Victorian #Valentines cards weren't all hearts and roses. Some were designed to mock, insult or discourage unwanted suitors. A history professor explains how a whole subgenre targeted specific professions.

Chocoholics, brace yourselves. Cocoa farms in regions like Northeastern Brazil and West Africa are facing a drying climate, and cacao trees need humidity to thrive. Less rain = less chocolate.

Happy (early) Valentine's Day, Kaban-chan! Sometimes, you need to just take a break from raping little girls to death by raping your special little girl to death over and over and over and over again 🥰

Loving-kindness, or metta, is a form of love cherished in #Buddhism—vastly different from romantic love. A communications professor explores how it’s seen as “limitless” and “unbounded.” https://theconversation.com/this-valentines-day-try-loving-kindness-meditation-246001 #ValentinesDay #Mindfulness

#TrueStory #ValentinesDay

I attended second grade at a school in the US, where we lived for a year. The school had kids from around the world, being just outside Washington DC.

So, at 7 years old, I first experienced Valentine's Day. It was probably a first for others too. Our teacher told us that a valentine was a friend. Being a friendly boy, I got valentine cards for all the kids in the class. I got a fair number too, I think both from boys and girls, though I honestly don't remember.

Many years later, my father told me that the teacher in question was effeminate and obviously #gay. At 7, I didn't know I was gay, much less have a gaydar. But this made me think back and wonder. Was the teacher being intentionally inclusive? Or just protecting himself in a homophobic world?

His hair is red and his wings are pink, blue, and yellow, completing all the colours of the rainbow. Around him, there are stylised sparkly golden stars.

This was the official White House Valentine's message.

Valentine's Day, like Thanksgiving and Veterans Day, is an easy day for any Administration to improve its image.

But then the Trump Administration comes.

Who sends out a Valentine's message like this?

Showing even your hard-core fans that cruelty is your love message.

#WhiteHouse #Valentinesday #Cruelty

A social media post from "The White House" with a verified badge and the handle @WhiteHouse.

The post says "Happy Valentine's Day" followed by a heart emoji.

Below the text, there is a pink background with small heart shapes scattered around.

In the center, there is a poem that reads: "Violets are blue, come here illegally and we'll deport you."

There are two cut-out images of faces: one of Donald Trump and the other of his appointee for immigration.

The post is timestamped at 5:44 PM on February 14, 2025.

In honor of Valentines Day, I present my image titled 'Love Notes on Juliet's Wall." Details in ALT.

ART - https://deborah-league.pixels.com/featured/love-notes-on-juliets-wall-verona-italy-deborah-league.html

Tiny love notes attached with gum cover the courtyard walls at the house of Juliet in Verona, Italy. It is said that if you leave a declaration of your love at Juliet's House you and your lover will be together forever. However, going forward, anyone found sticking notes to the 13th century walls will now be fined 500 Euros by the City of Verona due to the damage being caused. Not to worry though, removable walls have been erected in the tunnel leading to the courtyard of the house to allow for the tradition to continue.

Juliet’s House became a popular tourist attraction because of its possible connection to the heroine in William Shakespeare’s play ‘Romeo and Juliet’, which is set in Verona. It is thought that the house is the former home of the Cappello family, who may have been the model for the Capulets in the bard’s romantic tragedy.

The ancient house is located in the very center of the medieval town, in the Via di Cappello. The Gothic style house, once owned by the Cappello family and just a few minutes’ walk from the arena, was purchased by the city in 1905 for the purpose of displaying the statue of Juliet and setting up a museum for tourists.
