My brain: You have so many tight deadlines. So many things on your weekly schedule. So many important jobs. You have to get important work done!!!

My hands:

#please this is like my new favorite thing #back from the dead to share this and then disappear again

This is a beautiful pencil test by my friend Tina Nawrocki, you might know her from her work on the ‘Cuphead’ game. She is making a hand drawn animated short about a Polish mermaid called ‘Syrenka: Legend of the Warsaw Mermaid’. Hand drawn animation is very important to me - nothing else seems as magical as drawings that come to life! If you love hand drawn animation as much as I do, please consider supporting her crowdfunding campaign. Time is running out!

Okay regarding the last ask about snake bites; I'm bitten by an unknown snake while camping in the middle of nowhere--what are my best options? (I may or may not be gathering information for fanfiction I'm writing, shhhh)

Depends on if you're in Australia or not!

If you're not, then follow the advice in that post to a T. Keep the bite below your heart if it's on a limb, avoid compression bandages or tourniquets like the plague, and try to get yourself to civilization as fast as possible. In a lot of places, there's a very good chance you were bitten by a viper, especially if you were bitten at night, so it'll feel awful but you'll have plenty of time to make it to a hospital. If you have cell service, emergency radio, etc., call an ambulance! Being able to identify the snake is helpful, but if you can't, then your hospital will have antivenin for local species and they'll just give you everything.

If you're in Australia and you were bitten by a venomous snake, it was 100% an elapid so things are a bit more dire. This is the one exception in the world where you should use a compression bandage if you know how - they're disastrous for viper bites, but you know you weren't bitten by a viper. Keep the bitten area as still as you possibly can - if it's on a limb and you know how to make a splint, do that. If you're not alone, have whoever's with you get help and you stay put - avoid moving as much as possible. You will still usually have time to make it to antivenin, but knowing what to do is essential when you're stuck far away from help because elapid bites just don't have the same kind of wiggle room as most viper bites. Calling for help is absolutely crucial, and there's not a lot of time to do it if you're out in the bush hours away from antivenin, but if you can keep yourself still and keep the bite area immobilized, you increase your odds of survival! You won't need to worry as much about identifying the species in Australia, of all places, because the hospital you make it to will know your local species and there are quite a few polyvalent antivenins.

It’s a shame that there isn’t a popular gummy snack out there that’s shaped and colored like an eastern newt with how… gummy-like they are

#I love newts! #support artists #I held one of these once and he was wonderful
