We went to Wilmington to see an art exhibit. Seemed like a cute little town. The train didn't really work since there's no way to get from the station tot he museum tho so we drove. I'd rather take the perfectly cromulent train from Philly to Baltimore for sure tho.

it was probably different it being Japan and pre 2004, but when I nannied and the baby needed formula, it took like 2 minutes to make the poo poo up, and that includes shaking the poo poo up. Thawing frozen breastmilk took longer. And sometimes when mom was home to nurse, it took the longest because the baby couldn't get comfy, kept getting distracted, etc. But of course WAR has the stance that breast is the only good thing.

Like good moms should! Feels like something FOOB Mom would mutter under her breath. I shouldn't be so hard on her. At least she's actually at the doctor, even if she will write off most of what she's told because "mom knows best." And yeah doctors get it wrong, they're not perfect, but after Covid, and gently caress, even before, the surge of anti-vax when it comes to measles and mumps because "vaccines cause autism!" bullshit, I have low tolerance for it. Just as my coworker blames the Covid vaccine for another coworker getting Covid; never mind he never masks and is a loving Uber driver and has had a cough/hacking up his lungs for weeks. Breast is not best, formula is not best, FED IS BEST. on the other hand, double ugh to Mary Worth. He's really going to get a paternity test swap done on a can of root beer, isn't he.

Steeple 20: Extreme Freaks John Allison's Patreon John Allison's Gumroad store Steeple website John Allison posted:A little shop for Bob? Lovely. So some Bobbinverse lore might need explaining here. Robert "Bob" Crowley was an occultist that appeared in Scary-Go-Round. His first appearance was in the Time Teapot story-line (posted by Kazinsal in last years iteration of this thread), in which Shelley & Amy went back to the 19th century and Bob recruited them to work in his club and use them for some sort of prophecy. This was undone when Tim used his own time teapot to stop Shelley and Amy from going to the past to begin with. Crowley later appeared in Scary-Go-Round when he was conjured to the 21st century. Though a series of convoluted events he was sent to Hell along with Erin Winters. A side comic Allison posted during the Bad Machinery era showed Crowley being devoured by a demon sometime after arriving in Hell. Now Crowley has never shown up in any of the Steeple stories, so either a) Maggie encountered him "off-screen", perhaps during the three month time skip between the last story and this one, or b) the store is only named after Crowley and Maggie and Billie saw someone else inside, most likely the "hipster-witches" that featured in the last Steeple story or her father, Bob Warren.

Like good moms should! Feels like something FOOB Mom would mutter under her breath. a)A lot of this is projecting modern poo poo on it that was never even a consideration at the time. b) One could easily flip this around on the doctors who keep pressuring her to use formula instead of breastfeeding. (and yes, she is allowed to have a choice in the matter as long as the baby's getting fed, and I'm slightly concerned by the handful of people who've acted like she shouldn't) Remember a lot of pro breastfeeding stuff was originally a reaction to people trying to make mothers feel inadequate if they didn't use formula. (It of course got weaponized to make mothers feel bad anyway, because screaming YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG AND A WORTHLESS IDIOT BECAUSE OF IT is how society as a whole treats expecting & new mothers) That's the type of frustration I'm reading from the mom in WAR.

Yeah, she's judging the other mother for letting stress levels interfere with mothering (if we're going to judge Uchida for anything it should be this - she could be more considerate, like in general, although OTOH she's breastfeeding the woman's baby fer chrissake) for not even offering to watch her own kid while she breastfeeds the other woman's for her, and for just unceremoniously pulling the baby off her tit when she has to leave, not anywhere or at all for using formula in and of itself. Nowhere in the text of the comic is the statement "breast is best" or whatever even close to being uttered, and she's said in the text of the comic that she respects mothers who use formula for the amount of work it takes. Like with the antivax readings (which I somehow imagine will persist even after we get the comics about getting actual vaccinations), TBQH if you take a "breast is best" message out of the comic it's all baggage you brought in with you I think.
