Please share your 'Thought of the Day'

Sunflower

Saw this sign on Twitter just now and thought "That actually makes sense, I should take better care of my self!"

Please share your Thought of the Day - it can be anything you like - quote, poetry, proverb, photo, cartoon, drawing, joke.          - it will be fascinating to see what everyone chooses. 

P.S. If you can't see the photo this is what the sign says:  

"Don't forget....    Drink water   

and get some sunlight,

because you're basically a

house plant with more

complicated emotions."

    BTW Stan Lee and Marvel have a few autistic superheros. Reed Richards (Fantasic 4) is now confirmed as autistic. The St. Croix twins storyline was a pretty interesting take on autism. Twins, one is autistic, the other isn't who have to navigate the world being both mutants, and Claudette being autistic and powerful. They were introduced in tne 90's, way ahead of today's wave of awareness. I'd say Kingpin was also deliberately portrayed by Vincent D'Onofrio as on the spectrum in the live action Netflix stuff. Interesting too to see an autistic antagonist. Comics are a pretty interesting medium!

    I don't often get on the RIP thing, but Stan Lee was great. Jack Kirby was just as important, died in 1994, but wasn't really lamented. They both gave me so much enjoyment. At least Chris Claremont is alive, his X-Men run was awesome.
