Raina Mermaid 🧜‍♀️🇨🇦

Manifesting opportunities to be creative

Just trolling the local transphobes throwing fits on posts about Transgender Day of Remembrance. Wild these posts are about remembering victims but CIS folks gotta be the biggest victim of all.

Absolutely mine is 4 and it stresses husband and I out already.

One of the biggest costs of the covid generation is the rise of incel manosphere influencers gaining a huge foot hold and filling the gap created by young men and boys being isolated online. Missing out on important real world interactions and social groups. We will pay for it for generations

New decade, here I come!

A happy Raina mermaid is perched at the bottom of a pool. She has a big smile. Her mermaid tail floats behind her. She is holding the number 40 to indicate her birthday

Guess whaaaaatttt

I turn 40 on Sunday. Currently drinking cheap 🇨🇦 wine, playing a detective game on Steam while juggling Pokemon Go, snuggled in a Starwars sweater with my official YouTube partner lamp lol. I'm an adult? Someone somewhere thinks this is cute right? 😂😘

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Just a fun clip of me playing around in the pool

My favorite take on 69 is a tired couple on a couch giving eachother a foot rub lol

Strange Harvest was better than Shelby Oaks

One month ago I was comfortably swimming in the ocean. Without a wetsuit. Still getting sunburned.

Today, it's the first snow flurries. It snows before my bday almost every year. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Really enjoy Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. Epic on big screen.

Bestie and I saw Shelby Oaks and are not getting the hype! We saw it early and made a spoiler free review that I think is too nice now lol. This is a side project and my YT for it is very new. Not same numbers as my main. But having fun!

I wish I got that. My hair stylist makes me feel nice 😅

Well made tv feels like such a treat. Welcome to Derry is just a really satisfying watch. Like Severance, Foundation, Mind Hunter, Hannibal etc shows (many more) that put in the effort

My bestie and my kiddo and I!! He likes to dabble vicariously in parenting. Didn't stick around for the candy crash lol 😆😆

The hardest part of being a mom isn't my kid. He's truly the easiest part. The hardest part is the collective expectations on us to do everything for everyone without appreciation or help. We are groomed to be like this and everyone around us groomed to feed into it.

I'm pretty sure Florence + the Machine's new Album is specifically for her fellow 39 year old ladies. Damn.

This is a test of how far the government can go before Albertans and all Canadians push back.

I feel so lucky to have my GP. As a person who leans a bit into the anxious side of healthcare thanks to many bad experiences, reassurance and validation goes a LONG way. He never makes me feel bad for asking things and I feel safe bringing up concerns. It's a gift! Should be the norm.

I got sponsored a glowy mermaid tail and yes I crammed myself into a tub to test it because I am an adult and do what I want.

I'm kinda in withdrawal now and wondering if I should just start over at the beginning

I'm training pilots, swimming in a fish tail, and a tiny 4 year old dictator runs my life....don't ask me how I ended up here I genuinely don't know. Genuinely believed id be a teacher by day and rockstar by night lol.

It took 72 hours broken out over the year but I've finished every Sherlock Holmes story (with added commentary by Stephen Fry). I've read individual stories over the years but tackled everything start to finish. Not bad for an exhausted working mom. When my kiddo is older I'll read them to him. ❤️

first half of Shelby Oaks was so good, but I wish they'd stuck with the documentary/found footage format. Second half was...same old same old, campy and redundant. That being said, Director has room to grow and a lot of potential I think. 6/10 for me but I'll check out his next thing.

YouTube video by Raina Mermaid Professional Mermaid Skills, Artistry, Tail Makers & More - Mermaid 101 Part 3

My latest video in my Mermaid 101 series is up!

This is a series of lectures I gave introducing people to the mermaid industry and hobby. It's great for newbies and people who are interested in the business or hobby side of things.

A common thread I am seeing across SAR in NS is terrible or no cell coverage limiting people's ability to call for help, and limiting helps ability to mobilize. I remember making a 911 call in Truro and couldn't keep a signal. Wasn't this an election promise at some point? To address it?
