"Oak galls! I'm going to make iron #gall ink!"
"We have ink," his mom said.
He gave her a silent stare.
"Are you going to make paper too?"
"You can do that too?" Ink forgotten, his excitement was palpable.
"Sure. Let me show you. We can find that other stuff later."
"You're the best!" (2/2) #wss366

"Do we have any iron sulfate?" the boy asked his mom.
"Say what now?"
"Iron sulfate!" he said excitedly. "I need some gum arabic too."
"I can't say as we have either of those things. What do you need them for?"
"Look!" he held up some round objects.
"Ew. What are those?" (1/2) #wss366

I got some pretty and inexpensive Jinhao fountain pens several years ago and liked them a lot. They're beautiful and write very nicely. Eventually, the black lacquer began to peel off the cap and then I lost one, so I decided to replace them. This morning, I inked them and am now writing a letter. Perhaps later, weather permitting, I'll take them and go #writeout.

me (pointing): They have a brown dog.

my wife: Did you say they have a groundhog?

I think it's called a tautology…

"What are these?" she asked.
The bear looked down and snorted.
"I'll give you a hint. They're called 'owl pellets.'"
"Owl… You mean…" Brunhilde snickered.
Later in the afternoon, she saw Forrest keeping watch.
"Did you have a nice lunch?" she asked, then giggled uncontrollably. (3/3) #wss366

"It's beautiful!" Brunhilde marveled at the cathedral-like space under the canopy.
She picked up the ball, but then saw a some oddly shaped things on the ground composed of hair and bones. Older ones had broken down, leaving little more than piles of skulls, femurs, and other bones. (2/3) #wss366

Brunhilde giggled as she chased the ball, but then it bounced past the briars at the edge of the forest. She stopped, not wanting to get her pretty dress caught on the thorns.
"Let me help," the bear said. He held the thorny bushes back and let her slip through to under the trees. (1/3) #wss366

Bebe crept into the lounge.
"When Bebe is sad," she said, holding out her stuffed bear. "Bebe tells it to Bellotrix."
Tau looked up, ears laid back, but then he brought them forward. He let Bebe tuck Bellotrix between his paws. He laid his head down on the bear and closed his eyes. (3/3) #wss366

"What's up with him?" Sisi whispered. "Did you see his hackles?"
"Yeah," Tutu whispered back. "He's pretty cranky today."
"It's gotta be something with…" Mumu looked both ways then mouthed, "L-A-M-B-D-A."
"It's no surprise," Zaza said. "You remember who she works for."
They all nodded. (2/3) #wss366

Then she also stepped inside and removed her shoes.
Totemo unbuckled her belt, provoking a gasp from Miss Dairy. She proceeded to remove her sidearm, place it in the gun safe, and re-buckle her belt.
"What?" she asked.
"N-nothing," said Miss Dairy, blushing. (3/3) #wss366

Lambda slipped past them, hopped up on the sofa, and sprawled out, tongue lolling.
Miss Dairy stood in the doorway, breathing in the scent, and looking around.
Totemo's apartment was spare and utilitarian, the walls displaying a simple matte color.
"Ojama shimasu," Miss Dairy murmured. (2/3) #wss366

Miss Dairy shivered with anticipation as Totemo Isogashii opened the door. She had been wanting see her apartment since forever and now it was finally happening!
"Make yourself at home," Totemo said. She took off her shoes and put on slippers. (1/3) #wss366

"the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa"

"Kriemhilt?" her mother said, with a note of alarm. "That little… Oh, alright. Alright! Get your shoes on."
Brunhilde skipped to the front door and permitted herself a small, secret smile as she buckled her shoes. (3/3) #wss366

Her mother sighed.
"I've just got so many things I was hoping to get done today."
Brunhilde turned away, defeated.
"I understand, Mother," she said. "Well… Kriemhilt was saying that she wanted to come over to play anyway." (2/3) #wss366

"Hey! Hey!" Brunhilde said, wearing her new princess dress. "Can we go to the Picnic Park today?"
"Again?" her mother said, exasperated. "Didn't we just go yesterday? And the day before?"
"Please?" Brunhilde said, wheedling. She shifted from foot to foot in her stocking feet. (1/3) #wss366
