Trashedlight

"I don't have a lot to say" are truly the famous last words of this episode. Turns out we ALWAYS have something to say. 

Well, the funniest part of this is the first 2 and a half minutes, but I really hope you listen to the rest of it...

It's not Thursday, and this isn't about a chapter of Eclipse. But it's super important.   Email donation receipts to trashedlight@gmail.com and I will match up to $20 per person for those organizations in my parent's honor, for my mom's birthday and Father's Day.   More about Juneteenth: https://www.juneteenth.com/history.htm

It's episode 69... nice.   Here is an article on why Guy Fieri is important! If you can guess how we relate this to Twilight, I'll be super impressed. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/scaachikoul/guy-fieri-food-people-alison-roman-chrissy-teigen

I don't know who is missing us yelling for 20 solid minutes about the American South and misconceptions surrounding it, but if it's you...congratulations! We are here to fill that incredibly specific void. 

Do I hear...healthy relationship conversations on the horizon? Could it be??? Get ready to get your socks knocked off in this one folks. 

There's nothing funny about racism and cultural appropriation, so in lieu of a try-hard description here are some links from our episode we highly recommend you check out:   Government inaction around Native populations and the coronavirus: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tribes-covid-19-federal-relief-treasury-deb-haaland_n_5ea9decac5b633a8544487d9?guccounter=1   Quileute Nation webpage: https://q...

Can't go to school? Don't worry, Science Time with Rebecca is back to fill all your educational needs!! 

Take a deep breath folks - this one's a lot shorter. We're taking ideas for the hybrid show "Pretty Little Lies", a genius crossover between two show Rebecca and Colleen know very little about. 

Buckle in for a long one folks! What other podcast could talk about incest, abuse, and horny teenagers all in 45 minutes?   Here's an article about grooming: https://wonder.ph/popculture/what-is-grooming-drake-millie-bobby-brown/

On behalf of our younger selves, we apologize for our harsh judgement of Rosalie. Find out why she's not a b****!   Here's that Reductress article: https://reductress.com/post/how-to-support-prison-abolition-while-still-hoping-harvey-weinstein-rots-in-prison-for-the-rest-of-his-days/

After the peak of comedy that was, "I'M A VIRGO" from last week, I don't really know what funny thing to say here to top that...

Famous voice actors Colleen and Rebecca grace you with a free hint of their stellar abilities.   Here's that divorce link (or something similar): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-fault_divorce#Controversy

Colleen would just like to state that she blended so well with Vanessa Hudgens, you can barely tell it's two people singing. She's not sure if that's a good thing or not...   Here is the link about Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder and his relational abuse: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ian-somerhalder-said-he-secretly-threw-out-wife-nikki-reeds-birth-control-pills_n_59c5443ee4b0cdc773311967   Here...

There's a lot off the rails here, but most importantly, if your state hasn't: VOTE.

Colleen still has husky voice in this recording, so we're sorry about all the cracking and whatnot that goes on. What we're never sorry for is our spicy discourse.   Send us your team Edward (or Jacob) testimonials! You know that email: trashedlight@gmail.com. 

Welcome to book 3! We're about halfway through this harrowing journey. Speaking of harrowing, you're welcome for cutting out approximately 5 minutes of political ranting that had nothing to do with Twilight. Rebecca and Colleen just get in a ~mood~ sometimes...

We're back baby! Colleen is healthy (mostly) and Rebecca is done with her surgery (mostly). Here, have some spicy Witcher discourse as a treat! Apologies for the slightly our of tune violin playing - I didn't want to spend two hours getting it exactly right. 

We'll return to our scheduled programming next week, fear not!

Yes, yes, I know I forgot Melisandre and God knows how many other Game of Thrones characters in my count. I was drunk. Our points still stand.   Here's one of the best videos on the Internet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXowfha2dTE

Apologies for some of the audio quality ~issues~; I did my best (it wasn't much) to mitigate them!   Here, as promised, is a link to a small article from the Burke Museum in Seattle entitled "Truth vs. Twilight". The museum seems like a wonderful place and you should check the rest of the website out! https://www.burkemuseum.org/static/truth_vs_twilight/

Happy Anniversary to us!! In this, our 52nd episode (would our anniversary be the 53rd episode? Who can really say), we wax poetic about many things. The first anniversary gift is traditionally paper, so feel free to send us money (that's paper right?)...

Get ready for Colleen to do a ~light~ amount of screaming about men and their terrible natures, and stay tuned in all the way until the end for one of the most buck-wild Catholic religious education stories you've probably ever heard...

Rebecca and Colleen do some fun thought experiments for a lot of this episode, including a riveting "Would You Rather". Let us know your spicy answer!   Here is the Indiebound link for the book Colleen mentioned: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780062470836
