In demeanor, Clara Barton was sensitive, warmhearted and she was patient. And while she spoke in a soft voice and often with a smile, she was persistent; there was "fire and force to her character."

Born on Christmas Day in 1821 in North Oxford, Massachusetts, Clara was shy as a child. To help overcome her timid nature, her parents suggested teaching as a profession. Clara followed their guidance, becoming a teacher while in her late teens.

After over a decade of teaching, she opened the first school in Bordentown, New Jersey. What started as a classroom for a few kids soon taught many of the town's children. A school board formed as the school grew. And soon, they added a principal, as the committee felt leading such a large educational organization was a role not befitting for a woman. The stresses of this change led to health ailments for Clara and eventually to her leaving.

She moved into a new field in 1855, taking a role as a clerk in the patent office, the first woman to receive such an important federal clerkship and a salary equal to the men. But once again, she faced much discrimination. Often abused and slandered by the men she worked with, Clara was fired from her role the following year.

With the breakout of the Civil War, Clara wanted to get involved. She went to the local railroad station and began nursing soldiers as they arrived. She did whatever she could to soothe the soldiers with their pain, including assisting with their treatment, managing supplies, reading to them, writing letters to family for them, and supporting them to keep their spirits up. Eventually, she would also take roles on the battlefield, putting her life in danger. In one case, a bullet went through the sleeve of her dress, killing the man she was treating. But she would write in a letter of her life as a nurse in war, “I shall remain here while anyone remains, and do whatever comes to my hand. I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them.” And for all her effort, people called Clara the "Angel of the Battlefield."

After the war, Clara learned that many family members of missing soldiers were contacting the War Department. These letters were going unanswered. She contacted President Lincoln, who appointed her into the role of corresponding with family and friends of people missing. She and her team would reply to 41,855 inquiries and help locate over twenty-two thousand missing men over a few years.

Life then took her to Europe, where she came across the Red Cross organization while relaxing to recover from poor health. Collaborating with leaders in the organization, she would eventually take on a leadership role herself and drive expanding the operation to the U.S., where she led for over twenty years until she resigned in her mid-80s.

Her niece, offering a perspective on how Clara viewed life, shared this wisdom that Clara offered her: "Be always calm, my child. Keep yourself quiet and in restraint, reserve your energies, doing those little things that lie in your way, each one as well as you can, saving your strength, so that when God does call you to do something good and great you will not have wasted your forces and strength with useless strivings, but will be ready to do the work quickly and well - go slowly, my child, and keep ready."

Clara passed away from pneumonia at the age of 90.

HELLO YES, POKEMON SCARLET AND VIOLET GAYS

I don't think I have to "read more" this drawings, they are not really spoilers about the story, I will tag it tho

This game has some of my favorite gimmicks ever: optional character interaction.

Like I never expected the teachers to be some of my favorite characters??? But they are amazing??? I love them and their struggles of their everyday life???

The great fandom council says the old men ship is EPHEMERALARTSHIPPING which I love <3

But it hasn't decided on a Drenda and Miriam name so I suggest HEALTHYSANDWICHSHIPPING because it's a sandwich that when its well done doesn’t kill people yaay

consider supporting me on my KO FI

Hermione, in both canon and often in fanon, seems to have predominately male friendships and kind of difficult time building strong relationships with women (Lavender, Fleur, etc.). Even initially with Luna, Hermione was particularly skeptical and had a rocky start.

What's your theory on why this is?

Hermione, especially in the early books, is written by an author who treats her unfemininity as a quality that makes her different from, and superior to, other girls. Hermione is self-serious, intellectual, and decisive, which are classically masculine virtues, which Hermione (and the author) are aware of; and so Hermione eschews femininity in any number of ways. The other girls at Hogwarts, meanwhile, with the exception of Ginny, are often portrayed as shallow, vapid, flirty (count the number of times Lavender or Parvati "giggles" or goes "oooh"), hyperemotional, and boy-obsessed. Meanwhile, Hermione is intense, driven, and oblivious to other people's feelings — in many respects "boyish." Not until the later books, when both the characters and their writing starts to mature, is humanity offered to people like Cho Chang or Fleur Delacour — and even then, Lavender's arc in sixth year is this remarkably mean subplot where a sixteen-year-old girl becomes the butt of endless jokes because she has the audacity to... act silly around her crush. (If you think "Won-Won" is a bad nickname, you need to go see what actual teens in relationships call each other, because I'm telling you, Ron has it easy.)

The narrative wants you to know that Hermione is special, and her specialness is underscored by her difference from other women. In canon, she buys into that specialness, which leads to a degree of disdain for other girls that's fueled by a superiority complex and internalized misogyny. I say this as someone who adores her, and adores her in her complexity: Hermione has trouble forming friendships with women because she believes that she is Not Like Other Girls, and her author agrees with her.

