There is definitely not a 👉blue sky in Germany today nor does it feel like 👉summer outside, but if you put the two together please say hello.

Dear USians: Please ignore the "don't leave, stay and fight!" commentary if you're thinking about moving abroad. We live just one life – if you have the means and the true desire to leave the United States, do it.

It's an enormous privilege to have the opportunity to relocate. Not everyone can, even if they'd like to. Inequity is an unfortunate reality across the globe – but it is possible to look out for and support others whilst also looking out for yourself.

tl;dr: If the United States isn't a fit for you, looking elsewhere doesn't make you a bad person.

We're destroying the planet. We're destroying each other. We're putting the worst of humanity in positions of power. My only take away at this point is... carpe the diem, I suppose. Have a crush on someone? Tell them. Always wanted to take a trip somewhere? Take it. Life's short.

As today is the tax filing extension deadline, let this be my annual tweet about how much I love spending time and money to report all of my financial details to the US government even though I no longer live there and have no intention of returning and do not owe them any money.

A few months ago I went to the Maldives even though I don't dive or snorkel and am generally uncomfortable in water 😬 I still found plenty to write about, which you can now read here: citizen-femme.com/2024/10/11…

Is it that 'Summer' is so weird Germans simply cannot comprehend it as a first name, or is it systemic sexism that makes even women assume that only men can send emails about Important Things? I am forever being replied to as Herr Rylander 🙃

Did you have a terrific birding trip to Iceland in May, but then lose your SD card with your 3,700 bird photos in Norfolk? I have it!
