(And a reminder that penguins were also once known affectionately as ‘arsefeet’.)

A recent cataloguing discovery to share with you all, these 1897 editions of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's Works were designed by Rossetti himself. The elegant gilt fret-work with ornamental flowers possibly alludes to the clasps of medieval incunabula [FINZI BOOK ROOM-SHELF 16E/10]

@Theholisticpsyc Love is a choice because your actions determine if it lives on or ends.

You are in control of how you act in your relationships and how much you push past conflict and challenges.

When you decide to work on communication, trust, or emotional security, you're choosing love.
