Reporter: What inspired you to organize this Valentine's Day art installation at the White House?

First Lady Dr. Jill Biden: "I just wanted some joy ... With the pandemic, just everybody's feeling a little down. So, it's just a little joy. A little hope. That's all."

@MavenOfMayhem And this is why answering that hate with love and not anger is the only thing that can help them open their minds to the possibility of changing it.

Someone in my bookclub just described the COVID-19 vaccine as the “Fauci Ouchie” and it has made my entire day.

@MavenOfMayhem LOVING EVERYONE !?!?! For WHO THEY ACTUALLY ARE?!?!? *gasp while clutching out dated conservative ideals* The fact that in 2021 we still have to fight for LGBTQ2+ acceptance and tolerance irks me.

[Christopher Riley @cptkr]

@ellen_thalia_n Rejecting a transgendered child is the same as just rejecting your child full stop. Being trans is simply one aspect of who they are, and you have no more control over that then anything else. So why are rejecting parents so obsessed with control?

[Christopher Riley @cptkr]

@TorificallyTori @cleo_thorn Well then your ahead of schedule and that is not a bad thing!

[Christopher Riley @cptkr]

2021 - a year that’s going to be all about self love, self acceptance and personal betterment. And a t-shirt that says “I survived 2020”

[Christopher Riley @cptkr]

@cleo_thorn @TorificallyTori Which is rad. Now being many weeks in it really does get so much better.

[Christopher Riley @cptkr]

When joy feel when you hear that #YYCHotChocolateFest is still going strong in 2021 is the positivity I need in my life.

[Alberta Government @YourAlberta]

This past year has been a tough one for many of us. You don't have to go it alone. Mental health support is available: https://t.co/h4gtWkczx1

We're stronger together. When you join the #BellLetsTalk conversation today, your story can help reduce stigma & create positive change.

[Prime Minister of Canada @CanadianPM]

Now more than ever, our words and actions matter. On #BellLetsTalk Day, let’s continue to talk openly about mental health so we can fight the stigma together.

[Christopher Riley @cptkr]

So important. Speak up if you need help and listen with love if you can.

[Rachel Notley @RachelNotley]

Today is Bell Let's Talk Day.
This year, it means more than ever before, as we grapple with the challenges of a global pandemic and are isolated from loved ones.
For those struggling, you are not alone. We hear you, we see you. We are all in this together.
