I envy those who can believe there is a greater hand writing our story, who chooses the words to keep chaos at bay. Connection. Joy. Love. And resurrection. With these words, the path becomes clear for a moment, and then disappears. If I have a path, I’m still searching for it. We all are. That’s how we find our way, by choosing to walk forward, together. And if there is a greater hand leading us into an uncertain future … I can only hope it guides us well.

bigbadjadewolf asked:

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask, but I'm dabbling in zombie fiction and was wondering, what happens to the brains of meat animals after slaughter? Google brings up some really vague or down right A.R. centered answers. Love your blog and your work by the way! Always fascinating stuff.

Thanks for the kind words! 

That’s a good question too! Here’s a video on what happens to non-meat parts of cattle, but no mention of the brains. This article in Discover has more detail, written around Mad Cow Disease and focusing on the UK market. 

It says “Renderers process brains for use in laboratory reagents, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.” So I assume that the brains, with many other inedible parts, go to a rendering facility. I’m not sure if the brain goes to one particular thing or gets mixed up with other, similar parts for cosmetics, though. Maybe my readers can give a more specific answer? 

The Discover article is interesting, makes you think about how dead cattle are all around us.

Feather duster worms are wary of shadowy figures looking to steal their crown. Myriad eyespots play lookout to alert the worm to danger. Should an intruder be spotted, the tentacles can be retracted into their protective tube in the blink of an eye!
