2026-02-07

Any U.S. citizens considering moving abroad:

The process of finding a job, getting a passport, securing a work visa and housing, closing up your U.S.-based life can take months. The sooner you get the ball rolling on that, to lock in prospects, to save up money for the move, etc, the better.

Now while there’s still a measure of order to the world is the best time to make preparations rather than last-minute when the iron gates begin to close and it gets more difficult to move.

Hype for the Future 87/284: Faroese Americans

Overview Though Faroese Americans have likely existed in small numbers from the nineteenth century, the population of the Faroe Islands has always been relatively small to begin with, so the host region had never been populated to a level typical of prominent host nations. However, in the cases that Faroese Americans likely exist, the most common migration paths are either toward Denmark or toward Norway, not overseas.

Immigrants at Ellis Island [between 1907 and 1917]

1 photographic print. | Photograph shows a man waiting, with others in queue behind him, at the registration desk in the immigration station on Ellis Island; an immigration official is seated at the desk.

Ellis Island is an island in New York Harbor, within the U.S. states of New Jersey and New York. Owned by the U.S. government, Ellis Island was once the busiest immigrant inspection and processing station in the United States. From 1892 to 1954, nearly 12 million immigrants arriving at the Port of New York and New Jersey were processed there; as many as two-fifths of Americans may be descended from these immigrants. It has been part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument since 1965 and is accessible to the public only by ferry. The north side of the island is a national museum of immigration, while the south side of the island, including the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital, is open to the public through guided tours.
