Description:

But here’s the thing: thirty-one days is the challenge, and I showed up with twenty-nine shiny splashes of podcast sass. And in mermaid math, that still counts as a win.

TBM-2508.29 – Mermaid Minute – Underwater Dental Care

by

Meme-Podcast-Square

Description:

And flossing? Seaweed works fine, but we prefer jelly strands — extra slippery, biodegradable, and if you’re lucky, bioluminescent. Nothing says “fresh breath” like a glow-in-the-dark smile.

TBM-2508.28: Mermaid Minute -Storms We Cannot Swim Through

by

Meme-Podcast-Square

Description:

I’ll be honest, my brave little barnacles: I’m angry. I’m sad. And I’m confused. Because from where I swim, it looks like weapons are valued more than children. And that thought makes my saltwater boil.

TBM-2508.26 -Mermaid Minute Bonus: 19th Amendment

by

Meme-Podcast-Square

Description:

So today, we remember the women who marched, protested, and risked it all to crack open those voting booths. And we also honor the ones who had to keep fighting long after 1920, because justice doesn’t always arrive on time.

TBM-2508.25 – Mermaid Minute: Rainbow-Crosswalks and Ocean Truths

by

Meme-Podcast-Square

Description:

Painting over a rainbow doesn’t erase the people who live it, love it, and shine it every single day. That’s like trying to paint over the tide. The water’s just going to wash back in.

TBM2508.24 – MermaidMinute: The Gulf of Mexico

by

Description:

Here in the water, we know the Gulf’s true name because it’s written in the currents, sung in whale-song, and traced in the migrations of sharks. Try to rename a living body of water? That’s like trying to rename the moon and expecting the tides to care.
