Empire of nothing. Nothing and no one. No empires. Empirenothing. Nonepire. Nempire. Vampire. Empire. Empire. Emporor. Oops, I spelled that wrong. Emperor? Emperor. Empire. What was the first empire? I don't know. We should be so past empires. This world has always been connected, across the world, so connected, but it's more obvious than ever how connected it is, and how far beyond borders we should be by now. I don't think borders ever needed to exist, not for humanity, they are for those in power to keep their power. I'm so done with people in power! It's so frustrating to feel this way but I can't imagine the alternative, how limiting and horrible that would be. Omg my kid is watching something on YouTube that is supposedly "ASMR" but it's someone chewing crunchy loud things and I hate it. It stopped. He stopped watching it. It's Easter. People really believe that Jesus Christ was the son of God and that he rose from the dead and ascended to Heaven and I guess it's okay for someone to believe that if they want to believe that (I used to believe that) but Christianity really has a problem with wanting everyone to believe that and not being tolerant of other worldviews. The chewing is back. God. God, if you exist, make my child choose something else to watch. No? No God? No God.
