of emotions in me regarding the first few weeks of my eldest son's life. I've been sitting here writing it and crying, but I think I needed to do so. I put it over there rather than here because there are several good friends who do not read my LJ but who do read WWF.
