Commissions open! And they’re dirt cheap!

An aspiring furry artist and a failed aircraft engineer. Currently trying to build and audience and dreaming of drawing furry stuff for life.

Ok, so, basically, this one has a very funny backstory. This was originally a fully colored piece with cool and more detailed expressions. This, unfortunately, went nowhere as I suck at graphic design.

Generally speaking, my dislike for Trump administration comes from them being “anti-efficient”. For example- you talk of a military on the downturn, that Russia/Iran/China are catching up to you in terms of military capabilities.

A curious memory- back when I was in high school, our tradition teachers (I studied in a school with Jewish elements) had assembled a debate of sorts between the proponents of evolution and those believing in the creationism.

This is all I have to say on the matter, if you have anything you’d like to add feel free to say so!

These days, there are plenty of news reports of a severe lack of ATC’s, which would directly lead to overworking and fatigue.

Secondly, the problem of ATC’s being overworked and underpaid in the US is a very serious and a very old one. In 1981, they have attempted a nationwide strike which (rather ironically I have to admit, considering DCA is named in honor of Reagan) was struck down by the Reagan administration.

military air traffic was passing through this area fairly frequently, this was a disaster waiting to happen.

Firstly, why was the Black Hawk there at the first place? DCA isn’t used for military traffic like some other civilian airports and Fort Belvoir isn’t even that close to the area, so why on earth was it flying in the middle of DCA approach? Who allowed it to fly there and why? Considering that

because of this.
So what combination of events causes this disaster? The definitive answer will only come when the NTSB releases their investigation report but for now we can only guess. Still, I think that several “points of failure” can be identified.

So, this isn’t an event where you can pin the blame on one single thing going wrong- while this could be done like 60 years ago, back when stuff like DC-10 crashing because maintenance guys kept detaching and attaching engines for maintenance happened, nowadays aircraft disasters rarely occur

overlay they cover each other, “covering” each other’s respective weaknesses and thus preventing the unwanted events from occurring. Well, that’s what’s supposed to happen in theory.

Firstly, allow me to introduce you to the Swiss Cheese model. You can find a much more detailed explanation on Wikipedia or something but basically it means that multiple human systems are like slices of Swiss cheese laid on top of each other- while each of them has a few holes, but when they

including overworked ATC personnel and issues with flight plans.

As someone with experience in aircraft engineering and in working with people who are retired military (including ATC’s), I feel that the main reasoning behind this disaster is certainly not the DEI policies but rather a certain combination of multiple factors,

In no way am I claiming authority other what I’ll explain below. If someone more qualified and/or with information countering what I say can correct me please do!

Damn, who could’ve thought that actually managing a social media account as an artist would require so much attention… (jk, I was just being lazy, sorry for not posting stuff here)

This is by far the oldest character I own, originally designed in 2019. To be honest, there’s just something special about owning an OC this old… Though I wouldn’t be against purchasing something much, much older!

All I need to turn my life around is someone who cares about me…

And follows around and shouts at me whenever I do something wrong. Someone like GySgt Hartmann from a certain classic…

A little bit more about the character on my pfp. She’s a character from my webcomic (which I’ll definitely do, trust me folks) and a commander of a marine contingent aboard a naval Raider. While she’s certainly a skilled officer, she’s a suboptimal warrior- a play on the “good marine” tropes.

I just got a failing grade from my English teacher due to reasons which may or may not be political in nature… Jesus Christ do I hate living in Russia…
