brigdh1. A wonderful post by breathedout on tumblr and fandom's current fascination with 'tenderness' and 'softness'. The comments are absolutely worth reading too.
2. Fromsovay: my new very favorite Valentine's Day comic, starring Frankenstein.
3. Signal-boosting this GoFundMe, where a Masters student in social work wants to provide compensation for the sex workers she's researching.
4. I find this map of murders in medieval London to be unexpectedly fascinating. Hover over it for tiny summaries of each murder! My favorites so far: "A fishmonger stabbed to death by his mistress" and "Vicious attack for dropping eel skins outside a shop".
5. where our boundaries were thinnest by suitablyskippy. A long, deeply compelling fic about Constance and Merricat from We Have Always Lived in the Castle. All the warnings you would expect from that canon.

Yay!
"Vicious attack for dropping eel skins outside a shop".
Did somebody slip on them?!

It is hard to imagine how dropping some eels leads to murder otherwise! Perhaps they were very old and stinky?
