I'm glad your dad's doing better. I hope he gets back to work soon.

And I agree about the search pages thing. You can also fit more search results to a page if you don't include pictures.

Everyone's all in a tizzy about whether or not breastfeeding icons should be allowed, and I must've misplaced my outrage, because I'm pretty apathetic either way. I think it's a bit ridiculous to ban medeival paintings an famous art, but honestly, most of the icons using photographs of nursing babies are bad icons anyway (the 'yummy!' one everyone's all up in arms about? It's really badly-made). Not that that should be a determining factor, but it's not as if they're burning priceless masterpieces in a fire on the office roof.

The child-hater communities that are going around reporting people's icons kinda bug me, though. Isn't there something about hate comms in the lj TOS? Because I fail to see why calling mothers "Moos" and their children "Spawn," "Meatbags," etc and cracking jokes about running them over is more acceptable than slurring someone's religion or nationality.
