    We started applying after Jan 6th. Once there was no real response holding those leading a violent coup to overthrow the nation, it was time to go. It took years, but away we are.

    The GOP has spent decades cancelling my grants and fucking with my career. The lastest round of cancellations this year is just a swansong and a final goodbye. Fuck em, I’ll teach engineers in Europe instead. Added bonuses: real healthcare, my kids won’t have huge student loan debt, the trains go everywhere, and the food is better.

      Unfortunately, I’m barely monolingual in English. If you have any recommendations for expats, I’d love to hear them - especially for someone that only knows English.

        We’re mostly monolingual in English too. Berlin is 30% first and second gen immigrants now. The lingua franca is English here. Not all jobs will let you be English only, but there’s some out there. Going shopping and stuff? You’ll be okay.

        Learning the local language should be high on your list anywhere you move to, even if it’s another English dialect, eh?
