#introductions Hi Fediverse! I’m a #Texas transplant living in Stavanger, #Norway for the past 10 years. You’ll find me sharing my favorite #Gardening adventures, #vegan recipes (yes, I jumped in with those first!), and life abroad.
Keeping up with everything going on back in the States has been challenging—and explaining it to folks here, where I’m often the default #american explainer, is even trickier! So I cast a wide net for input on this- #fediverse let’s see what u got!

@Vicky
Hello and welcome!
Just a tip: Make your introduction pinned, so that later coming users can see them also. Add # newhere to it (without the blank), because several users follow this. -

@Vicky I would tell the, the truth, that in spite of our propaganda, we’ve never been a great nation, and have been an absolute parish of a human rights shitshow since even before the American Revolution, when my Shawnee people were waging war against the dirty pig settlers and their disgusting Christ insanity, which they used to murder, rape, kidnap and abuse Native children in their evil religious schools. Tell them that the USA has never been a legitimate country, and should fall. #LandBack

@Vicky I'd love to hear the story of how you ended up in Norway.

@Vicky Welcome to the Fediverse, Vicki! As a fellow Texan, I don't envy your explainer position. But I appreciate your patient efforts on our behalf. They say you never feel more Texan than when you're abroad or away from home. I'm glad that you're there to represent the rational Texas of Ann Richards, Beto O'Rourke, & Willie Nelson that we plan to take back very soon.

@Vicky Hi
fellow firmer Texan, Dallasite in France for over 10yrs - Wanna share/exchange notes?
Being the default American - I hear you.. it's hard.. especially being from Texas - there's this pause while people look at you to decide if you're pro-trump. No. No, I am not. -

@Vicky Hello. Welcome to the cool kid club.
I'm curious about your experience of immigrating to Norway. My impression is that it's hard to do so. Do you have special skills that would make it easier?

@Vicky I faced a similar challenge 20 years ago when I lived in Tunisia. The best I could do at the time was say that I had no idea why the USA was doing what it was doing.

It's challenging for us back in the states to explain as well. -

@Vicky Welcome! Stavanger is a nice place. Never been to Texas, so can't comment on that.
