THE PITT 1.08 • 2:00 P.M.

[hugintheraven]

It wasn't just in the US that black people started the EMT services. In Britain, the Harrow and Wealdston train crash in 1952 was the worst peacetime rail disaster in UK history(112 dead, 340 wounded). A United States Air Force medical unit was among the first responders, and while most ambulances at the time(including this incident) just picked up anyone injured and rushed them to the hospital, the USAF people recognized that things were so bad this should be handled like battlefield medicine, treating and triaging on-site. 7 doctors and, crucially, 1 nurse, Abbie Sweetwine made up the USAF medical unit.

While ambulances were rushing off with "walking wounded" who had made it out of the accident first, the more seriously injured were still being dragged from the wreckage. The doctors who had rushed over with whatever they happened to grab treated those on-site. Meanwhile, Lt. Sweetwine handled triage and recorded what treatments had been performed by writing on the patients with lipstick and directed the returning ambulances which patients to take back to hospitals next. This was crucial for saving lives, and when the various UK organizations were figuring out how to make sure this sort of disaster didn't happen again, the role of ambulances as actual medical providers rather than as a fancy taxi service was one of the big realizations. It wasn't a wholly new concept, but news articles and pictures showing doctors on-site, crucially with Abbie Sweetwine following up with patients and covering basic care, gave a solid basis that the NHS could model it's Paramedic system after.

And Abbie Sweetwine was black. This was almost unheard of for the time, a black woman serving with the USAF, and the impact of a black woman being lauded for heroism throughout the UK on your average Joes cannot be overstated. She basically just did her job, continued doing it for the next few decades, and retired to her home state of Florida with some unusual medals on her wall, but she also changed a country and that's not something most people can say.

Fakémon: Voltewd

"The Electric Shrewd Pokémon"; Electric/Normal. No evolutionary line.

[Based on the North American Least Shrewd]

Click the 'Read More' to see the fakémon!

Voltewd, The Least Shrew pokémon.

Voltewd is a(n) common pokémon, especially during thunderstorms. They can channel electricity through their fur; so much in fact, that static often is visibly seen because their tiny bodies can't contain it all. In the winter, their fur becomes a pale yellow, when in the spring and summer months, it takes on a more robust yellow. These pokémon are most active during the night and is a favored pokémon among many starting trainers, and is a common household pet though illegal to own in the Pechar region as such.

Voltewd is Electric/Normal type, and can mostly be found in coastal plains areas, where flat lowlands meet the ocean. They are commonly found in wooded or grassy areas among the plains, and tend to harbor more around power plants and large power line structures.

While Voltewd are common, they are shy of humans and try their best to remain hidden away from them.

I remember when I first found out the truth about “Somali pirates” I got chills because of how horrific the truth was and how insanely creepily well the media had twisted the situation. Every single fucking article making it seem like these “pirates” were just after money or something holding innocent people hostage and I never gave it a second thought, why would I? There was no indication that people were trying to legitimately fight off disgusting imperialism that left nuclear waste in their waters, that over 300 people have died from radiation sickness, that Europeans have been stealing Somalia’s seafood because they overfished their own waters and the indigenous fisherman are starving and so these “pirates” emerged to deal with those stealing their country’s natural resources. The truth is enough to make anyone sick to their stomachs.

This is a great article about the truth about Somali pirates, in case anyone wants a source.

DeviantArt used to be the place I put new poses up three times a week. It was the best place to get consistent updates of new poses from me.

BUT NOW! I have a self-hosted gallery on AdorkaStock.com 🥰 It's a WIP (and there's a lot of work to do) but I like having my poses on my own site. 😌

You can sign up for my newsletter and get an email digest of new poses each week or once a month so you don't have to always remember to go check for what's new. My long term goal is to have this gallery completely replace my DA archive. Reasons for this move include: - DA's enthusiastic support for AI - DA removing categories making it nearly impossible to search for CC licensed images - not being beholden to DA's future random TOS and API changes

Your support helps with this goal. ♥ Ways to support: - Share my work with other artists! - Support me on Patreon for just $1/mo - Shop my Kofi store for pose ref packs and merch Get all my links at my Link Hub. 🥰 Thanks so much for your support and happy drawing!

Hey, is it okay if you give me some tips on how to use Procreate? I'm most likely going to get an Ipad for Christmas, along with Procreate, and moving to another art program is hard 😅, plus, so I don't get confused on what to do lol

Ooh that’s awesome! 😍😍😍 I hope you get it! Procreate is AMAZING. Once you get used to it, it’s super easy to use. It’s not all that great with animation (just a bit glitchy when it comes to saving them), so I would still use a different app for that. But there are a bunch of really amazing brushes, so I definitely suggest playing around with them and figuring out which ones best fit your art style. 😁

Here are some brushes I personally love using:

•The Monoline brush for inking and line art

•Round Brush for coloring in larger areas

•Brush Pen for lines that taper off at the end, like hair or facial features.

•Dove Lake for texturing things like plants and trees

•Currawong for texturing walls and buildings

•I use Twisted Tree with a super light opacity to texture anything made of wood, like tree trunks or rafters.

•Clay on a lower opacity is good for texturing anything made of stone

•Wildgrass on a lower capacity can be used to make some cool textured grass

•And of course, I love to use anything in the Luminance folder to make things SHINY AND SPARKLY 😜🤣

Those are just a few of my favorites. There are some really cool features in the top tabs, too. A Drawing Guide, blur features, liquifying tool. You can duplicate layers, or change their opacity; all sorts of things that I’m sure different drawing apps have, but they’re super easy to use on here! And so far, I haven’t discovered very many glitches with the app (one app I used to have would crash on the regular, and I would lose an entire drawing I spent hours on. But as many years as I have had Procreate, it has only crashed two or three times and my drawing was exactly as it was when I went back into it).

One tip I would tell you to use that I do all the time is quick erasing: Tap the screen with two fingers at once, and it will erase your last action. You can do it numerous times to erase however many of your previous actions that you want. You can also redo those deleted actions by tapping the screen with three fingers at once. Just something useful that took me a while to learn about. 😊

Oh, and when it comes to saving a drawing, I tend to save it as a PNG; better quality.

If you ever have any more questions about it, feel free to ask me! 💜
