Do you want to know the best way to shellebrate #InternationalMermaidDay ? Pay a mer!!! I personally am trying to figure out a way to keep showing up and delivering content (because it costs money to make) and I think I'm going to need your help. People think that because I have a lot of followers or because I'm on Netflix and Prime that that means I have money, but it hasn't worked out that way for me. However if 2% of you could chip in like $3 a month that would be life altering. It took a lot for me to get the courage to ask for money. It would be easier for my ego for me to just quit. However folks tell me that my content has made their lives better, so if this has value you to you, please chip in and show up for me. I love and respect public radio and they have membership drives all the time. This is my version of that. If I'm not your favorite mer please on International Merfolk Day, throw some money at your favorite mer or favorite mer business. It's hard for us to navigate your human economy. @The Blixunami and @Sammy the Thembo could use some support @Mermaid Tiva is physically and financially recovering from medical stuff @mermaidmontara is running a cat rescue that costs $ @Mermaid Echo is bringing a mobile mer tank to the Midwest to bring educational programming to kids and tank experience to other mers, getting the tank up and running costs $$$ Send some money to the cons to help them support our communities see how you can contribute to the upcoming @Californiamercon or @AfroMermaid.co Shop a mer maker like @Kariel Level up your Mer Career with mentorship from @Mermaid Elle | Elle Jimenez and certifications from @Mermaid Tasha @Mermaid Luna @Mermaid Freedive
