When you see this, post an image from your gallery to describe your mental health
A triptych ink painting credited to Miyamoto Musashi depicting a murder of corvids doing corvid things, some of which appear to be harassing a small owl who shows no concern with them whatsoever. The title of this work has long been lost, but is in a same style and medium to another triptych titled "Reeds and Wild Geese."

When you see this, skeet a pic from your gallery to describe your mental health
An absurdist image in a wiki-how style of a boy with a Beiber-helmet style haircut, gray short-sleeve shirt, blue pants and black socks, covering the back of his neck with both hands, face to the ground in a kneeling half-fetal crouch position, while a brown dog with a comically horrific long neck stretches it around the crouched person, presumably to bark menacingly.

You've just died.
The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

If anything ends me anytime soon, it will almost certainly be easily attributable to some reactionary policy that ignores data to bolster the already obscenely powerful status quo; i.e., climate change, housing first, etc.
A snippet credited to Carl Sagan that reads, "In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. it doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion."

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

An eldritch horror Kermit the frog with a lanky humanoid body having extremely long skinny arms and legs, feet disproportionately sized, in a crouching position, fingertips and toes pointing towards the ground, and large dark areolae, though no significant breast development per se. The caption in the top right reads, "Please take a moment o consider the ramifications of your existence," because eldritch horror Kermit is still charged with being kind and helpful before sending his victims into wholly due madness of their own making.

High anxiety
Whenever you're near
High anxiety
It's you that I fear
My heart's afraid to fly
It's crashed before
But then you take my hand
My heart starts to soar once more
High anxiety
It's always the same
Oohxiety
It's you that I blame
It's very clear to me
I've got to give in
High anxiety
You win

It follows Doom would do this to what displeases him as much as he does as he pleases.
A panel of Submariner ( I think-- I'm not a knower of comics things) and Dr. Doom; (left) Submariner warns Doom about to use some horn "DO NOT USE IT!" Doom replies, "FOOL! DOCTOR DOOM DOES AS HE PLEASES!" And above the horn is the onomatopoeia "TOOT!"

Aye! Coast Guard we are for you!
A tweet from the official United States Coast Guard account on twitter rebuking the claim that racist imagery is no longer prohibited. The text reads: "'The claims that the U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses, or other extremist imagery as prohibited symbols are categorically false. These symbols have been and remain prohibited in the Coast Guard per policy. Any display, use or promotion of such symbols, as always, will be thoroughly investigated and severely punished. The Coast Guard remains unwavering in its commitment to fostering a safe, respectful and professional workplace. Symbols such as swastikas, nooses and other extremist or racist imagery violate our core values and are treated with the seriousness they warrant under current policy.' -Admiral Kevin Lunday, Acting Commandant, U.S. Coast Guard"

I really hate it when my government makes me feel like Arthas had a point with The Culling of Stratholme. I hate it more when they make me feel this way multiple times a day for years on end.

Cut the whole thing down to the ground, and deal with the roots proper.
A screen-cap from the film "What About Bob?" of Dr. Leo Marvin (played by Richard Dreyfuss) is in mid-mental breakdown over losing control of his overly-curated career by a very recent patient (Bob, played by Bill Murray) whose insights into human mental malady has called into question the efficacy of the Dr.'s obsessive methods. The screen cap shows Dr. Marvin, having already broken into what appears to be a hunting goods and outdoors gear purveyor, among much else, late in the dark of night, to seek some means of ending Bob-- for whom Dr. Marvin blames the derailing of his career, as Bob's immediate bonding with the analyst quickly resulted in others in Dr. Marvin's orbit being just as quickly, and rightfully, taken by Bob's genuine and caring charm, as much as his naturally prescient insights-- and the image still shows Dr. Marvin's ultimate choice for ending Bob, a brand of black powder stump remover by the name of "Stump-Out." The image shows an ad poster with white background for Stump-Out, the words in all capitals appear at the top "UGLY STUMPS" with the a universal "no" sign (red circle over an already cut brown stump, with a red slash from top left to bottom right of the circle's interior); there is also a logo that reads "STUMP-OUT" 4/5 of the way down with yellow background arcing banner, and a powder blast behind it, forming a sort of arrow towards the bottom left of the arrangement; and, at bottom reads in capitals "FAST, EASY, PERMANENT!"", and is illuminated by Dr. Marvin holding a flashlight. To the right of the poster there is a stuffed bobcat standing on the powder case, and deer mounted on the wall.

Idk, seems like thinly veiled passive aggressive ableism a la cult of personal responsibility bullshit to me. Perhaps this excerpt from the wiki for the foundation best sums it up?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fou...
A screen-cap excerpt from the wiki page for The Foundation For A Better Life, criticizing the campaign's intellectually lazy, at best, and deliberately misleading at worst idea that people who have been socially marginalized have no one but themselves to blame, eschewing the myriad institutional complexities that keep the marginalized marginalized. The excerpt reads: "The foundation's advertising campaign was criticised in Current Affairs magazine for simplifying complex social issues and promoting Anschutz ideologies: 'The Pass It On campaign offers platitudes as a replacement for politics. It acknowledges that the world is full of suffering, but treats that suffering not as the result of how our society is structured, but as a failure of each individual to be kind and charitable or the failure of the disadvantaged to rise up and beat the odds through sheer determination'"
