Let's Get Taboo

Let’s Get Taboo! In this episode we start off with some nostalgia and stories about our childhood opps. Chloe shares an unexpected baka update. And then we get into the taboo parts of tattoos. We talk about the trends throughout the years, the stigmas that still come with tattoos. We talk about tattoo regret and people pleaser tattoos, and share our experiences with our own tattoos.

Let’s Get Taboo! Trigger warning: we get into some heavy topics, including suicide and death, and have a more philosophical debate about the right to die. However, we start the episode on a much different note- this conversation opens with the topic of boob jobs and a debate about best titty shape. If there’s one thing we’ve got for sure, its range. We also dive into a bit of the astrology at the time of this recording, and give some life updates. Then, conversation takes a turn for the taboo, and we get into the ethical debate of cancer treatment, suicide, and death with dignity at time stamp 26:06. So if these topics are more than you have capacity for right now, but you’d like 20ish minutes of silly goofy girl talk, there’s something here for you too. We want to acknowledge the weight that these topics carry and the impact we have all individually felt as a part of the human experience.

We start the episode with some catching up and story time. If you would like to skip the intro, you can jump to timestamp 12:22. In this episode, we talk about the history of the “first thanksgiving,” and when thanksgiving was made a holiday. We also dive into the astrology of the United States of America and how it might impact the 2024 presidential election. And to wrap up this conversation we bring it back to the beauty of the spirit of getting together for this holiday, while also learning, and more importantly, talking, about the atrocities against Indigenous Americans and the generational trauma that still lives on in their bodies today.

**Please note the following error: Chloe misspoke on Kamala Harris’ rising sign. It was stated that Harris is an Aries rising, when in fact Harris is a Gemini rising, a mutable sign. Although we have been having eclipses on the Libra-Aries axis, which in turn affects cardinal signs, we just began a new eclipse set on the Virgo-Pisces access, which will greatly impact mutable rising signs, including Gemini and Sagittarius. Please note that this is only an observation of astrological patterns and is for entertainment purposes only. This is not an endorsement of any candidate or political party.
