Found a cozy apartment in Oxford that I'll be moving into next week. It's an easy commute to my new job that I begin in early October. Looking forward to settling in and getting on with the rest of my life.

I love the weather here. The next 7 days the temps will be 68F to 72F. ❤️

Out and about in Oxford, looking at apartments near where I'll be working.

Received a job offer. Next comes finding a place to live long term. While happy to remain in the beautiful city of Oxford, it's an expensive place to live.

Two 2nd round onsite job interviews last week, two more next week. Hopefully something breaks soon.

I am stuffed full of good food, happy, and sleepy. That is all.

On the off chance you work in the life science industry - they have all sorts of roles from warehouse work to scientists - feel free to message me and we can connect via LinkedIn.

Today a man walking his dog saw me looking at the doggo with a big goofy smile and asked it I wanted to pet him. His pup was a loveable guy name Rusty, and it absolutely made my day.

I am cautiously optimistic that this week things are finally moving on the job front. Hiring managers are returning from vacation, and the EU and UK tariff agreements give some much needed clarity to business operations. This week is packed with interviews.

Wanting prosperity and success is an admirable personal goal.

What's wrong is when you take it at the expense of others.

"Is it odd that I've not experienced any kind of homesickness?"

I thought about that while walking about Oxford. Perhaps my heart and soul left America before my body did.

Hopefully I'll find work soon. I'm eager to get on with the rest of my life.

Or own it as a perverse badge of "honor."

There's a 102% chance he's totally full of shit, with a 2% margin of error.

It's inevitable that I will encounter someone who isn't, but everyone I've met in Oxford so far has been genuinely friendly and helpful.

Oxford's hot today! Thankfully, 0% humidity, so 91F is much more tolerable. Got out before noon for a pint of cider and a light lunch.

Since leaving America I've had a lot of mixed emotions. But while I've been a little depressed, it's the normal, homesick kind, and mild.

I will be much better when I've found a job and know exactly where I'll be living.

With any luck, last night was the final nail in the coffin containing the dessicated husk of Andrew Cuomo's political career.

Because of the character limits on Bluesky, this post can't be as long as the one I shared in other social media.

Summary: I have fled the US. I do not intend to return. I am in Oxford, UK on a monthly lease and will move to wherever I find a job (Ireland or UK).

Why a professor of fascism left the US: ‘The lesson of 1933 is – you get out’ Marci Shore made news around the world when her family moved to Canada. She discusses Trump, teaching history and how terror atomises society

I didn't want to post political items on Bluesky, because we get enough of it everywhere else. But I'm making an exception here, for reasons I'll explain later in the week.

In bed but wide awake. So much on my mind. A lot is going to change next week. I'll explain later to those here who don't know what I'm talking about. My mantras through all of this have been "follow your gut" and "be fearless."

God knows there's plenty to be afraid of these days.

I've not posted here much. The format isn't great for long-form postings. But I'll try to be a bit more active over the next few weeks.

Reach out to the author and offer constructive criticism. Good writers appreciate it.

Thank you, Nic. You just helped me make a decision.

Feeling a bit lonely this evening. A question popped into my mind that I'm unable to answer. Do I have a "tribe," and if so, what is it? Where are they? Or am I just alone?

🤔

Still looking for work. I had a company tell me they'd help me relocate and pay all expenses... instead of just letting me work remotely for a role that requires no physical presence.

You're just one person. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed by the world.
