And I thought there was a severe paucity of dignity up until this point. All I have to say is, I picked the correct moment to be on the other side of the planet. Even this far away, my skin crawls.

Please please explain to me why the so-called "greatest country on earth" doesn't have adequate and practical high speed rail. Got into Taipei in the middle of the night then raced across half the country in under an hour to get to my stay. Clean\comfortable\safe\fast and roughly $10

The number of quite older men I'm seeing today wearing short shorts at the airport is confusing me. I'm the last person in the world to give shade to fashion choices, but do you really want your bits on all these public surfaces?

Scrambling to pack a carry-on (only) and book travel (literally around the world) for the next month and a half with 3 days notice. Hoping to crash on several couches to keep costs down. Fingers crossed I get these bookings right.

I have my first official appointment with the Swiss embassy finally. Nothing much will happen on this one, but I'm so excited I could rise from this chair and fly.

Blowing through Southern Idaho right now and I hit road construction. Signs read: please slow down... to 70mph. 😂 Road crew is just built different out here.

I'm not back in Switzerland yet, but I'm just posting this as incentive to keep focused on my objective. Monte Cardada, Ticino, Switzerland.

Nearly a year, several trips across the ocean, a whole lot of $, bonkers bureaucracy, delays, headaches, stress and flat out incompetence like you wouldn't imagine to sort out a 3" stack of forms. Now I can BEGIN to apply for citizenship. 🧀⌚🏔️ I expect similar chaos for the next year or so. Worth it.

I tell all my World History students every year that the most ubiquitous letter home from soldiers, in any century, any region, whether ancient Roman legionaries or U.S. Civil War troops or Chinese Communists, are requests for new socks. Ignore "socks are boring presents" folks; socks save lives.

I'm getting a lot of exposure to Klee lately. Still not sure I vibe with him generally, but this I like.

I see that once again, the country that thinks everyone should work as hard as possible all the time without health care, family leave, or a living wage has been stumped by the question “Why aren’t people having more children?”

This basically nails the discovery arc of my life. It took me way too long to figure this out, and girlfriend spitting this truth looks half my age. www.instagram.com/reel/DIxIbwA...

Since beginning my citizenship journey I've been astonished by how much time, focus, physical effort, money, and just sheer frustration has been involved. It's crystal clear to me that an abundance of resources, time being key, helps to grease this track. I can't imagine how most people manage.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs less to house people.

Here is the situation if I’m understanding it correctly: 1. They are deporting lawful immigrants erroneously to prisons overseas 2. They are claiming no recourse to return these individuals 3. They say they are open to deporting citizens in the same way

Two more shots at taking my fingerprints. Of all the nonsense I thought I'd have to deal with this year, "the government can't seem to find prints on your fingers" was definitely not on the damn list.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

Apparently my fingerprints are all rubbed off. I've tried to do them twice now (well, several times in two sessions). For most folks faulty fingerprinting would probably be a plus?
