Roni Rolle LaukkarinenThis is how you sign "Mastodon" in Finnish sign language. Kudos to my deaf wife @mustikkasoppa ❤️ #SignLanguage #FinnishSignLanguage #Viittomakieli
David Fleetwood - RG Admin@rolle @mustikkasoppa Thanks for this. Although I misread "deaf" as "dead" and re-read it like four times before I understood. I was about to offer condolences!

Shannon Persists@mustikkasoppa @reflex @rolle can you imagine if you actually said "dead wife?," Like is that a gentle way of saying they passed away?" 🤔🤣
@DiamondGlitter @mustikkasoppa @rolle No kidding! I was trying to figure out if there some some form of European etiquette about the deceased I hadn't run into yet!
Kalle Kniivilä@reflex @DiamondGlitter @mustikkasoppa @rolle There is no such thing as European etiquette about anything. Especially not about the deceased. Europe is a very diverse continent.

@kallekn @DiamondGlitter @mustikkasoppa @rolle I know, I was just pushing back playfully. I've been learning Portuguese etiquette sometimes the hard way since I moved there a couple years ago. Some things seem fairly pan-European and some are very country specific.
One commonality I've noted is that virtually all of the former colonial powers believe they were the "good colonizers" which is....a take.
@reflex @DiamondGlitter @mustikkasoppa @rolle Like Russia does... Except they don't even accept they were and are a colonial power.
@kallekn @reflex @mustikkasoppa @rolle Russians are proud of the way they invaded Ukraine, just like all the other bloodthirsty and greedy countries and you can quote me on it!💯☝🏻
