Semicolons and Some Thoughts Elizabeth C.

TW: brief mentions of SA and all the weird psychoanalysis stuff people believed about women
I’m back after WAY too long of a break from the pod lol send help. We’re starting off the summer season with the most recent episode in my backlog folder; my roommate and I lose our minds during finals week and rank famous psychologists while saying SLAYYY more than any person should. Also, Lizzie discovers how to pronounce Carl Jung’s name lol 😂
Hopefully this summer I’ll remember to finish editing all my old episodes and upload them… I’m also planning on actually making a real schedule so if next semester isn’t too busy I might be able to get around to regular uploads again 😩.

This is the second part of a double episode with me and my (former 😭) roommate Em! (The parts were recorded about a month apart lol)
In part 2, we talk about weird 2000s childhood toys and experiences, take a Tinkerbell character quiz, go off on Nick Foster/internet misogynists, and discuss growing up as evangelical Christians. 

Disclaimer: the end of this is pretty negative. We were really struggling after a whole year of being stressed out by COVID on campus. I’ve changed my mind on a bunch of things since then, and I think our college did a good job of keeping us safe, but it was a lot of pressure on us students to do what they wanted us to do.
Keep wearing your masks for the sake of those around you, and get vaccinated if you have the option (people in America/Canada/UK, I’m looking at you). Stay safe!

For some reason, Mashable took down the childhood toys article 🙄

In part 1, we learn too much about the lore of Fortnite seasons, make a lot of noise eating our food, and struggle to end it because we keep talking about Kevin (rip) and twerking.

TW// racism

This episode was recorded sometime in the middle/end of April, probably at Easter break, so some things are super out of date. Sorry it’s taken so long, finals were kicking my butt.

Me, Morriah, and Phoebe start off part 1 of the episode talking about racism, school, and other stuff in our lives. Part 2 derails completely and we talk about fanfiction tropes and fandoms we’ve been in. This episode is a whole rollercoaster so strap yourselves in for a wild ride.

TW// general mental health discussion, d*ath, s*icide
I’m finally back from my few week hiatus. Things have been ~cRaZy~ (lol I’m so quirky) but for real, life has been hitting hard recently. This episode is all over the place, and I probably lose my train of thought more times than I actually keep a consistent topic going (plus the audio is SUPER quiet). Also, this was recorded at the end of last week before I cut my own bangs, so that’s why I didn’t go off about it (because that’s currently all I talk about to irl people lol).
Note: I’m super upset with myself for not addressing the recent anti-Asian violence that’s been going on in the US within this episode, my mind just was all over the place and it wasn’t on my quick list of topics. I might be doing an episode soon with some AAPI friends if they’re comfortable with discussing the recent anti-Asian hate crimes in the US. Below I’ve provided some resources to educate yourselves with and funds to donate to if you’re able.

PART TWO, BABYYYYYYY!!! Me, Phoebe, and Em are back (also briefly featuring my old roommate, Allison, who calls me in the beginning of the pod). We start out on the innocent topic of Bernie Sanders memes and the current ages of kids from old Vines, but it quickly devolves into the absolute madness of the Spy Kids universe and people pretending to be ghosts on campus. 

We also talk over each other almost a million times and scream a bunch so the sound quality is a mess, plus we get SERIOUSLY derailed at the end when Kara and Morriah join us so there’s a bunch of random cuts where I took out personal stories/super lengthy unrelated conversations. (Lol also this was recorded last Sunday so oops it’s a little late)
