2/? Fox News is literally on 24/7. this is how I grew up so I just tune it out but there is nothing more satisfying than ignoring their hourly 3-5 "ugh liberals" sighs waiting for me to ask them what they're sighing about (y'know to start a fight) and me never asking
3/? went to mexican restaurant. can confirm father said "hole-la" and "grahs-ee-yass"

11/? found out recently that my dad asked my brother–who lives in town, how to change his zoom background to just be a giant NRA logo 🥴 (brother said no)
12/? we're back!
last night we explored they/them pronouns and how they are fucking valid. when asked "so are you gonna call me 'unicorn' if I want?" I said "hell ya mom, whatever makes you happiest and feel the most you" so fyi if you meet her: she goes by Unicorn
