Marseille. Au MuCEM (côté Fort Saint-Jean), une petite expo : « Amazighes » sur les cultures berbères, kabyles, touareg et même guanches des Canaries. Adjectif au féminin car ces cultures sont particulièrement véhiculées dans la sphère féminine, moins acculturée.

- idole féminine assise – Arucas, Gran Canaria - 200-1400

- cape « akhnif » - Maroc, 1900-1950

- verrou - Maroc, XXe s.

- tapis Aït Wawzgit – Haut Atlas, Maroc, 1900-1950 ; métier à tisser – Sirwa, Maroc, fin XXe s

-  « pintaderas », sceaux pour teinter le corps ou des fibres textiles - Gran Canaria - 200-1400

Line comparison (I had this realisation on like my 7th rewatch of Atla)

Two villains, both voiced by Jason Isaacs, taunting the captured hero about the death of their whole people.

Also both episodes were directed by Dave Filoni (10 years apart!). Atla s1e13 “The Blue Spirit” and Swr s1e14 “Fire Across the Galaxy”

It felt cheap to just repost the clips so here have my rendition of the scenes. Drawings under the cut

(This one is actually a throwback to a note I wrote to myself about trauma management back in med school--interesting how things you study are sometimes useful...)

Trauma or anything remotely resembling trauma? ATLS.

Look for and fix the life-threatening stuff first!! Also don't neglect getting a Hx (from pt or collateral) and other info you can, even if it needs to be delayed until you've addressed your ABC's

If it's bleeding, you'd better have some gloves on because you're putting 1-2 hands on it (apply focused, direct pressure)

REASSESS after implementing interventions! (and keep reassessing)

I got bored of revision, so here’s a very brief list of injuries  to the trunk, if anyone’s interested. 

Will be doing management of these injuries, trauma protocols and traumatic cardiac arrest management at some point too.

Any requests, let me know!
