You can settle for grease plus firebolt if you don’t have fireball =)

A lot of folks are also missing a backbone.

Gene Wolfe: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from traversing complex, labyrinthine narratives and deciphering symbolic, metaphysical riddles we haven’t begun to understand yet.

Arthur C. Clarke: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from encountering benevolent alien intelligence we haven’t discovered yet.

Ray Bradbury: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from rediscovering the beauty of books and humanity’s inherent capacity for empathy in a world we’re rapidly forgetting.

Robert A. Heinlein: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from pioneering individualism, libertarianism, and multi-planetary colonies we haven’t established yet.

William Gibson: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from navigating and subverting the interplay of high technology and low life in a cybernetic reality we’re only beginning to understand.

Ursula K. Le Guin: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from understanding and integrating a spectrum of social, psychological, and cultural perspectives we haven’t fully considered yet.

Neal Stephenson: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from unprecedented technological and social innovation, often resulting from deep historical and philosophical introspection, in a future we’re yet to engineer.

Octavia Butler: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from embracing and adapting to change through the lens of bio-diversity and sociocultural evolution we haven’t fully embraced yet.

Lol aww. My Olive is so particular about touching, which is a shame because she is the softest. Our love language is her laying fingertip distance from me and letting me get two or three pets in =)

My MIL has one of those, biggest cat I ever saw. A pretty boy, but a big boy for sure!

Aww cmon, there’s totally room for a pile 🥰

Aww how handsome

What kind of kitties is this? My cat looks like yours and I don’t know what her breed is =/

Is that a thing about torts? Never knew that! I’ve heard that huskies like to yell and our neighbors husky sure loves to be heard lol.

I have two kitties, a black one and a not quite orange one. The black one doesn’t make a noise but the not quite orange one likes to answer her name 🥰

My favorite beans ❤️

Kitties are coming in nicely this season

Ready for plucking!

So precious 🫠

You may see my belly, but no touchy

Oh little beans

That’s how she wakes me up in the morning 😅
