Just this morning, I was very shocked by the death of a famous right-wing political influencer, Charlie Kirk. When I went to a bakmi place with my sister, she showed me the video where he was shot dead. I was at loss for words. Can’t believe it really happened, I asked her, “is this aContinue reading “RIP Charlie Kirk”

Ada bagian dari buku ini yang berisi tentang tanda-tanda fisik kalau orang sedang gugup, menyembunyikan sesuatu, berbohong, dan lain-lain.

Before I begin, I’m telling you what’s happening around me.I’m sitting at Fore Coffee in *secret location in case I got famous and someone stalks me in the future* on a Tuesday evening, listening to Creep by Radiohead.
