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!!

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

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.

If you don’t have 2FA active on Bluesky, turn it on NOW. There’s an ongoing attack taking over accounts and spamming with links, which seems to add an “app password” for access externally. Already had one friend’s account compromised and I’m seeing others.

Hey friends! I'm planning a fun new project this year: MerMedia Mondays! The general idea is that I'll read or watch something that's either about or features merfolk or other aquatic creatures, then give you a quick summary and honest review. What books/movies/shows do you think I should feature?

Pro tip for finding mermaid tails online: if there isn't a manufacturer or brand name on the tag or anywhere on the monofin, don't bother with it. It doesn't matter if it's cheap, or if you think you're getting a good deal, that tail is going to be unreliable and unsafe! You deserve better!
