Tried out a new look at yesterday's music festival! Still working on the wig and make-up since I'm not quite happy with them yet, but we're getting there!
Mermaid Zippy smiling sweetly at the viewer. Mermaid Zippy chomping on her hand fan like some sort of rabid selkie. Oh no!

Update: apparently they can't amend the budget as it stands, but a floor amendment can still be made during the vote to retain the office.

Call your reps!! And thank you to all 53 of you who have signed so far, seriously!!

So NC is finally getting ready to vote on a budget, but they're completely gutting the Office of Environmental Education. This is completely unacceptable!

If you live in NC, please consider signing this. And if you don't, please share it. The vote is happening this week.

Stay safe out there in the water, friends! Never swim alone, look out for each other, and learn to recognize the signs of drowning.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

BEWARE, MERMAIDS BEING SILLY
A screenshot of Mermaid Zippy's post, which reads "It's MerMay, and I have no idea what today's prompt is so I'm going with Silly Sunday!". Bluesky has automatically tagged it as graphic media. The image is Mermaid Zippy laying on the beach, faceplanting.

Hey friends, due to an emergency on my end of things, I won't be able to make it to MMC this year. I'll post the information I was planning to share during the panel once I've dealt with my situation.

I'm so sorry, everyone 😞
