🌽Lil Treasures #181: Cornmilk and the Sunday Scaries
We're talking heating pads, Ted Lasso and the Apocrypha
Well well well. If it isn’t the finest people on the internet. We finally made it to June and honestly, I wasn’t sure if it was gonna happen for me or not. But I have triumphed over too many dress-up days and color runs and field days and middle school dances and report cards and summer is upon us.
Happy Pride to all who observe and if you’re interested, I’ve activated one-week trials on The Swipe Up+ for the purpose of reading my four-part series on how I became affirming for free dollars. I know when you have a lot of questions it can feel overwhelming or you’re nervous about saying the wrong thing or asking the wrong question, so I would love to be a friend to anyone who is trying to sort it all out. Not that you need me to approve your choice or whatever; I am but a humble straight who gets it wrong a lot! If that’s something you’re wondering about, you can activate the free trial below and you’ll receive a welcome email with the links to the essays. 🌈
Onward to the treasures!
🦘Good morning, here’s a reminder that this video still exists (language alert).
🧅I love a good use of vocabulary like in this public service announcement.
🧜♀️Got chills reading Patricia’s post dedicated to the new Little Mermaid movie. Have you seen it yet? Were the sea creatures weird? I would love to hear your thoughts about it!
⚽In lieu of this week’s Ted Lasso finale, please find this very important list of who your favorite Ted Lasso character would be in Pride and Prejudice.
😱This video is for those of you who’ve ever experienced the Sunday scaries.
🎧In this week’s episode of The Bible Binge, we’re diving into the Apocrypha to talk about a woman named Judith. Check out the new episode here!
🏔This post about the mountain of racial triangulation is extremely valuable, save it to your Instagram faves! We are truly better together 🫶

Alright, that’s all the treasures this week can contain. Cheers to you and the weekend ahead! Can’t wait to see you in the comments.
I’m finishing up an unplanned two week vacation from physical therapy, which was needed in a way I didn’t realize, so I am treating this weekend like the demarcation point between spring and summer. The summer days will still look the same with therapy days and not therapy days (aka recovery days), but I think I’ll start including specific foods and media to help mark the new season. And, of course, the friggin gates of hell will make the Texas heat a major player so that I don’t forget it’s summer. Jesus be an energy level regulator (and a power grid stabilizer)!
This week’s only real Treasure is the biggest one of all: I got the official approval letter that all of my November hospital bills are covered under charity assistance, all $245,00 of them! That, along with the Go Fund Me donations, means all of the financial stress from the stroke experience can now be put to bed. I am so grateful! Maybe I should have a closing ceremony à la The Lazy Genius to mark the occasion and summer’s beginning. 🥳
Here’s to all of us, pals!
Hi, writing this feels like I’m fishing for support but honestly this community feels like maybe the place to do it? Today is my birthday. I’m 27.
I’ve been living in a new city for almost a year and a half. I’ve been doing pretty well, it feels more like home. Today I feel flustered and kind of lost. It’s really hard for me to celebrate myself and voice what I want to do for my birthday. So I tried to organize something, but it already feels like a flop. Partly due to unavoidable circumstances, partly due to friends not prioritizing it (and/or me not being as loud about it maybe).
Anyway. I’m going to get a massage and trying to have a good day. Things won’t always feel this hard, right? I appreciate the love and community that’s shared in this space. ❤️
