A small travel teapot roughly three fourths the height of the frosty mugs all the WoT podcasts sell. It’s clear glass with a bamboo lid. There’s a little steeping chamber and a button to release the tea into the chamber below. Also included, three tiny cups.

I got some floofers for us
One large husky looking dog sitting on a dog bed glaring at you for not feeding him yet The same dog anxiously greeting you because he hasn’t seen you in years A white shit zu with a brown face and ears looking at you like you stole his favorite toy. The same white shit zu laying on a dog bed despondent that we’re out of treats

A healthy dish of turtle tracks ice cream. That consists of vanilla with caramel smears and chocolate bits that have caramel in them all covered with an enthusiastic drizzle of Hersheys syrup

My mother asks me about dinner.

I sent this.

Oops
A text that reads “I was rubbing off making spaghetti.”

President Trump just signed an Executive Order banning trans women from women's sports. I have written a note to my congressman asking him to oppose this vocally.

I would request you do the same.

#TransRightsAreHumanRights

Text of the note in alt-text.
Dear Rep Soto, I am writing to ask you to vocally oppose President Trump's executive order banning trans athletes from playing sports. The President ans his cronies are cowards who have demonstrated an inclination to back down when they face opposition, so please use your office to be vocal and visible. Trans women are the most oppressed demographic in a country with a great deal of competition for that title. I know there is an epic flood of stupid, evil shit you're dealing with, but please don't let this slip through the cracks. I am a constituent, [address redacted] and I vote on this issue. Thanks for your attention to this matter, Gregory Lynn

It’s a beautiful day here in the strip mall of America.
The scene from the chair near my mom’s front door. There’s a building blocking most of the view, yellow and kind of ugly. That’s mom’s guest house where I live. Above that are a couple palm trees and the blue sky and wispy clouds they put in the travel brochures. There’s a baby lizard running around but he didn’t want to be photographed. My weather app says it’s 73.

I'm rebuilding my life, and that means more writing. I'm off on an adventure. Wanna come along?

In an inset image is a book cover. It reads "To the Bloody End" across the top. Below that is a young white woman with long dark hair wearing a red shirt and black leather jacket.

Urban Fantasy. A lot of fairies. Everyone who is struggling to figure out who they are should read this series.

This is a gif with a bunch of happy stuff. Smiley face, confetti, that sort of thing. And words that read “Happy Yankees Elimination Day!”

This is the extent of the damage here in Kissimme.

A far cry from the beating the coast got.

Looks like #Milton lost power pretty quick after landfall.

The other day I felt like crap and needed to feed myself and my mother so I lit some signal towers and well…
It’s a text that reads: Rohan is approaching with your order…” I called for dinner and Rohan answered.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #548,443!

I feel old.
A square border that fades from a dark green in the upper left to an orange in the lower right. There's a butterfly logo just inside the upper left boarder. Text reads "Celebrating 10M users #548443." There's a stamp reading "Bluesky Elder Certified" in a circle around "First 10%" The bottom contains my username, Gregory Lynn, my handle @needfulwords.bsky.social, and "Joined Aug 11, 20023."

Sitting on a desk with random crap in the background is a cup o noodles with lightsaber chopsticks sticking out. One chopstick is red and one is blue and they are both lit up in glory.

The background is of some full bookshelves. Across the top are the words "Now Reading." In the center of the image is the cover of The Legend of Broken by Caleb Carr. The cover features a large white cat approaching the viewer, a jungle scene with a lake and a largish city in the background.

This is Weetamoe. She’s a medium to large black dog with a white front and some white around the muzzle.

She is beginning what turned out to be a very thorough tongue bath.

I have, for reasons, begun a #RedSox substack. I made this decision several days ago and, as always, my timing sucks.

#RIPWake

On a red backdrop featuring the Red Sox two-socks logo are the words "Tim Wakefield" in bold, and "We learned the other day that Tim Wakefield was facing a terrible disease. As I was writing a draft of this tribute, I received word that he passed away. I am broken."

Meet Luna
On a blue and white dog bed, there’s a black and brown dog with a white face and white legs giving you a sly sideways glance. She’s up to something.

Let’s party!
A black shih tzu with some gray around the muzzle, sitting on a brown couch wearing a yellow bandana with a yellow bow atop her head. She looks unenthused.
