Mr. Skinner and your Team

This year, the valentines event is so much more important given what is currently happening in the US, with the man baby in charge. You gave us a bit of reprieve to enjoy this moment and am thankful. Even one star speaks volumes. Thank you.

about it and defended you. I was not speaking about people who have a lot of heart, just about giving them away.

Have none. It kind of bothers me that there are people on this forum with no hearts and other with tons of them. In my opinion we need to take care of the ones who have been left behind

who are depressed and feel alone and unwanted, (I saw one yesterday and gave him my last 3 hearts)
These people can really use a heart. Maybe some people have a lot more hearts to give than I do, I guess it may be relative.

And I am sure I am not the only one who tries to give hearts to people who don't have any. Some people only post in the different support groups or other groups and not on the Main Pages. That is where I went.

Every year I do the same. I give some hearts at first, but towards the end I look for those with no hearts given.

Just because someone doesn't post a lot or hangs out where they don't get noticed doesn't mean they don't deserve some DU love. We need it right now more than ever right now!

Because I love hearts and because I want everyone to have some. And each time I ran out I saw more people who needed hearts.

They bring a little joy that we can share.

It felt so welcoming. As a liberal atheist living in Texas, that isn't a feeling I get often
