Weekend Reading
- I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, agonizing, etc about breastfeeding these days…and I’ve learned it’s an incredibly contentious topic. Anyways, I found this article fascinating.
- Man, this is an incredible archaeological find.
- You’re going to want to read this piece about Salvador Dali’s perfectly preserved mustache.
- I have always been fascinated by nineteenth-century death photography.
- Pregnancy can be a really frightening and emotionally fraught time – I’m not ashamed to admit that I felt a lot of fear during my pregnancy (and the trauma of my emergency C section was basically all those fears coming true) and when I read this heartbreaking article it drove the point home for me that pregnancy is joyous, but also scary.

My love of ginger cats is no secret, and I really do think these two are the cutest - I always laugh at the hijinks they get up to when you post photos of them on instagram!
xox,
Cee
Aww, your cats are adorable!
Breastfeeding is a very contentious topic indeed. Breastfeeding mothers spend 40 hours a week feeding. It's literally a full time job, on top of everything else that a baby needs! A mother's happiness directly affects the baby's - and we need to drop both the sigmas from women who use formula being considered less than, while also discriminating against breastfeeding mothers doing so in public! Women nourishing their babies being put down no matter what they do!
The death photos are pretty interesting, but I don't find them any more strange than embalming the dead. People still crave having one more memory with their departed loved one. Frankly I think the photo taking is less weird than having blood replaced with embalming fluids. (this of course prompted me to look up embalming on wikipedia, and man, I can not imagine the kind of person who signs up for that job.)

Awww a well deserved feature... and that Dali piece is kind of creepy.. I can actually imagine the mustache on the mummified body. I hope that woman is indeed his daughter so she can claim the state from the Spanish government.
