Special thanks to: appropriation artist A Dog Who Loves Cats (formerly known across the world as pedrov_dog), for collage and AI art, the inspiration for the stories and poems, and for passing on the useful advice to remember during the times I am feeling down: When one door is closed, God opens up several windows.
(Appox. Translation from original Brazilian-Portugeuse: Quando se fecha uma porta, Deus abre várias janelas.)
