Bumped right into this guy. Hey! You're handsome, I say. Wonder what you are. Google lens wasn't working, so I go to some object identifier I found on my phone. That'll do the trick!

Bagpipes.

This is bagpipes. 🙄

Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder that caring for our minds is just as vital as caring for our bodies. It's OK not to be OK; 1 in 8 of us live with some form of mental health imbalance or disorder. Today, be gentle with yourself and others, everyone carries something unseen.
