St. Valentine's day is comin' up, and you know what that means! Break out the pinking shears and painful misunderstandings, it's time to make valentines! On Valentine's we make valentines, which really sounds stupid when you think about it. Does your family gather in the den and exchange christmasses? Do you go door to door collecting halloweens? No that's stupid. They...

Uh anyway it's time to make valentines, but what a time the winter of 2018 is for such a thing. 2017 ended with a worldwide women's rights movement boiling over into streets and headlines, and a hard-earned international focus on sexual abuse in the workplace that has only begun to intensify. Whoever or however you date/marry/procreate is your own business and I just say hooray for love, but as a person interested in dating women interested in dating men 2017 was not a great year for expressing romantic interests. Not in the midst of Lysistrata, and especially not with office supplies.

So straight cis-men had a brand correction and yes we had it coming, cool. The ascendant role of women in business and politics is a good thing absolutely. But I think we can all also agree that these societal developments make the prospect of flowery cardboard and candy sentiments delivered to offices and kindergarten cubbies around the world more complicated this year than it has been a while. Just how are we supposed to make valentines this Valentine's?

Here's my starter images (careful they're big)









If you would like to use my dirt-simple low-effort distorted font style to make your own valentine for the thread, here are some ready-made blanks for you:

Blank Valentine 1 (Careful quite large)
Blank Valentine 2 (Careful quite large)
Blank Valentine 3 (Careful quite large)
Blank Valentine 4 (Careful quite large)
Blank Valentine 5 (Careful quite large)
Blank Valentine 6 (Careful quite large)
Blank Valentine 7 (Careful quite large)
Blank Valentine 8 (Careful quite large)
Blank Valentine 9 (Careful quite large)
Blank Valentine 10 (You get the point)
Blank Valentine 11 (You get the point)
Blank Valentine 12 (You get the point)
Blank Valentine 13 (You get the point)

Or go nuts, do whatever you want for Valentine's day, say whatever you want with it, make jokes for others to make images to, make blank valentines for others to put jokes on, everything goes. If any community could save this holiday this year it's y'all. And if we can force Photoshop Phriday to update in the process all the better...

Not a card but there are many ways to express how u feel

i'm into fashion
men are my passion
This is a safe space for being ousted for expressing our distaste for valentines day online because no one wants to touch our asses or penises

I'm bitter I couldn't reboot a decade-old photoshop contest for internet nerds. I don't know if that's volcel or incel but it definitely doesn't add up to holiday coitus.

Happy Valentine's Day I guess. At least St. Patrick gets me...

If its any consolation, Photoshop Phriday was how I originally found this site like ten years ago when I was in high school taking a graphic design class, so its funny how things come full circle
