Dave and Sollux run a buy-sell-trade music/DVD store (think the Sound Garden) together, right next to John’s shop. they actually kind of piss each other off but Dave is weirdly charming as a shop owner and Sollux is a genius at business so they make a pretty good team. Sollux also sells and trades computer parts sometimes, and both of them double as commentators for the local boxing matches, where they tend to kick each other under the table a lot.
so does anybody actually understand homestuck or has the fandom come to a silent understanding that nobody fully knows what’s going on but we enjoy it anyways and pretend to know what’s happening

Controversial Facebook Photos of the Day: Air National Guard members Terran Echegoyen-McCabe and Christina Luna recently posted to Facebook several pics of themselves breastfeeding in fatigues — which they do all the time on Fairchild Airforce Base in Spokane, Washington – and their photos have prompted outcry from around the world.
No matter that there are no rules in military conduct against breastfeeding in uniform; one disparaging Facebook comment compared the images to “urinating and defecating.”
Fellow soldier Rita Trujillo commented:
“I as one of many women who fought long and hard to be accepted and respected as fellow soldiers and the right to wear these uniforms feel shocked, angry at these published photos.”The photos were taken for the Mom2Mom Breastfeeding Support Group,which raises awareness of women’s right to breastfeed in public.
America hates mothers in a way that is so insipid, you have WOMEN disparaging other WOMEN for doing what the breast was intended to do and being active engaged mothers.
And why?
Because “I as one of many women who fought long and hard to be accepted and respected as fellow soldiers and the right to wear these uniforms feel shocked, angry at these published photos.”
This is a statement made by a woman about how women feeding their children in their work fatigues damages her status and acceptance as a female soldier. Meaning motherhood is seen as something “weak” and breastfeeding is “dirty”.
Patriarchy is a hell of a drug.
flawless commentary
Also reblogging for the comments because it’s disgustingly true. I wish it weren’t though. You can see it in those awful numbers comparing paid maternity leave and such around the world too. WTF USA, WTF?
Breastfeeding being so looked down upon in the US makes me SO ANGRY. i don;t understand what is dirty about this. How is this dirty I really REALLY do not even understand. women get dirty looks for feeding their children in public. Seriously? don’t fucking look if you don’t like it. I don’t care if you see a bare boob as a fucking sexual object. That’s not what they are, it’s not what they’re used for. They’re used to feed a child and if you have a problem with that, well then you can go fuck yourself.
