Everybody is stressing out our boy in this one. He's not handling it very well. (Kristen Note: No one's surprised!)

Show Notes
Hurricane Ian is on his way! So, that's top of mind here. We might be as stressed as Daive's fav boy, Mulder. J/K we aren't hallucinating gargoyles. The amateurs win again! Woot!
This is the episode that leaned HEAVILY on foreshadowing and I had a blast pointing it out throughout the recap. Sadly, D wanted it to be about a gargoyle for real, and honestly, that's not what this show is about. 
We talk about libraries (they're great, get a card if you can. Libraries offer audiobooks, magazines, digital copies, and all kinds of cool resources that wouldn't be available if we tried to make libraries a thing today - take advantage!). 
We discuss dream interpretation! I was obsessed with this as a teen. I still have very vivid dreams and nightmares, but no longer own a dream dictionary. 
We also discuss the gross concept that some people still have that in order to understand a person you must become them, but they do not apply that to an unhoused person of a different background, instead it's always something awful and violent and used as an excuse. 
Was this a good episode? It wasn't a bad episode. Did I enjoy it? Yes. 
Xx