#it's hard to overstate how much of that characterization is unconscious #an author can say she's a feminist and that she believes all women can be smart and powerful people #and she can say 'everyone can be hermione' and mean it #but there's still a subconscious association of femininity with inferiority that pays in how few women get depth or complexity #outside playing archetypal roles of: mother. grandmother. teacher. nurse. #bellatrix lestrange actually would have been a great counterpoint to hermione because she's hermione's parallel #incredibly accomplished witch at the right hand of a leader of a movement #but instead she's just a crazy mass murderer. okay go give us nothing!

Your blog has become the "let's take ibuprofen together" meme for all the GERDed nerds around (affectionate)

It's just not ibuprofen but pantoprazole for us

happy anniversary scarlet/violet. I'm so happy that these games exist because they essentially and completely re-invigorated my love for the series!

A while back, on my personal I posted these silly line camera edits of my most favorite characters from SV and was surprised that they were a hit (some characters more than others). Here's a compilation of my most favorite edits (including some I haven't posted here yet), enjoy!

#but most of all everyone say thank you SV for giving us nurse miriam #it just occurred to me that i never made edits of ryme and nemona and honestly... i'm disappointed in myself. i should remedy that #and i also really wanna do edits for kieran carmine and briar too hgggh #pkmn sv #pokemon scarlet and violet #pokemon scarlet violet #pokemon scarvi #pokemon sv #mine #scarlet violet #pokemon miriam #miriam pokemon #arven pokemon #pokemon arven #rika pokemon #pokemon rika #elite four rika #pokemon larry #larry pokemon #gym leader larry #elite four larry #jacq pokemon #pokemon jacq #professor jacq #raifort pokemon #pokemon raifort #iono pokemon #pokemon iono #gym leader iono

TFP Shattered Glass, but June and Fowler are swapped.

I've never seen anybody do that, usually the humans stay the same as baseline except Silas and Fowler are sometimes swapped.

Or maybe up it a notch and swap all three of them? June as a government agent, Fowler as M.E.C.H's leader, and Silas as a nurse? Or nurse Fowler, agent Silas, and M.E.C.H leader June?

You know, that would be fascinating because i admit i have a tendency to forget the humans whwn i mess with shatteree glass, but swapping all three of their roles up would be so fascinating as all fucking hell

I'd be so here for MECH Leader!June actually she'd be so fucking cool

#maccadam #transformers #tfp june #tfp silas #tfp fowler #i think it makes most sense that sg silas be the government agent. probably. #nurse fowler just seems like it'd be fun to me because it'd make us wonder how he got involved #aaaaand mech leader sg june sounds kinda badass #transformers shattered glass #transformers prime #and if the kids are sg how do their personalities change (if of course we're not making them inexplicably evil children) #(which we can do if we wanna lean into the comedy angle) #au name to be decided

Violet updates:

- Dendra and Miriam are IN LOVE, you can’t tell me otherwise

- Dendra is also bffsies with Tulip, further cementing my thought that she and Miriam are together. Tulip = beautiful cute girl, Miriam = beautiful cute girl… Dendra has my type and taste in girls

- Had to fight Tulip twice because I wasn’t healed properly the first time lmao

- Glaseado Gym’s leader needs some serious therapy for that deep seated PTSD they have 🥺 And they need a lot of hugs.

- Ryme was SO COOL!!! I love her and Tyme!!!!

- Had to fight Ortega twice too, this time because I challenged him the first time around while being too underleveled. He’s sweet, if bratty.

- I also finished and passed every class through to their finals!!! And once I do the rest of Starfall Street, I want to finish the Pokémon League before doing the Path of Legends finale with Arven.

im sorry UTS, but WHAT on fucking earth is "creative intelligence and innovation"????? and why on earth would anyone studying nursing or midwifery need "entrepreneurship and innovation" as a double degree??

#life #about me #shut up ilona #uni #uni life #uts is uni of technology sydney btw #thought i'd have a look today at what courses they offer to see if they got rid of that library course i was going to do back in 2019 #and my GOD. reading the subject outlines for the “creative intelligence and innovation” subjects...... #....were literally just vague asf corporate-speak gobble-de-gook for 'system thinking and innovation leaders of tomorrow' #what the fuck does that have to do with nursing or midwifery??? #WHY would you add another like 16 to like 20 grand to a nursing degree with this useless ass diploma of corporate brainrot??? #like motherfucker. do you really WANT a theranos 2.0 or an elizabeth holmes 2.0??? #bc that's what you're opening up the world to with this bs 'creative intelligence and innovation' course.... #..... paired with many of the egotistical high school mean girls that apparently go into nursing and other medical field careers... #....and also entrepreneurship.... or at least in my opinion anyway #you can also pair it with science which also to me could lead to sketchy shit tbh
