Today's blend is The last of Girl With The Lions Tail by @dryadtea.bsky.social. The rich black tea, cinnamon, vanilla, and mallow blossoms are excellent with cream. I'm listening to Enchantra by @kaylsmoon.bsky.social #booksky #teasky 🫖🍵☕️ 📚🎧 💙📚 🌶📚 #romantsy #romancelandia

“What about…second breakfast?”

A black standard poodle looks slyly into the camera with her food begging eyes, her head slightly cocked to the side. She’s sitting on a green rug, wearing a rainbow collar.

Hey, y'all. I wanted to share email I got from Jeremiah today. If you bought/sent art supplies please understand the huge difference you are making in the lives of some men trying very hard to be better. And if you'd like to join in, he put the ultimate wish list in here. Instructions in next skeet

Thank you BLUE HERON FARM AND FRIENDS from all of the ones attending in the building futures foundation art \ hobby class. We appreciate all of the stuff 75 pictures of whats been taking place because of you all are on the way and Lisa will share them with everyone. This is a super wish list from all different guys involved in the program. Also I got approval from administration for my hobby class and its been Super popular. Guys are signing up like crazy and I have my class on the official class signup sheet which is awesome and all of the hard work has paid off. I cannot express what art does to people I see it in person but honestly it is a great thing. The thing about people in prison is that they have all the time in the world on their hands and dont know how to spend it because there is not much to do in this place. A lot of guys succumb to the hardness and get lost in the sauce in a way with negative things. That is the 70% of offenders that keep coming back. The 30% is the guys that are doing productive things with their time like working, attending groups an classes, working on the real issues they struggle with and ART. I have a huge passion for art and I do my classes with anyone who has the desire to have fun. Also 10 house is the recovery house and I go down$ $12:38 88° *5079% < anyone who has the desire to have fun. Also 10 house is the recovery house and I go down there and do a recovery\ substance abuses class on Thursday morning and we have a pop up art class afterwards every week. Most guys send the artwork to their children which is fire. I Have been locked up since I was 18 years old and I found what I am passionate about and I have been sharing it with everyone I encounter. I am now 29 years old and I want to share something with you from my heart. I would rather be in prison living the way I am living now Sober and clear minded for the rest of my life than go back to the way I was living when I was on the street. I do not have life without parole I get out in about 6 years but I feel freer than I have ever felt in my whole life. Thanks again.

Here comes @xesands.bsky.social terrorizing me again just in time for #spookyseason with her performance in the audiobook of "Spread Me" by Sarah Gailey.

Full disclosure: I have this on hold and haven't listened to it yet but I can tell by the cover it's going to be mucho creepy.
