To update, Ferret is now the star in two coloring books-an adult and a children's version.

I bought them. Seems very AI looking from the promotion but we'll see. Push come to shove I'll do some edits to the pictures before I color them.

So my cat Ferret is kinds famous- or at least somewhat popular.

A couple years ago I submitted this picture of him to a calender contest.

He has now been in two calenders, in an activity book, on a mug, and made into a puzzle.

No, I have not made any money from this or bought any items. I am proud of him though.

There is something so beautiful about this tie.

You see I choose to believe that while space is just like ✨️that✨️, humans have a tendency to poke any and everything with a stick and ask questions later. Everyone else is either a) too busy with their own thing (such as cold wars, hot wars, and colonization/expansion), b) has enough sense to study phenomenon before poking it with a stick, or c) does not care to explore.

Vulcan and other races (as it is shown or implied that other race also don't time travel and there isn't a temporal agency until Starfleet) leave well enough alone where humans think it's fun to poke an obvious beehive to see if bees live there. Most the time you get bees and get stung, but occasionally, I guess, you could meet God. If it goes poorly or well enough, depends on your out look.

TL'DR: Human are space orcs with the god given write to poke things with a stick where others know better.

It's so funny to me that more than 1000 years into their space program Vulcans still didn't believe in time travel, considering Kirk once did it on accident. Like fucking skill issue???

What's even worse is the writers had her get into a relationship with Shran just to immediately kill her to further his (Shran's) story. Don't get me wrong. I love Shran's characters but that still rubs me the wrong way.

Criminal how these two never went anywhere. They are. Made for each other. The trust issues. The military family. The unashamed flirting. It's the first time Reed has ever been normal around a woman in his entire life. She cured his daddy issues with 1 sentence.

She would have been the type of fiery and strong woman who always has strong opinions and wants to decide everything, and he would have been the "sure honey, whatever you want, your wish is my command :)" kind of man. UGH. We suffered a robbery.

[shadowinthefire]

You are correct and it's weird because it's on mugs and stuff.

Man, why doesn't the official star trek shop sell Deep Space Nine comm badges? They've got them for all the other series.
