bahahahaha

Hahaha I’ve lived in Norway 2.5 years now and I won’t tolerate someone even sitting in the row in front of me now lol

Yes yes haha I cut out the postal service and courier mail for the convenience of my argument, which clearly would not pass peer review but makes for good Twitteresque content 🤣

But also I love the way you said this. We need our own headspace sometimes!! And just KNOWING people can reach you all the time affects our mindset

I used to think that about Norway, too. Now that I’m older and seek quiet more, I can’t believe my 25 year old self was bothering people on the subway 🤣

To have a brief moment here and there where you exist without being called upon for something? I think it sounds heavenly.

I think we need to get back to a version of this. Constantly feeling accessible at any time to everyone is secretly exhausting to almost everyone I know. There’s something universal to all animals about sometimes just… existing… without another creature having any idea that we are there at all

I call everyone girl!! Especially men! It’s my way 😘😘😘

Oh damn! Yeah it is 🤣

Finally, I love Lars Vaular. He’s white but has a song on the increasing marijuana crack down in Norway, using the American war on drugs as a Jeremiad. My favorite line is “by criminalizing something you can segregate a population.”

But I also love Jonas Benyoub who is Moroccan born in Norway and raps also about what it’s like to be brown here. I do Public speaking and my speeches to international students are all using these artists to prove Norway isn’t a “white nation” - it has more immigrants by % than American!

Girl omg!!! I’ve waited my whole life to be asked this. So my favorite group is Karpe- they are born in Norway but Brown. they rap abt basically WEB DuBois’s double consciousness. immigrant rights. donated all profits to refugees years ago, are the most popular group in the history of Norway

But he’s a president so he can’t commit crimes. So glad we are on the way to actual autocracy

Yes!!! This is a huge proportion of the content I do on TikTok. I hate this stereotype abt Scandinavians

I'm doing a 30 day series on Norway / America on my Tiktok and Youtube, and many Norwegians have confirmed this viewpoint. /3
