A young woman training to perform as a mermaid at Weeki Wachee Springs in Florida. Lessons include breath control, underwater ballet, synchronized swimming, graceful movement, and underwater dining etiquette. Audiences watch the mermaids perform from an underground theater embedded in the side of the spring.

Skin Diving

Cadiz, 1967 The rich girls walked arm in arm, untouchable, 　big silver crucifixes below their necks, while the men 　in outdoor cafes smacked their lips at peasant girls too poor 　to forget their bodies. Each night my blond [sic] wife and I would go out 　for shrimp and baby eels or sherry and langostinas, and the men 　turned and turned, whispered, made gestures. 　At Carnival— amid the floats carried by penitents, 　the noise and the crowds— a furtive touching, Spanish boys pressing 　into what they couldn't have. Sundays it all exploded; the bulls dipped 　into the horses, the matadors into the bulls, then the streets filled again 　with a wild vicariousness. One day after El Cordobés had frightened 　and aroused us, putting his ear to the tip of a bull's horn, 　a Spanish friend taught me how to skin dive for moray eels. 　You had to anger them so they'd come at you, shoot the spear 　straight down their throats after the huge mouths opened. 　I had no desire to do such a thing, but I went down anyway 　and later watched him walk the streets with a moray around his neck, 　smiling, proud, terribly hurt when my wife stepped back, wouldn't take it, 　his gift, in her hands.

— Stephen Dunn, Local Time (1986)

So imagine That Schwingin' Gator From the Swamp, himself also doing diving instruction on the side, offering some snorkelling lessons to Ruff and Reddy in some isolated and otherwise unknown spring down Florida way ... and Wally manages not to make the very first Hanna-Barbera Productions byproducts nervous in any way in so teaching.

i’m always seeing zevrans in the tag that are like. well i guess you did colour his skin right but i know you used a white man as a reference for his actual features so i really dont think you deserve the credit

Did you know you can buy E-sims for people in Gaza, allowing them to continue connecting with the wider internet?

And that you can find directions on how to do that and get awesome art in exchange via the Cartoonist Cooperative's ‘Buy an E-Sim for Gaza’ Donation Drive? So via said drive I commissioned the incredibly talented @breebird33 for an icon of my DnD rogue, Elias Wentel. look at him. im love him. 🥲

I wonder if the Fenton parents would make something like an inhaled form of Ecto-Dejecto if they knew about Danny and Elle's status? It can be used as a spray or injection already in canon, but more options may be helpful for them.

We now join Mildew Wolf mentoring a few young campers in the skindiving experience at some northern Wisconsin summer camp

[Having led his group of largely neophyte campers into the lake's shallows, we find the following ensuing--]

MILDEW WOLF, snark obvious: Hello, campers ... at any rate, Uncle Mildew is going to show and lead you into what is bound to be a new twist on the usual swim routine--SKIN DIVING!

A CHEEKY CAMPER: Do you mean we're going diving--

MILDEW WOLF, cutting short the camper's remark: I assume the next word from his lips was going to be "naked." Regrettably, such a term as "skin diving" does not imply your going "into the raw" underwater necessarily; and besides, our experiences will involve [holding one such up for all to see] a mask/snorkel combination and flippers, which is a rather interesting way to see things beneath the water's surface, and besides, there is much fascination to be had in what lies beneath!

ANOTHER CHEEKY CAMPER: Does this mean we'll be seeing lake monsters during this dive you're talking about?

MILDEW WOLF: Don't be silly ... and besides, Scooby-Doo has exposed more lake monsters as Outright Frauds than you've had hot dinners! More than anything, our dive taster will be a close-to-shore such, yet one offering some interesting perspectives as well! At any rate, let's get the masks cleaned off with the "spit-and-rinse" technique demonstrated previously ...

reading this chapter i felt a light enter back into my body.. it was some kind of spiritual experience I MISSED JANE SO MUCH !!!! yes matt too BUT JANE😩😩😩😩❤️❤️❤️❤️ im so glad everythings been much better for you recently and hopefully even better in the future❤️❤️❤️❤️

THIS IS SO SWEET OH MY GOD, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I MISSED THEM TOO😭

I feel the same though. Being able to return to Jane writing-wise (cause she's now kinda always in my head wandering around) has been so amazing. I've missed Matt too, don't get me wrong (Especially TRT!Matt just because that's how I see him), but I can also at least get some Matt in Daredevil even if it's not TRT. I can't get Jane anywhere but in these stories. And it was one reason I continued thinking about it even when I had all that chaos going on. I'm just as much a fan of this world as anyone else, of Jane and all of these characters. I wasn't in a good place, and I absolutely had no brain power for it, but I still missed it so gd bad. I'm absolutely delighted to be back writing TRT again and that things are going better now. 🥰

suddenly getting really into indie perfumes and it's so so cute how people on the reddit thread (? I don't use reddit or know what it's called) call different brands "houses"
