Each suit in the Bag of Bones playing card deck tells a visual story progressing from Ace to Ten. A heartwarming lamia, a persistent gardener, a spider’s catch, and a clumsy walker make for quick stories. The court cards stand alone, but have tales for themselves. For those wishing something more pleasant, Artiphany also has decks featuring dogs, kittens, and mermaids.

Today’s cards: 2 of Hearts, King of Spades, & Jack of Diamonds.

Valentine’s Day is coming and you’re worried about having to keep up with expectations. Everywhere you look, you see the (photoshopped) perfect couple having the (scripted) perfect relationship while doing the (staged) perfect activities, and there is no way you can be as perfect as the advertisements say you have to be. Relax. Ignore the marketing. All you have to be is yourself. You do you, and everything else is going to turn out just fine.
