155 SWF Gathering 28 June 2025

[12:00 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: Welcome to Safe Waters Foundation weekly aquatic support gathering. My name is Miranda. I will be leading today’s meeting.

Welcome new and old aquatics and friends!
[12:01 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: Safe waters foundation (SWF) is a not-for-profit group supporting the development of harmony and safety for merfolk and aquatics of second life, we bring together designers, retailers, sims, merrow, mermen, mermaids, siren, aquatics and lovers of same.
[12:01 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: People seem to arrive late and depart early. Please don’t be offended but as leader I will try to keep the meeting going. We don’t repeat things for latecomers – a log is posted on our blog after the meeting. This is not a place for public debate – this is a helpful place. we all help each other slive an aquatic lifestyle.
[12:01 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: Because we usually have good attendance – please take a moment to remove all extra attachments and huds. We’d like you to dress low lag. Big poofy hair and jewelry are big culprits, as are bubbles, script things, huds, and such. If we all cooperate, more merfolk can participate with less crashing. Thank you for your help with this.

[12:03 PM] Tam Amat (tamzin2468 Resident): new thing for me was coming for the first time

[12:05 PM] Tam Amat (tamzin2468 Resident): oh that sounds like a great thing to aim for
[12:05 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: that would be awesome!
[12:05 PM] Brianna Sage Lunenscale (Brimstone2003 Resident): Didn’t know that was a thing IRL
[12:06 PM] Lily Fairelander: I’m on west coast they are a bit far for me XD
[12:06 PM] Rhodan Fishbottoms (Rhodan Fishtail): When you sit still, your body sends all the energy it is not using to your immune system, running it ragged and increasing your risk of infections and all that. Moving is good!
[12:06 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: we’re happy for you Lily, I hope you achieve your goals
[12:07 PM] Lily Fairelander: Thank you! 😀
[12:07 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: okay I better swim us on
[12:07 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: Our priority today is support – we’re all here to help each other, cause we’re awesome like that.

okay so the order is my introduction-done, introduce the new folks, sharing questions, ideas, and support to help each other-ie; tails, hair, bodies, AOs, requests, etc, then PSAs and promotion of events, sales or what ever else needs to be shared, then I close us out with our goals, maybe a group hug and picture.

So here we go!!

[12:12 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: sea turtles are my heroes for that reason
[12:12 PM] Lily Fairelander: I heard that they have a crunchy texture when eating them.
[12:12 PM] ?creamy? (creamydeliciousness Resident): Tam would you like to introduce yourself and tell us what attracted you to sealife

