It's crazy. I thought I'd feel better about this in Europe but they just don't understand this feeling. They know shit is fucked up in the US. Norwegians have an exceptional understanding of our culture but that's the tip of the iceberg. They know the tech sector, know the big cities but haven't been to conservative America. Not only do they not understand the conservatives, they don't understand the callousness libs have towards people fleeing having a boot on their neck. The LGBTQIA+ community is the only group that understands.

If this PhD doesn't work out I want to be a writer. I've been told I'm good at it at least.
