Is there anything more mesmerizing than seeing a LEGO gryphon soaring through the morning sky, its wings outstretched against the rising sun? I catch it gazing back at me with an equal sense of awe and admiration, and I feel particularly special this morning, as I add more whiskey to my coffee.

Good morning! Mondays can feel like a heavy fog, making it hard to see through the day ahead. If you're feeling overwhelmed or struggling, know that it's okay to take it slow. Reach out for support if needed, and remember that brighter days are just around the corner. You're stronger than you think!

"Ripley" (on Netflix) pulls you into the gritty world of Patricia Highsmith’s Tom Ripley (Andrew Scott) with its slick black-and-white setting. Every lie builds the tension and casts shadows over every beautifully shot scene. It's a dark, twisted ride that's as captivating as it is unsettling.

People worry too much about getting “likes” or attracting followers. But if each of us just lets our authentic self shine through, we’ll find genuine connections with people that share our interests, and that’s much more valuable.
Insightful, right? Kind of makes you want to like and follow I bet.

You really need a proper camera, the right settings, and a filter to capture the eclipse. This was the best I could do here in Montreal with my phone. #SolarEclipse2024 #Eclipse

When my youngest was diagnosed, I remember one of the first things I looked for what was available for Autistic adults. 17 years ago, my anxiety was high re: #employment and #workplace #accommodations . It's still there.

Good morning y'all. Happy Monday! It's cloudy in the Mitten State this morning. Solar eclipse if it's going to show itself won't be until this afternoon, so fingers crossed. I hope everyone slept well. I have coffee in hand. Let's get this day started. #AIArt #JustForFun 💜♾️

Everyone's whispering about the rapture coinciding with today's solar eclipse. Fuck that! I'm stocking up on garlic and wooden stakes, just in case a coven of ravenous vampires decides to crash the watch party to do some day drinking. 🧛♂️🌒 #EclipseDay

Make sure your eclipse glasses are ANSI stamped and meet ISO 12312-2 standards. If not, they may be fake. Check by wearing them and looking at a bright lamb or bulb. You shouldn't be able to see any light.

Don't look at the sun during the eclipse (or any time), unless you are 100% sure it is totally eclipsed by the moon or you have proper protection. Even 1% exposure can cause permanent damage to your retinas causing blindness.

It is so important to remember that everyone copes differently, and that sometimes, what may appear as odd or erratic behavior is actually a sign of someone desperately reaching out for support. Let's try and cultivate more empathy and understanding, and offer kindness instead of quick judgment.
Miss Lil' Bit Angie @Neurofabulous11When one is mentally suffering, it's so easy to fall down that deep hole of despair. Trying to save yourself, it's easy to say and do things that are not of your nature.07:52 AM - Apr 06, 2024
Why I will never judge someone's behavior, because sometimes that very behavior is their cry for help.

There's nothing quite like the dulcet tones of snowplows scraping the sidewalks at 4 am and being abruptly ripped from dreams! But I’m determined to make the best of it. Who else is up for some early morning pancakes? 🥞

I have had no power for close to two days because of heavy snow and downed power lines. These USB chargers on our city buses have helped me stay powered up and connected.
