Personally I feel more connected to the Vancouver BC/ Seattle/ Portland corridor than with the rest of the US, so I feel more comfortable saying I’m a Cascadian than an American.
I am disabled, and a retro computer nerd.
Because frankly? I haven’t been proud of America since 9/11 and nothing my family or the people around me have said or done have helped me to not feel shame.
The country of “Disabled Retro Computer Nerd Land” sounds rad as hell, (the DRCN for short)
I am a meat popsicle
I am a Californian. My flag is the flag of the California Republic.
Unfortunately, my state sees fit to subsidize a bunch of conservative states that otherwise would have failed already.
As someone in one of those States.
Cut us off. There won’t be change until these people hurt and right now they view California as something they are subsidizing and not the other way round.
Despite being cishet somehow it’d be LGBT-dominated and 80% about gaming like everywhere I find myself lol
I mean it! I keep finding myself in queer communities and I legitimately don’t know why lol
Because, while assholes can be found in all places, you have decided yo surround yourself with the interestingly weird.
Best communities ever tbh
Hey from another cishet in queer spaces. We just realize where the fun is. 😉
I identify with Norwegian and western european liberal values. I believe in free speech, democratic values, science, press freedom, human rights, unity, being compassionate, a strong welfare state, equality, womens rights, lgbtqia+ rights. I also have a sense of feeling that all europeans are my peers and that we are a collective. When Russia attacked Ukraine, it felt as if they in some way also attacked a close neighbour, a friend and our way of life.
I was born in PRC, immigrated to the US. I’m a current US Citizen derived from my mother’s naturalization. I identify as an American… because I grew up here, and lived longer than I ever did in China. Most of my memories are in the US.
…but this administration really want to make me get stuck in an airport, because um… checks news… yeah, not sure if my Citizenship is gonna last long under this pseudo-fascist regime.
PRC automatically revoked my citizenship already, so no going back. Job market in China is horrible, 1.4 Billion(?) People competing for jobs… hard for even find a job… and there aren’t many parks like the US have, there aren’t as many trees, at least in Guangzhou, felt like some urban hell.
So um… if fascists revoke my citizenship… I’m gonna become a documentary/movie like that other story of the person that waa stuck in an airport, y’all 'bouta see me on a wikipedia page! 🙃
I really like the concept of “Citizen of Earth”, but nobody in the world share that idea so…
I guess I’m stuck with being “American” for the time being… Or maybe Philadelphian? I mean… I’ve lived here like a decade so…
🤷♂️
(I don’t even know what’s the point of these identifiers…)
I don’t identify with either my country of birth (where I lived until I was 19) or the country I currently reside in. Of course I have a strong influence from both, especially where I grew up, and I find it’s easier for me to understand the culture there but that doesn’t mean I resonate or identify with it.
