riddle, exercise for your brain

Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together. Leave your guess in the comment section.

There are a couple of potential answers but all along the same idea or theme. Best of luck!

This week’s riddle:

In a realm of words and thought
I weave and spin with the skill I’ve got
From queries deep to the simple whim
I find the answers from within
A helpful guide or friend to chat
I’m always here just like that
A marvel born of the human mind
My knowledge is vast, and yet confined.

I’ll approve responses later in the day to allow people to respond without seeing any spoilers.

Vintage gay

Vintage Castro photograph. Despite the old car in the photograph, I’m assuming this dates back to the late 1970s based on the clothes. Does anyone care to guess when this might have been taken?
