My daughter says it's unfair our boy Mr.Pouce wasn't "famous on the internet". She's right. He was the nicest, classiest cat of the city. May he rest in peace. in c/cat@lemmy.world

I lost a cat of mine about 1 year and 9 months ago. He didn't die. He ran away. A former roommate of mine left the window open and he got out. Former roommate never apologized and then my phone got stolen the night after I put up a fuck ton of posters around town. And that was Halloween night. I was really counting on so many people being out and looking for black cats. I cried harder than I ever have before. I loved that cat. I still love him.

Obligatory picture of my lost boy Apollo.

    Disclaimer: I have never actually read a Solarpunk novel. However, from my my understanding of Solarpunk it seems like your complaint of a lack of conflict seems quite understandable. Solarpunk is a more or less utopian setting, so creating a compelling conflict is likely quite challenging.

    Also, for a non-fiction recommendation, I would recommend The War for Kindness by Jamil Zaki. It's an insightful and compelling book that reveals why empathy seems to lack in some people.

    Alternatively, for a sci-fi recommendation I would recommend The Silence trilogy by D Nolan Clark. Excellent novels.
