This is the Florida survival guide you didn't know you needed. Kimball Love is taking us on a journey with her through the ups and downs of living in the Sunshine State through her memoir, Florida Is Not For Sissies!
About Florida Is Not For Sissies:
As much a personal memoir as it is a survivor’s guide, this work embraces an informed, and at times humorous, geography of culture, inherent dangers and disasters-you-can-count-on that define Ms. Love’s beloved Florida. Debunking at least some of the mythology that permeates the pursuit of happiness, or at least retirement here, she takes her task seriously and considers this work a public service as well as a love letter to her native state. This work was created specifically to educate and protect residents and visitors from the physical and social realities that can, and just might, show up with time spent in the Sunshine State.
About Kimball Love:
Kimball Love, a 7th generation Floridian, has devoted the vast majority of her working life to public service. Her diverse career includes stints at The National Geographic Society, Florida-based local, regional and state agencies and as an independent consultant. Her successful projects range from support for K-12 geographic education in several Southern states to managing disaster recovery and economic development programs. In addition, she coordiinated land acquisition and engineering projects for the restoration of the Loxahatchee River and the Indian River Lagoon.

Explore works from Tallahassee Museum collection in partnership with Audubon Florida, opening January 16 – May 31 in Phipps Exhibit Gallery on our campus.
2025 celebrates 125 years of Audubon in Florida. Formed to bring wading birds back from the brink of extinction, Audubon has been working for more than a century to protect birds because we know that the things birds rely on—healthy habitats, clean air, abundant fresh water, resilient coastlines—are the same things that people and other wildlife need to thrive. Birds are symbols and sentinels to measure our success, and they inspire us to work collaboratively and expansively throughout the hemisphere. In simplest terms, “what’s good for birds is good for the Earth.”

Drawing on FSU faculty expertise in ancient Latin American art history and archaeology the exhibition offers enriched discussions of the contexts in which ancient Moche and Nasca objects were deployed enriching the conversations about their meanings across time.
