This February, let's rethink Valentines Day. What would this day look like if we thought of love as a verb, something we actively do for ourselves and all the people we care about? Maybe it would not be a one-day task, but a series of ways we connect throughout the year. So much of what we are taught about love and Valentines Day revolves around binary, intimate relationships and an expectation that masculine presenting people take most of the responsibility on Valentines Day, while feminine presenting people take responsibility for the health of relationships for the remaining 364 days. Bell Hooks offers a different perspective on how to share love and care in our many different human connections.
