Nip nip hooray !!! Mine are always at full mast. No matter the temps . Believe me I’ve tried. Against all my breast’s odds to settle them down. I’m proud but admit toning down with “proper” sports bar. Maybe from here on out I’ll let freedom fly

Very funny and well done.

John Oliver had a great segment on Zuckerberg/Meta on his show Sunday night.

A pure delight, this sassy letter from your perky nipples. I love your humor.

Amy — This is wonderful! I’m 64. Over four decades, I gained and lost 200 lbs. In 2021, I had reconstructive surgery. I remember waking up after the surgery, looking under my hospital gown at my lovely new boobs, then passing out due to complications. My new breasts are beautiful, but I’m the only one who sees them. FREE THE NIPPLE!!!

Yes!! I had my breasts "done" too, and they are spectacular! They deserve to see the light of day.

I posted a picture of mine, albeit, highly filtered, and with church doors added. I call that one Saint Pippins Abbey 🍏🍏 ¡Escandalosa! Someone should tell Zuck he’s a cuck for allowing an old woman’s nipples to stay on Instagram for months 😆 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEKyFGivbkb/?igsh=MXN3OGx2ZWl4YTh0cg==

Great minds think alike. I was contemplating posting an artistic nude of myself on Substack for my paid subscribers.

Omg, Amy. This is fabulous. I love you and your glorious nipples the most. Suck it, Zuck.

Thank you Kendall! My nipples are finally getting their moment in the spotlight (metaphorically speaking because I'd be arrested if they were actually in the spotlight). 🤣🥰❤️

And what a ridiculous thing to be arrested for in this world we live in. 🙄

I used to sunbathe topless on my roof when I lived about a block from an Irish Social Club…I’d sit up there and look at the side door of the most efficient drug dealer I’ve ever met. A modern medicine man of sorts, I guess. But he was good and a really nice neighbor. Way quieter than the kids next door. Haha. But it was a good place, but yes…I definitely see your point on the absurdity of making women’s bodies something to be fetishized by keeping them covered in such a way that suggests there’s something shameful about them. I’m coming around.

If Italian men can handle seeing female nipples without drooling, I think American men can too. I've had a lot of unlearning to do and still a lot more to go. I love your willingness to question the status quo! Thanks Amy! 🥰❤️

I hope it was okay for me to share this on my Facebook page. I have been a big supporter of you and your causes. This was just a way for me to show my support. Keep up the good fight, my friend.

So good. And those pastries look amazing to my sugar detoxing self…can’t wait to come back and listen to the audio later this evening. I loled already at the fart fumes.

I find the banning of nipples so offensive in contrast to all the different ways children are exploited on those very same apps. (Not to Debbie downer your post, but if they can AI nipples, they can AI pedos)

100% agree, and you are not a Debbie Downer 🥰❤️

Amy, I love how boldly and humorously you’ve written this! It’s honestly baffling how much unnecessary policing there is around something as natural as nipples. In Germany, we have a much more relaxed attitude about this. People casually go topless in public swimming pools, and nudity in spaces like saunas is the norm. In the eastern parts of Germany nudism is even more common, you'll have special beaches and Nudity clubs.

It’s a striking difference to the way body positivity and natural human expressions are treated elsewhere, and your letter is a much-needed reminder of the absurdity of body shaming.

Keep pushing for dignity and acceptance—here's to more freedom and less judgment everywhere!

Thank you Jay! It's such a double standard (pun intended) here in the US. 🥰

Expand full comment

Oh yes, the US has always been big on double standards—even 40 years ago, and likely long before that. It all traces back to the so-called Puritans and the deep-rooted bigotry in parts of the population. They couldn’t be that way in the old world, so they transported it to the new world—never to evolve.

Go Amy! You are hereby promoted to Joint Chief(s? I think we need two) of the Boob Brigade. 😊😊

Haha! I'll take that promotion any day, unless it's a federal job and then I'll have to justify my existence all over again 🤣😭. Love you!🥰❤️

Nothing like a smart, provocative laugh. Fun fact: When Jacqueline Susann was the steamiest author on the bestseller list, way back in the 60s or 70s, it came to light that her notion of the dirtiest, most unspeakable word was “nipple.”

Expand full comment

Thank you Rona! How funny that Jacqueline Susann was put off by the word "nipple". It feels like I read "Valley of the Dolls" a million years ago. Did you see the movie with Patty Duke and Sharon Tate? Her last movie I think😭
