I just stepped in here, so I don't know your mood, but I immediately thought of this:
A black cat screaming, against a background of the letter "a" in white on a black background.

It's such a happy experience!! This young lady lived with us briefly, and made us very happy. She eventually went to what looked like a very good home!

Name a non-LotR character who could resist the One Ring: (below, left)
Two men in suits, ties, and hats. The one on the left has a flower on his lapel. They are played by Hugh Laurie (left) and Stephen Fry (right). The background is tree-like greenery.

An orange sweet potato with a face drawn on the end. it sits on a patterned counter next to a black styrofoam tray that contains an orange-and-red nectarine with a supermarket sticker still on it.

A snip from some other service, saying "I couldn't find double-sided velcro at Michael's today. Doug said double-sided velcro was a communist plot. I said well the communists have lost their touch because I can't find it".

Without downloading new pictures, describe your gender in one image.
A corner of a staircase, paneled in green, with bookshelves full of books, sculptures, globes, and other small art objects. A staircase descends from the left, at about midpoint, with a railing. It's in dark wood, in contrast to the green paneling.

I am obliged to follow that with this pic: But I like your picture: I like that they all got together to howl!

Cybermen!
Four white 3-to-2 prong adapters for American (and Canadian?) electrical outlets, against a white background. The one on the upper right is facing backwards, showing the 2 prongs, but the remaining 3 face forward. 

They bear a passing but strong resemblance to the faces of Cybermen from Doctor Who.

That reminds me of one of my favorite images (original source unknown) I caption this, "Idea man on the left, opposable-thumbs guy on the right!"
Large orange cat on the left (standing on his hind legs), human toddler on the right, both standing in front of a well-stuffed open refrigerator!

Quotation: "But, mega influencers hawking A.I. (reportedly, some of the largest A.I. brand deals can be worth as much as $600,000) are even more cruel: they're selling the idea of fear. Fear of being left behind works only if you haven't already been left behind. Women can see through the smoke and mirrors. They know that only an almost-trillionaire can afford the future."

Without downloading anything new, where are you, mentally?

Some of the ads:
Christian Dior print ad, 1983, showing a woman in a cream-colored blouse (upper left), a man in a striped shirt with a necktie holding a baby, and another man peering in and supporting the baby's head. All are white with dark hair.The same 3 people as in the other picture, with the woman in the middle. All are wearing sunglasses. The caption says, "The Diors heard no evil and saw no evil, but nothing could stop the Mouth."

Same pet, with different books!

And another (see alt text for explanation. It's not Buddy Holly!)
Black-and-white photo of a man with heavy spectacles and a small smile, looking towards the right.  This is Edward Eager, who was (among other interesting things) a wonderful writer of children's books in the tradition of E. Nesbit.

I'm rather fond of this one, which is to the point and admits that you, the user, can't do anything with this info other than tell the experts:

I was going somewhere yesterday morning, but was delayed.
A stretch of a 4-lane road with Canadian geese walking across it. The hood of a car is in the foreground: the picture was taken from within a car.  Another car is making a left turn behind the geese.

S. said, of this picture: "The heart wants what it wants, I guess, but the tortoise doesn't seem to be too into it."
A capybara leaning over and embracing a tortoise. The tortoise is all pulled into its shell. It is unclear from the picture what the capybara's purpose is. There is a grey cut stone wall in the background.

I *think* this photo is from one of the Cat Islands in Japan. Regardless, looks like a pretty tough audience.
Several dozen cats of all colors in an outdoor setting, looking at the camera with grim expressions. Nothing in the picture indicates why they are gathered there or what they are watching.

@crowgirl42.bsky.social More "gloom" than "gloam", but one I took myself:
A battered grey picnic table at the far edge of a dead leaf-strewn clearing in the woods. Grey sky -- or possibly fog -- can be seen through the woods at the top of the image. A tree branch dripping brown dead leaves is in the upper left foreground.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.
Jeff Goldblum (with a terrible haircut), in a raincoat over what looks like a tee shirt on which someone has drawn large flowers with fabric paints, and Emma Thompson (looking more amused than he is) in a nurse's uniform.

Spotted at a public library yesterday:
A light green facial-tissues box sitting on a white paper on top of a tan, wood-grain cylindrical end table. The background is red brick and there is a brochure display device to the right.  

The green tissue box has dark green letters that say, "RIGHT BACK ACHOO".

2 streetlamps against a blue sky with clouds. Three black birds are sitting on the nearer of the two streetlights. (They are probably not actually ravens, but crows or some other black bird.)

A Kroger suggestion. I assume the eyes are edible. (Actually this is kind of cute!)
On the right side, a dozen hot dogs wrapped in some form of dough, with  staring eyes, to look like mummies. They are on a round white plate. There is a white dish of ketchup swirled with mustard to look like a spider web, for dipping.
