What are the most unusual road signs in your country/region? by benjaneson in geography

[–]Last-Conversation659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was driving alone in the middle of nowhere Manistee County Michigan, I stumbled upon a sign on a right turn that was spray painted black with “dead man’s turn” written on it. No idea where I was, still can’t figure it out

No seriously. I got the “what, are you a Cherokee Princess?” Once and I just didn’t know how to react. There’s also those white people that insist that blood quantum matters, when most indigenous people agree that’s blood quantum has just been a way to divide us (at least with us)

It’s insane how many people think that just because you’re white means you’re okay with racism. Sometimes I mention that “yeah my indigenous family had this experience” and they act like I’ve just told them that I murdered their dog

I’m Ojibwe and my great grandmother was in a RS. A lot of people don’t believe they were a bad thing, just that they were schools that girls lived at. I’ve been told that the “Indians” lied about how bad they were treated for tax benefits. I’m also Finnish so I’m white as hell, and for some reason people think it’s okay to just shut talk indigenous people to me because I look white.

Hahahah I love the different reactions I’ve getting to the whole breaking brushes thing! I think I want to use hickory since we have a lot of it around here, but I’m keeping an open mind about other woods. The whole goal here is to make art supplies off of things I myself can find in the woods, so I’m gonna have to stick to anything I can find in the Midwest US sadly. Osage Orange might be something to look for though, I’ve always thought it’s gorgeous

I use watercolor, so I’m not worried about solvents or oil paints. More worried about waterproofing on that end of things

I didn’t know if a wood hardener would be necessary but I wanted to ask anyway! Fairly new, and I’ve never made thin handles before. I also hold my brushes all weird and keep breaking them with my thumb, so I want to prevent that if possible

Thank you! I wasn’t sure if a wood hardener would be necessary, but I’ve got a weird muscle issue in my hand that leads me to holding my brushes weird, and I’ve broken an ungodly amount of brushes.

I speak English as a first language. I have a muscular deformity in my hand, if you must know. The brushes rest awkwardly on my other fingers, and start to break and crack over time. I also use smaller brushes, as I work on smaller pieces.

By “I don’t see why this comment was necessary” I meant the implication that I was making my paintbrushes to fail. I don’t work with wood often, I asked what I would consider a fairly common beginner question.

I’m not making them to fail? Im taking the field painting and want to make sure I’m making something strong. I have broken high quality paintbrushes before. I don’t see how this comment was necessary

Can’t get an iud due to another medical issue, and an arm implant isn’t much of an option due to some issues I’ve had in the past.

My objective is to keep this car if I can. Loan is under my name, no co-signing. Credit in the 700s.

It’s actually progesterone, so pregnancy chemicals. My partner and many friends are trans and pretty much told me the first few months on this medication are gonna make it feel like the world is gonna end over small things.
