I think there’s two classes per year for anyone who wants to learn all the things and we have a “deployment team” which meets once a month for drills and refresher classes. It’s something at least :D

When I’ve had them at the farmers market, they told me to just eat them like that 😅

Not sure if I found Patient Zero by looking at what else Ray Porter had narrated or if it was suggested due to my reading Scott Sigler’s Infected trilogy or Del Toro’s Strain Trilogy. I will say Rudy and Joe’s relationship is what convinced me to talk to a therapist for the first time, so thank you!

TIL!

Booked! :D

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.
