I just found out about the pod (through a shout-out on totally obsessed pod) and I've been binging it back to back. When I was a tween I read the midnight sun leak like it was a religious text, and just got to the bit of the pod where it's all fresh content (post meadow), I'm getting absolutely sucked back into this fandom! Might actually have to read midnight sun myself when I'm out of episodes!

This blog is still active but I can't tell from the posts if the pod is still going or if it ended in 2025?

yes, the pod is still going! we're in our between-seasons hiatus (post-eclipse, pre-breaking dawn) which we knew was gonna be a long one but it's looking like it will take even longer than we anticipated. in the mean time this blog and our other social media are still up and running (including @bellasbookclub.)

(also welcome anyone who's here after hearing about us on Actually Obsessed pod!! we hope you enjoy this crackheaded trip through bella's/beau's/edward's/smeyer's twisted minds🖤)

major 🤝 on reading the midnight sun leak like a religious text back in the day. that WAS the moment. definitely share what your experience is like if you do end up reading the full book!! it's soooo fucking wack that sometimes I think I got hit by a car in 2010 and am hallucinating the whole thing in my final moments as my brain is slowly deprived of oxygen —G

I have been listening to this podcast called Betwixt the Sheets, The History of Sex, Scandal & Society, and it's really reminding me of the main reason that you should listen to experts. It's not because of the reason media usually shows, them having encyclopedic knowledge of their subject (though many do have that) it's their ability to sort.

This podcast demonstrates that ability really well because sex scandals tend to be used as propaganda, so it's difficult to tell if they are true or not. The host will ask the historian guest, "Did he have sex with men?" and the guest will say something like, "Well four sources say so, but three were written after his death and the one from his lifetime was from a dude who REALLY hated him, so I'm going to conclude no."

That is what an expert can do, that we've perhaps forgotten about because we have so much information at our fingertips, an expert can tell which information is good & valid vs. bad & unreliable. An expert can sort much faster than a layman because they've been doing it for years.

It's the same for my field. Some things I am absolutely sure are wrong, like if someone says "We only use 10% of our brains." No, we use all of it and I can even tell you what every part does. But other claims, if I see a news article claiming something that sounds fishy, I can read the research article behind it and judge the validity of the source. I can sort. I know which parameters to sort on. That was the entire point of my education and it was pounded into my head.

Knowledge isn't enough. Researching isn't enough because if you don't know how to sort you'll just be led astray down dangerous rabbit holes. That is why experts are so important.

This incredible necklace has been used at least seven times over the years, and likely more.   It was seen as early as 1928 in the film 𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒔, where it was worn by Pola Negri as Baroness Gerda Wallentin.   It appeared in 1930, in 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝑴𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝑪𝒂𝒔𝒆, worn by Natalie Moorhead as Fanny Del Roy.   Carmel Myers wore the necklace in promotional photos, though the date is unknown.   Find out where else this necklace has been found by visiting us at Bit.ly/acces226
