The govt claim this was a ‘working holiday’ but @JCalvertST reported that “aides were told to cut down documents or the PM just wouldn't read them”. #ValentinesDay #valentines

3/. During these 12 days in the countryside, the PM - who admitted he doesn’t read the scientific papers - missed two COBRA meetings
Instead of planning for the impact of #COVID19 he was trying to finalise his divorce
When he came back to London, the PM was winging it as usual

For #ValentinesDay, I wrote this to Manchester United, my 1st love. I've supported them since 1976 when I was 9. Now, with 3 players associated w/ #MUFC accused of domestic & sexual abuse of women, my team are becoming synonymous with misogyny. feministgiant.com/p/essay-femini…
It's not just #MUFC, of course. Football is one of the many outlets that patriarchy offers to cis men as an excuse to treat us like shit.
I wrote this before the finals of Euros and Copa America last year about misogynist violence associated w/the sport

It’s hard enough watching men’s football, with its ever-present threat of violence; violence often mirrored by fans in the stands and after matches.
I am thrilled that @we_level_up @EVAWukhave joined forces with recommendations for @FA & @premierleague

IT’S TIME FOR #CURATORBATTLE!💥
Today’s theme is #SauciestObject for #Valentines!❤️
We're starting with a parade of private parts!
This Roman bowl bears 4 double-ended phalluses, each facing a disembodied vulva. There's even a phallic creature on the bottom too...
BEAT THAT💥

The quirky scene on the base shows a figure riding a lion-like beast which has three phalluses, including one for a head and a tail! Although you’d be forgiven for thinking we were making this stuff up...
Whilst the artist gets full marks for imagination, the image is really low quality and might be a poorly cast copy of a scene from elsewhere in the Roman World. In fact the bowl is so wacky that our best guess is that it’s a Roman bowl with later additions to make it extra #saucy

Throughout the last 200 years, Parliament has played a role in shaping and improving aspects of private life, this includes your relationships today. But do you know when the first Marriage Act was passed? 📜#Valentines
If you answered C, you were correct. The first Marriage Act passed by Parliament was in 1753 changing the landscape of marriage forever by making clandestine (secret) marriages illegal.
We’re exploring how Parliament has shaped modern relationships, do you know what the most recent Act of Parliament affecting modern day marriage and unions is? #Valentines
“Ishtar of joy is clothed in charm; she is adorned with seductiveness, cosmetics, and appeal. She is sweet-lipped, her mouth is life; laughter blooms on her features.”
An Old Babylonian hymn to the goddess Ishtar dedicated by the king Ammi-ditana #Galentines #Valentines
An Old Babylonian hymn to the goddess Ishtar dedicated by the king Ammi-ditana #Galentines #Valentines
A 4,000-year-old hymn to the goddess Ishtar praises her aspects as the goddess of love and her authority in the Babylonian pantheon.
“She alone controls mutual love, obedience, passion, good will...
Who can equal her greatness?
Strong, august, brilliant are her divine powers”
“She alone controls mutual love, obedience, passion, good will...

Strong, august, brilliant are her divine powers”
In Mesopotamia, the goddess Ishtar was volatile and complex. She enjoyed making love as much as she did inciting battle
King Ashurbanipal of ancient Assyria claimed her support in his royal inscriptions: “With the help of Ashur and Ishtar, I killed them. Their heads, I cut off.”
