#introductions Hi Fediverse! I’m a #Texas transplant living in Stavanger, #Norway for the past 10 years. You’ll find me sharing my favorite #Gardening adventures, #vegan recipes (yes, I jumped in with those first!), and life abroad.

Keeping up with everything going on back in the States has been challenging—and explaining it to folks here, where I’m often the default #american explainer, is even trickier! So I cast a wide net for input on this- #fediverse let’s see what u got!

@Vicky all the food you've posted so far looks amazing. been trying to learn vegan cooking so hopefully i'll get some ideas :D
@Vicky Welcome to the Fediverse, Vicki! As a fellow Texan, I don't envy your explainer position. But I appreciate your patient efforts on our behalf. They say you never feel more Texan than when you're abroad or away from home. I'm glad that you're there to represent the rational Texas of Ann Richards, Beto O'Rourke, & Willie Nelson that we plan to take back very soon.
@Vicky hello and welcome to the Fediverse
@Vicky
It's challenging for us back in the states to explain as well.
@Vicky Welcome! Stavanger is a nice place. Never been to Texas, so can't comment on that.
@Vicky Welcome to Fediverse  
@Vicky get in touch with https://indivisible.org/ or even better the UK version https://indivisiblelondon.wixsite.com/indivisible-london-1 who will know if there is a Norwegian or Scandinavian version.
