!! HELP SAVE A HISTORIC LIGHTHOUSE!!
as many of you may know, i've spent the past two summers working at a functioning 19th-century lighthouse/museum- swallowtail lighthouse in grand manan, new brunswick.
the lighthouse itself was first lit in 1860, and while it is great shape all things considered, we've been renovating for the past decade. specifically, some of the shingles are 90 years old and rotting, others have been blown away or damaged by storms due to the location at the mouth of the bay of fundy. the process of re-shingling is time-consuming and expensive; our stretch goal is $50k which will cover the labour and the shingles which have been chosen to maintain the property's heritage status.
the national trust of canada is holding their next great save contest, where 10 heritage properties compete for a prize of $50k. swallowtail is currently (as of 1/25/23) in third place based on votes, and it would be extraordinarily helpful to the lighthouse and the island's tourist economy if we could get that grant.
what can you do?
the next great save contest is running until february 22nd. to contribute, all you have to do is go to their website and vote for swallowtail lighthouse. it is completely FREE to vote, and voting is open internationally. you can vote once a day until the 22nd.
you can learn more about swallowtail's community impact and restoration goals here, and we also have a video showing the extent of the shingle damage
please vote and share with fellow lighthouse aficionados. it would really mean a lot

So Mermay is right around the corner…
…what I’m saying is it’s a good time to talk about eel mer AUs again.
Oh hey it is!
Man, I'm still so into submarine pilot Hal Jordan with his crew of green submariners who contract out for the army and do top secret stuff underwater. I'm picturing all the GL's as expert divers who do search and rescues and treasure hunting in their down time and bomb defusal/trench scouting/spying for the army when on contract.
I don't even think this is a real thing but I'm picturing them all in little green mini subs. Like individual ones. Like fighter jets but subs.
Anyway, they're out on a job because the bigger army subs have been getting static interference from an area underwater and they need the experts to go check it out.
What they don't know is that the static interference is coming from Barry, local electric eel mer, who is suddenly stuck in one location because he's got a small child to look after and hunt for.
