About six years ago when I was about to leave the UK, where I’d lived for four years and some change, to return to the US,y husband and I were joking about looking forward to getting our government issued guns upon our return. My British former colleague was reasonably sure we were kidding but also thought it plausible. It was simultaneously hilarious and sad all at once.
I can relate to you in so many ways! I grew up in Texas, but now live in Europe with an English partner. I have this kind of double-reverse outsider perspective, where I always felt like a weirdo growing up, and now a representative of a culture I’m observing from a distance.
i love that you have a vibrant place to share your work and ideas that the mainstream (ie narrow minded, corporate, flawed) decision makers won't share.
Me, too! I love this space. To be fair, editors turn down my work for various reasons, so I made the point of saying that this piece wasn’t necessarily censored, it just wasn’t bought. I only sent it to two editors. Have to say, I was looking forward to publishing it here!

Well done! This is great…funny and grim.
Thx, Jenny!
