Desperately looking for anyone in Scotland to foster a 2 year old female cat named Bambi. Incredibly affectionate and friendly. Indoor-only. Whether temporary (a few weeks) or longer term.
She's going to be put to sleep otherwise -- due to a heart issue that won't affect her for another 12 months

Ok stop, hold up. Folks I am asking this with sincerity: who the fuck is doing this?
I don’t mean “trying to impress their dates instead of trying to connect with them”, I mean “the whole date is just for the ‘gram”.

Time for my annual reminder that Valentines Day is literally a corporate holiday that was created in the 19th century to create a market to sell more cards and lace.
Feeling bad for being alone and that celebrating love requires spending money are both features, not bugs.

If you're on your own for Valentine's, don't be afraid or ashamed to treat yourself.
And don't let anyone shame you for it, either. You tell them I said they are cordially invited to go fuck themselves with a slap-chop.

I vaguely recall @megelison.bsky.social telling a story from her fintech days about a shlubby engineer realizing several drinks in that he was being honeypotted by a model and climbing out the bathroom window to escape

My first date with my now wife involved dropping her bags at my house, doing a quick change and then getting dinner and showing her some of my usual haunts in downtown Austin, culminating with our first kiss at Lucky Lounge (RIP)
This is an unapologetically sappy feel-good subject (at least, I guess, for people in a happy relationship”). So, to prepare for Valentine’s Day, what did you and your partner do for a first date?
My wife and I went to tea at Huntington Gardens and walked around.
