👑 Lil Treasures #143: The Man Queen and a Christmas Pinecone

We're talking Spit-Gate and imaginary football teams

Hello!

Welcome to this week’s edition of Lil Treasures! Not much to say today, it’s been quite an eventful couple of days. I’ve been deep in the throes of the internet after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. She was the longest-reigning British monarch, and although there were some problematic things about her reign, she certainly held herself with lots of class. RIP, Lilibet.

I’m also additionally sad to accept the reality that Charles has now taken her place! Just. So unsettling. I’ve definitely been caught up in somberness of it all and also doing a lot of internet royal family deep dives, anyone else? Lots going ‘round on the internet this week to keep us all distracted for a while. Make sure you don’t get too in the weeds out there, guys!

Here are this week’s treasures:

🍿Snacks are one of my passions in this life. My pal Bri McKoy just released a guide dedicated to the subject matter with ideas and recipes, perfect for you to use when you signed up to bring that snack to your tailgate party or book club meeting this fall! You can get your copy of the Snack The Snack eBook here.

💸If you’ve been following Dave Ramsey at all these last couple of years, don’t miss this deposition that was just released from last year with some pretty character- damning statements included.

🫖Listen, if you haven’t been sucked in to the drama that encompasses the new movie Don’t Worry Darling, I tip my hat to you. I have been unintentionally pulled in and now there is no return. Do a bit of Googling and you will have so. many. questions. We talked about Harry Styles Spit-Gate and all things Miss Flo-related on The More You Know this week if you to dive into the tea!

florence showing up late, leaving early, doing no press, ignoring olivia, harry spitting on chris, kissing nick kroll, nick kroll being in this movie to begin with, 39% rotten tomato score,

🖼️The official White House gallery portraits of former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle were just unveiled this week! They are for sure very nice but the best part of the whole thing was Barack’s glowing review of Sharon Sprung, who painted Michelle:

Kathryn Watson @kathrynw5

BARACK OBAMA: "I want to thank Sharon Sprung for capturing everything I love about Michelle: Her grace, her intelligence, and the fact that she's fine."

🌈For anyone who’s looking for more LGBTQ+ affirming resources to add to your reading list, don’t miss this article from Walter Brueggemann about how to read the bible on homosexuality.

Can't believe they are going to make a MAN queen. This woke nonsense has gone too far.
