i just realized something...

Excalibur was already forged before king arthur drew it. likely then excalibur was forged for a previous welsh warrior centuries before him... meaning Excalibur isnt a medieval longsword... it's not even a roman gladius

but a 3rd century Celtic sword like this

Little bit of rum for my #barabrith. A traditional welsh cake - not usually spiced with rum but 🤷‍♀️ #IDNC 🤣

#ImNotHereToFitIn I was made to live loud, weird & witchy ❤️
Jumping in the sea every day fighting against pollution & sewage with @sascampaigns.bsky.social was exactly how I was meant to vibe 🥰

Just a mermaid at the beach caring about the water she swims in & helping Surfers Against Sewage fight against pollution in our water.

Trying to stay motivated, so I decided to do this one in a full evening dress 🤣🤣

Fabulous blue sky for this swim.
One of our swimmers climbed the anchor point to see the seaweed left by storm Amy.

Oh wow #bookreview #booksky #Medusa by Rosie Hewlett is a fabulous book. 5 stars 🌟 Definitely recommend.
Imagine if Medusa isnt the monster you think she is. Actually she is the survivor of violent sexual attack. Made into a Monster but that isn’t the narrative she asked for or wanted.

I’m not Palestinian. I’m not Israeli.
I’m not from Manchester. But I am human.
And being human means my heart breaks
when innocent people are killed no matter
where, no matter who. Grief isn’t political.
Compassion doesn’t need a side. If you
still have empathy, hold onto it.

Dip 2 of my Dip a Day for #SurfersAgainstSewage
Spontaneity is not my middle name, but there was an unexpected break in the weather, which spurred me to pull on a swimsuit & drive the 2 mins to my local bit of sea 🌊
15.6°C & fabulous 👌

We need to protect our environment & biodiversity ❤️ not to mention making water safer for us mermaids to swim in 🧜🏼‍♀️😀

RIP.
Jane Goodall was one of my inspirations. A woman who chose to study & care for animals & their environment and ignore the voices that told her she shouldn't or couldn’t.

Choppy waves create negative ions, which make us feel energised. These ions are believed to increase the circulation of oxygen in our bodies, boost mood, and alleviate stress and depression.
What a way to feel alive ❤️
