A collection of six ominous bird valentines set against a background of pink hearts. In the first one, a Canada Goose looks angry and hisses and the text says "Baby, I'll make you fall head over heels if you approach within 10m of my nest." In the second, an American white pelican opens its mouth to eat the reader and the text says "There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I want this one." In the third valentine, a Black Vulture looks suspiciously at the reader and the text says "I will love you until you die. And after that, I'll love you even more." A Southern Cassowary stands proudly against the heart-covered background. The text says "My wattles are red. My head is blue. My deadly reputation has been somewhat overblown, but I'd kill for you." In the fifth valentine, a Northern Giant-Petrel stands open-billed next to a large brown furry object, and the text says "Let's seal the deal by sharing a 3000 kg elephant seal carcass." In panel 6, a happy-looking Bearded Vulture holds a bone in its beak, and the text says "I love every part of you, especially your bones."
Ominous bird valentines.

Moment of silence for all the librarians with that Neil Gaiman quote about Google in their email signatures, for multiple reasons
Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're in an old house with rich wood trims and various mahogany things and frosty windows and it's nightime. Data sits in a cozy chair, staring presumably at a fireplace. There's a orb/night light behind him in the background. He's wearing a robe & pajamas and a long night cap like the one Scrooge always wears in that holiday story about shitty healthcare and wealth inequity. Closed caption reads, "Humbug, I tell you."
