TBM-2508.11 – Mermaid Minute – HOA or OCZ

by

Description:

I’m sorry, am I an Actual Woman of the Sea, or did I wake up in a land-walker HOA with kelp-based paperwork? Because this is giving suburban cul-de-sac energy.

TBM-2508.06 – Mermaid Minute: Drifting with Porpoise

by

Description:

I was floating in my favorite cove this morning. Waves just right, ambiance somewhere between spa day and kelp explosion—and I pick up this essay from the Coral Library. Title says, “The Philosophy of Drifting with Purpose.” Very serious. Very highbrow. Smells faintly of seagrass and smugness.
