happy lonely hearts' club month
It's February! The month of Valentine's Day and the Super Bowl; the shortest, coldest month of the year in the Northern Hemisphere; and, yes, the month named for the whips that pagans once cut from the animals they sacrificed, which were used to whip girls and women in celebration of the nascent Valentine's Day holiday known as Lupercalia.
In other words, what's not to love? And I, for one, received a delightful Valentine's month surprise when I discovered that my broken heart/valid heart t-shirts are featured in not one, but two (!) Treasury Wests (Treasuries West?) on Etsy (both, alas, now expired):
Valentine Humbug by Silver Sisters Studio
for the broken hearted by Knot Original
Whee! Well, consider this your reminder to get a shirt (or, hell, a broken-hearted robot, it's pretty freakin' cute) for your favorite geek for Valentine's Day.
