đ˝Lil Treasures #181: Cornmilk and the Sunday Scaries
We're talking heating pads, Ted Lasso and the Apocrypha
Well well well. If it isnât the finest people on the internet. We finally made it to June and honestly, I wasnât 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 youâre interested, Iâve 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 youâre 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 thatâs something youâre wondering about, you can activate the free trial below and youâll receive a welcome email with the links to the essays. đ
Onward to the treasures!

Happy Pride Month! Grateful for your series. If my fellow Swipes need more affirming theology resources, I've compiled a bunch here: https://invisiblecakesociety.com/2021/06/05/queer-theology-and-the-bible/ And the rest of the site has a bunch of other queerish Christianish stuff as well like how to raise affirming kids, resources for how to find an affirming church, poetry where my Four wing stores its #emotions, and podcasts where I overeagerly explain queer Christian things in audio format at 1.5x speed of a normal human.
I work my old lady butt off out in the yard and garden most weekends, followed by a warm heating pad and a cold seltzer combo platter. This week I finished planting the last of my winter sowing seedlings, and am excited to see my new pollinator friendly plants coming up. Hoping for lots of visits this summer from hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Hope your summer is off to a restful and fun-filled start.
