All Humans are Created Equal

We stood up to a tyrant once.

And now it’s time to again.

We need to stand up for the rights we were supposed to get so long ago.

“All men are created equal.”

I know it means all humans, but it feels like it just means men sometimes.

I want it to say:

All humans are created equal.

And I want the president to follow through with that promise.

I want equality for everyone.

Men, women, gender-non conforming.

White people, black people, indigenous, and all others.

Everyone.

Not just the people the president says are important.

Everyone.

Because all humans are created equal.

All humans.

Immersing myself in a world of roleplay, where I'm whoever I want.

Dopamine

Because of these things called phones, those of us born in the digital world have far too large receptors for dopamine.
Miniature computers, larger dopamine receptors.
Harder to get content and joy.