[12:13 PM] ?creamy? (creamydeliciousness Resident): excellent
[12:14 PM] Lily Fairelander: ?
[12:14 PM] Lily Fairelander: Welcome to the pod
[12:14 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: topics often include tails, clothes, aos, places of interest
[12:14 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: if you have any pressing questions about merfolking in sl now is a great time to ask.
[12:14 PM] Brianna Sage Lunenscale (Brimstone2003 Resident) raises her hand
[12:15 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: shoot
[12:15 PM] Rhodan Fishbottoms (Rhodan Fishtail): Our tech support is the only one where liquid damage doesn’t void your warranty
[12:15 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: -=giggles=-
[12:15 PM] Brianna Sage Lunenscale (Brimstone2003 Resident): I got the Tala AO, and was wondering I see others with it and not exactly moving around as energetically as mine does
[12:15 PM] Lily Fairelander: I use it
[12:16 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: hrm… anyone able to help with that?
[12:16 PM] Brianna Sage Lunenscale (Brimstone2003 Resident): Like, when I’m idle, I am moving around a lot
[12:16 PM] Lily Fairelander: Sometimes you look like you have places to go when still
[12:16 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: aos often have stands
[12:16 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: is that what you mean?
[12:16 PM] Lily Fairelander: The stand makes you move a bit.
[12:16 PM] ?creamy? (creamydeliciousness Resident): some tails have a built in ao that needs to be turned off
[12:17 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: or are you just in swim mode standing
[12:17 PM] Brianna Sage Lunenscale (Brimstone2003 Resident): Nah like, I’m idle, and my animations are idle swims where I slowly swim around in a circle, do a little loop
[12:17 PM] Lily Fairelander: yeah that is normal
[12:18 PM] Rhodan Fishbottoms (Rhodan Fishtail): I don’t use the Tala AO myself, but many AOs have a setting where it cycles through different ‘standing’ animations (floating for merfolf) a lot of people turn that off and choose a more subdued stand as their default pose and stick to it.
[12:18 PM] Brianna Sage Lunenscale (Brimstone2003 Resident): But I’ve seen other people be completely idle with the same AO when they’re standing
[12:18 PM] Lily Fairelander: like this
[12:18 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: oh like mine then. like they said there could be an ao in the tail that is doing it
[12:18 PM] Lily Fairelander: There is a ao in the Aii tail that you have to turn off
[12:19 PM] Brianna Sage Lunenscale (Brimstone2003 Resident): It’s always off lol
[12:19 PM] ?creamy? (creamydeliciousness Resident): I has a question
[12:19 PM] Lily Fairelander: when you log in it turns on so you have to toggle it
[12:19 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: Briana were we able to help?
[12:20 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: creamy whats your question?
[12:20 PM] Brianna Sage Lunenscale (Brimstone2003 Resident): I think I’ma fiddle around with it when done 😀
[12:20 PM] ?creamy? (creamydeliciousness Resident): well,I’m trying to add eel animations to my tala hud. First do I have to make a copy of the hud and delete all the tala animations, Then add the eel ones?
[12:21 PM] Fawn Cobalt: I would like to ask a tech support question after Creamy, if I may?
[12:21 PM] Lily Fairelander: Make a copy, edit the notecard with the new animations you add in.
[12:21 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: sure
[12:21 PM] Lily Fairelander: I have the eel
[12:22 PM] ?creamy? (creamydeliciousness Resident): so I keep the tala animations evenb though there is no LOAD feature in the hud?
[12:22 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: what I do is vamp my aos, take the animations I want and add them to the zhao I have
[12:23 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: mine has a load feature woiuld you like me to send it?
[12:23 PM] ?creamy? (creamydeliciousness Resident): yes pls

[12:25 PM] Fawn Cobalt: thanks, MIranda 🙂
[12:25 PM] Fawn Cobalt: I have a tech support question. Not sure if this is “off topic” but does anyone know where I can get a ferry boat that is scripted to travel across sims? On Marketplace I only see ones that are scripted to travel between places on one sim. I am not sure if I would have to custom script it? If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!
[12:26 PM] Lily Fairelander: I keep seeing the one that passes by above us.
[12:26 PM] Brianna Sage Lunenscale (Brimstone2003 Resident): Same
[12:26 PM] Fawn Cobalt: yeah I was thinking about that one
[12:26 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: you could get the aley jittney sub
[12:26 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: and thats free
[12:26 PM] Lily Fairelander: Not sure if that helps
[12:26 PM] Fawn Cobalt: aley jittney sub?
[12:27 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: well thinking you could put it in one of her boats then you just plot the course

[12:45 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: they do seem to love that
[12:45 PM] Brianna Sage Lunenscale (Brimstone2003 Resident): But yea, we’re still sort of working out the details of being a weekly thing, or a once a month thing!
[12:46 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: and its better than being followed by sea going dinosaurs

This meeting is now adjourned. Remember our SWF goals:

  • to assist those considering an underwater life
  • to increase awareness in the general public that there is an underwater option
  • to make mer resources (events, projects, groups, retailers, sims, designers) visible and easily accessible
  • to assist, as possible, with the viability of mer resources so they may continue to be available to the community
  • to promote the conservation of rl oceans, lakes and waterways and the nature that relies on them

Now go mingle and explore! Thanks for joining us this day!!
