The Guidelines Haven’t Been Violated.

I have been looking through my blog and found multiple posts that have been tagged as containing Adult Content and have had the option to review removed.

These are posts that depict a pod of Orcas swimming and an artistic depiction of a mermaid with her breasts exposed. Their own guidelines state that artistic depictions are acceptable.

You are failing your community Tumblr and you will watch them all leave if you don’t think about how your bot has no idea what it is doing.

Anthea Hancocks, YMCA Victoria: Remove the ban on mermaid tails at YMCA Victoria Swimming Pools

The YMCA in Victoria, Australia, has banned mermaid tails, which swimmers wear over their legs, at more than 50 of its pools throughout the state. In a statement, the community organisation said the ban had been made for safety reasons. "Mermaid tails create unnecessary risk to our patrons by restricting swimming ability, especially for weak swimmers and children," the statement read. "It's possible parents have purchased the product without realising the safety risk." But the mermaid tails are used by some adults who are annoyed they have been banned from swimming using the fins. Daniel Hayward called it "a bad day to be a Merman" after he was barred from swimming at Brunswick Baths before Christmas while using his mermaid tail. In a post on the YMCA pool's Facebook page, Mr Hayward said staff at the pool acknowledged he was a strong swimmer but would not let him swim using the tail in case children wanted to follow suit. "So I get punished and held back from doing something that I truly enjoy, that is great exercise and is causing no harm to anyone because a parent might buy their child a mermaid tail without care or responsibility?" he wrote. We would love for this ban to be replaced with a tail test consisting of a swimmer in their tail competently completing a quick release of their tail or monofin, swimming a minimum of 25 meters lap and treading water for a minimum of 5 minutes, before they are allowed to swim freely in their tails and children should always be supervised in the water, with or without tails!

So 6 months after that video that kicked off the banning of tails in Canada and the US, the state of Victoria has leapt onto this.

It’s seriously effecting myself and many other local mers, whether they’re just recreational or not. Clients have been emailing friends of mine and soon they’ll just stop asking.

Please, we need your help to lift this ban. It’s not just YMCA pools now, but other local councils are banning them too. I worry the pool where I swim regularly [who know my confidence and the precautions I take] will also start banning tails and monofins.

My biggest concern is that not only will this hurt any potential business and leave me with 6 odd months of the year that I can’t swim, but that it will drive people learning to swim in mertails to the beach where harmful riptides and currents and strong waves could seriously hurt them.

The Melbourne Mers are coming together to try and help people understand. Please sign this and share it, cause it’s a start.

Thank you

Friendly seasonal reminder

Don’t keep lilies in your house if you have cats.

They will die.

Even if they just breathe in the pollen. Or get it on their fur. They will fucking die. Do not do it.

“… the most toxic household plants for cats is the common lily. In fact, eating as little as two or three leaves from the flowers can result in liver failure and, if left untreated, can have a fatal outcome for cats.” (Source: PetMD) 

Please take care of your feline friends!
