I just got a car and started driving again so I was thinking about some safety things for D/deaf/HoH drivers. One huge concern is the possibility of being pulled over and encountering the police.

I have a magnet similar to this on my car in case of that situation

I also keep a notepad and pen in my glove box with my insurance card and registration. I keep everything is in one place so I won’t have to reach around and look like i’m searching for “something”

I also found this article with more information—

Too many deaf folks have been killed by police, already. Stay safe!

you don’t have to prove that someone is abusive in order to cut them out of your life, if they’re wasting your time and energy, draining you, making you feel miserable, putting way less effort in communicating than you are, blocking your thoughts and opinions, triggering you, making you cry, causing you pain, making you feel awful about yourself – you can cut them off with no further reason needed “I need different things in life right now” is a reason enough.

That’s really really interesting. Scavengers either did not hit the body or they did but they were small birds or mammals. Animals not capable of tearing the bones apart. Vultures can do that so no vultures. But the rear legs are gone which highly suggests frozen in deep snow or ice with the legs being accessable to bigger animal. Looks like it just laid down and died. Amazing find. 99% of the time I find animals they’re scattered over a hundred yards.

I was gonna make some joke about “dragon soul absorbed” but this is a much much better addition

I think frozen in deep snow is a good one! or, possibly, you might see this if something died on a ledge or high area (or was even caught in a tree!) and the remains were later dislodged or dropped to rest on the ground.
