My Funny Valentine (Take 2)

'My Funny Valentine'
Chet Baker / Frank Sinatra

Some molecules getting it together!

True love!

Anarchists in love

Emma Goldman in 1911.

Co-organiser Pinki.

I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from conventions and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy

Emma Goldman (1869-1940), after being told agitators shouldn't dance.

Class War is marking 14 February with a speed-dating event.
Story from the 'BBC' here.

(Hopefully this will put a smile on the face of somebody over in NZ!)

Be my valentine?

More YoniLab artwork here.

Bonus:
'My Funny Valentine' & 'I Want You'
Elvis Costello & the Attractions

The moon over Melbourne

(Photo by TimN)

There was a real smokey haze yesterday here in Melbourne and with it not only the smell of the bushfires but also a weird orange diffused light.
Just taking the dog for a walk I noticed that the moon also has this orange glow to it.
The photo above was taken about 5 minutes ago.
