🪲Lil Treasures #135: Jenna Maroney and Beautiful Summer bugs

We're talking subway sandwiches and a chance to win some free stuff!

Hey friends,

I hope your Friday is going swimmingly so far! Since we are smack-dab in the middle of the summer, I thought I’d take this chance to get a gauge for how you’re feeling when it comes to this community. I created a Lil Survey for all subscribers of The Swipe Up (both free and paid subscribers) in hopes to gather some feedback from your brilliant minds and help serve this platter of tweets, treasures and thoughts in the best way possible. It’s pretty quick and easy, and if you do fill it out you can enter your email for a chance to win an Amazon gift card!

I know Prime Day is behind us, but hopefully you can still score some good deals. Thanks a million for your thoughts and opinions, pals!

PSA: The survey was experiencing some technical difficulties, but we will bring it back next week! Thanks for your patience.

Let’s do some treasures, shall we?

☀️ We’ve made it to the middle of July, and this pretty much sums up my current feelings about summer.

🩺 Please take a few minutes and read this article in Parents by the wise and wonderful Danté Stewart. Danté writes about the overturn of Roe V. Wade, and what that looks like for healthcare from the perspective of a black husband and father.

🦷We all love a good post-wisdom teeth removal video. This one made me cackle.

📼My new friend Zach Lambert is the pastor at Restore Austin in TX, and he graciously asked me to be a part of their Summer Mixtape series. You can listen to the conversation/sermon from July 3 here!

🌈This week, I finished up the fourth and final post in the affirming theology series over in the Swipe Up+. If you’d like to get a chance to read through it before it gets lost in the archives, you can do so by subscribing here! If you you’d like to come explore the world behind the paywall, it’s $6 a month to be a part and gives you access to bonus content and any studies I release, plus a few extra perks. If you don’t have the funds or just want to read this particular series, send Hannah and I an email at hello@erinhmoon.com and we’ll get you VIP access.

🥪This thread about a Subway sandwich enraptured me.

🎧I got to be a part of Alli Worthington’s podcast for the Smart Girl Summer series, where we talked about how to be kind and curious about life. You can listen to the episode on Apple podcasts at this link or wherever you access your pods!

Time for Tweets!

Teens will open a kitchen cabinet and act shocked that there are no bowls, like they don't know that every bowl you own is in their room.

“The doctrine of grace, but only if you believe rightly about it” isn’t the doctrine of grace.

People can do good things from within a bad system. We don’t have to deny those good things to critique the bad system, and also those good things don’t mean the system is above critique. It shouldn’t be so hard to say those things at once.

My apologies to those involved but "When The Crawdads Sing" sounds like title of a 30 Rock movie starring Jenna Maroney as the Crawdad.
