after dinner we sat on the couch and watched cnn and they started going on their palestine bullshjt so i chanfed the channel, but alas the next channel was indonesian politics
afyer listening to a few minutes of incoherent boomer whining about the current administration (only because their preferred candidate didnt win the last election obv) i proceeded to retreat to my room
i genuinely believe that tjey like it when i'm home, but i suspect only in a very specific way, which is thay it maintains some semblance of an intact family while my little brother is out all day
