      I've been trying to crochet my first sweater and while I don't think it will fit a human, it might look nice on a particularly chonky cat.

      A fantasy series I read in college ended with the universe being divided, and everyone in it getting the choice to keep living in a universe with magic or one without.
      
      That series was not very good but anyway, I want that same choice except with AI.
