Happy Palentine’s Day from Sherlock and Watson! Share this with a pal!
Here’s a making-of video:
Wikipedia is telling me that Palentine’s Day is actually “celebrated annually on February 13, but can be observed on February 14 as well”. It seems like the point is better made if it’s on the 14th.
There’s something to be said here about the diminished status of friendship in our culture compared to romantic relationships, despite its centrality to well-being and life outcomes. But best leave it to others who actually have thought, researched, and talked about it, like on this great Ezra Klein podcast episode interviewing Rhaina Cohen about her forthcoming book, “The Other Significant Others: Reimagining Life With Friendship at the Center”. I’m looking forward to reading it once the library gets it as an e-book.
Why, yes, I am single, how’d you know? ;)
Happy celebrations, y’all.
