@_XDogs It's important to remember that for every evil scumbag (who I would love to glue to the road😤) there are more decent people like you 👍

"So I’m driving down the road this morning and the cars in front of me are driving over a black thing in the road. It’s going between their tires so I’m guessing it’s a box. It’s a kitten just sitting upright shaking like a leaf. And some asshole had spread glue on its paws and stuck it to the road. I thought maybe it walked through glue somewhere but after looking at it, that was totally spread into her paws. She was wet and freezing and literally glued to the road. And NO ONE STOPPED. 😳 What the f$&k people??? I slammed on my brakes and stopped all the traffic and put my hazards on and got out and pealed her off the road. People were honking and all pissy....really??? It’s a kitten glued to the road!! So after a goo gone bath and some food and cream we have a new kitten. Luckiest kitten in the world!"

“Good books do not shout. They are carried forward by thoughtful introductions, well-placed reviews, talks, classes, and, above all, by readers who feel moved enough to share them.” — Nicos Rossides writingcooperative.com/so-you-want-to…
