#ValentinesDay
I wanted to let her down lightly. I thanked her for the offer, but explained that I’m gay and only into dudes. I also said that I had bad eyestrain, so I don’t watch shows anymore, as they hurt my eyes too much.
I was wholly unprepared for her reaction.

Yesterday was "White day" in #Korea, the companion to Valentine's Day. Our doggie is going to a sort of day care a few days a week for social time and to practice being OK without us, and they had a bit of an event to celebrate White Day, apparently. I'll let the photos speak for themselves..

It was both exciting and terrifying to see what's possible with only a few days of practice and education.

A few days after the 14th is the best time to make valentine's cards, right?


Had a little “Galentine’s Day” party with my mom friends (and our babies) today. I made some Vanilla Rose Donuts for the affair. I used food grade rose water and dried rose petals to add a subtle rose flavor to these cakey donuts. 💖
#baking #cooking #food #mom #valentinesday




I’m an asexual person, so romance or the desire to pursue sex and relationships aren’t things I really feel that strongly. Valentine’s day is just another day for me; it isn’t something that conjures up deep desires to find a partner. Most of the time it just comes and goes, like any other day.
https://medium.com/prismnpen/my-asexual-valentines-story-c3f560e383e0?sk=13eab6971f68326ce39900437d16f118

If you're interested in averting #ClimateCrisis, think the #environment should be our priority, but also bought your loved one some beautiful flowers on #valentinesday, then I've got some potentially bad news for you - if you bought imported stems you're part of the problem (albeit quite a small part)....
It not all about the transport either; 'forcing' #flowers for the seasonal market uses masses of #energy... so there we have it; buy you loved one British flowers next year if you're #green
It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇
Love is taking your drunk partner home 😉
#Dionysos held by his wife #Ariadne, helping the drunk god walk. He holds a lyre in his hand, she what is possibly a tambourine. A little #Eros on the left side of the vase painting seems to be playing a smaller version of it. His presence symbolises their mutual love and attraction.

If you're still loved up after #valentinesday & want to settle down to some love songs over an artisanal beer, why not join #ProfDJ at the Stonewell Tap, Church St. #Lancaster, tonight for Lovers' Night - a selection of tunes celebrating (in various ways) luuurve... (yup, they'll be some #BarryWhite, alright!)

In this particular Still Life I liked to highlight the balance between the colors of the pitcher and the oranges. The ancient shape of the pitcher is a wonderful contrast to the simplicity of the fruits. A nice setup for afternoon tea to welcome friends.

I know vampires aren't the latest fashion,
but as we approach the sprawling mansion,

and walking toward me en masse.

Valentine's drawing from 2022.
A character that pops up every now and then when I have thought about love and relationships and such.
My wife had mixed feelings. Oh well, at least I tried.
Mistodon: as part of his sketchy rapid prototyping creative process, @pixelblip manages to cook up hasty comments on contemporary phenomena that belong uniquely to their moment in history. In 2020 his #Valentine message would have involved Covid, in 2022 it would have referenced NFTs, but in 2023, it had to acknowledge the McAfee study suggesting "1 in 3 Men Plan to Use #ChatGPT to Write #LoveLetters this #ValentinesDay". He couldn't not do it. So here you have his new #teletext screen, titled "CheapskA.Ite".
Been wanting to see #Rosaline. Figured #ValentinesDay was perfect. What happened to Romeo and Juliet before they met? #KaitlynDever happened! It's on #DisneyPlus now, and I think Hulu as well. It's a lot of fun.
Happy #ValentinesDay!
“#Love and friendship are profoundly personal, #selfish values: love is an expression and assertion of #SelfEsteem, a response to one's own values in the person of another. One gains a profoundly personal, selfish joy from the mere existence of the person one loves. It is one's own personal, selfish #happiness that one seeks, and earns and derives from love."
—#AynRand, "The #Ethics of Emergencies," collected in the book ‘The Virtue of Selfishness’ https://aynrand.org/novels/the-virtue-of-selfishness/

There aren't many Italian restaurants in San Antonio, but we found a small one close to downtown and ate there for #ValentinesDay dinner. I got meat ravioli which seems to be so hard to find these days outside of in a can. It was sooo good! Too bad they were out of tiramisu!
Happy Valentine's Day from these two handsome young men.
As something of a parental figure to them, please also enjoy these baby photos of them so they can feel suitably embarrassed.
How you know that you and that hot guy that hangs out around your house are simpatico. #ValentinesDay
Since it's Valentine's Day, went over to #HarvsIsland and looks like Tiansheng set up a little cafe!
We have Muffy and Étoile are having a date on one side; on the other side we have Filbert and Frita sitting down to get to know each other.
Here's hoping they all have fun!
And hope you had a lovely one too.

This is our pet dinosaur, Krona Rex. We adopted him during 2020 and dressed him up for holidays to amuse ourselves and our neighbors. Eventually he got his photo in the New York Post and on a daytime tv news show.
I haven’t dressed him up in a while (it’s too cold outside and we have him blocked in with some cars), but hopefully I’ll get back into his costumes eventually. Enjoy this Valentines photo from a couple years ago!
You can see more of his shenanigans at www.KronaRex.com 🦖
