👽Lil Treasures #189: Senator Gump Thumpy and the Mojo Dojo Casa House
Plus some discussions about shenanigans and The Grateful Dead
Greetings, my dear friends of the interwebs!
It has been a fun week and I am still riding that beautiful, glittery high from seeing the Barbie movie last weekend. I hope you’ve already seen it because I’m not going to shut up about it in this week’s newsletter.
Let’s dig in!
This week’s treasures
👽You may have heard about the Congress hearings this week regarding some extraterrestrial life, but all that really matters is this UFO hearing closed door session.
⭐I loved every bit of Greta’s Barbie and while I have heard plenty of the annoying backlash, this post with 1 star reviews of the Barbie movie on posters was the most delightful spin on the haters.
💗Speaking of our beloved Barb, my friend Lacy designed some amazing Greta-themed Barbie shirts that are available over on her Etsy shop! If you’re as obsessed with the movie as I am and want to add a lil Barbie flair to your wardrobe, this is a great (and super cute) option!
🎸I got inspired by John Mayer’s recent post about his time playing with The Grateful Dead (rather, Dead & Company) and wrote some thoughts about his experience and divine community over on the Swipe Up+ this past week. We’ve got some fun stuff coming down the pipeline so if you’re into that you can subscribe below. New to the party? We can hook you up with a free trial so you can read this post + see if The Swipe Up+ is for you, just send me an email at hello@erinhmoon.com!
🍎I like to think I am *hip* and *with it* when it comes to my car DJ skills and Spotify playlists, but when I bring out the early 2000’s bangers that I still think are good (because they ARE OKAY) I’m pretty sure this is how my kids hear my music.
🐢Do you get ads for the most ridiculous things on Instagram? I was discussing this the other day in my stories and my internet friend Julie DM’d me this turtle body pillow she keeps getting ads for and I could not stop laughing about it. But the more I look at this turtle pillow I feel like I really need it, also. DARN YOU, INSTAGRAM MARKETING! DARN. YOU. Do you have bizarre ads that show up in your feed? I want to know yours, drop them in the comments!
🍅If you’ve been here a while you know about my deep, unconditional love for tomato sammies. It’s currently sammie szn so if you want to know the in’s and out’s of this masterpiece, be sure to check out this tutorial.
🩺If you take nothing else from this week’s newsletter, please make sure to read through this thread from a hospital chaplain about deathbed experiences and the way we live our lives.
The good threads:
Now for the tweets? The X’s? Regardless here are the highlights:
Party hard this weekend, ladies and gents! Can’t wait kick things off by reading through your highlights and weird Instagram ads in the comments 🎉 See you next week!
I must preface this post with an apology. One: to the public. This is slightly embarrassing. Two: to Evan, if he's peeping this thread. I'm sure he'll be sweating profusely.
Humorously, the same night I read your email asking for the algorithm doings of the interwebs, was the same night I texted my friends this same thing. I have receipts.
On Saturday, the algorithms that be, decided to let me know about a great Memorial Day sale going on!! Again, we JUST rounded the corner on July. Sounds like someone is falling down on their algorithm job. Immediately following... Well...I got one asking me to consider asking for... My... Sperm donation. I must say, there is nothing...NUUUUH-THING... In any search or browser history on ANY device attributed to me or my wifi network that would illicit this within my feed. NOTH-THING!!! They are humorous, I will say. Very "catchy" 😏
After screenshoting this to my friend group, I have received MORE notifications throughout the week reminding me of this... option in life. 😳
Any way to see the hospital chaplain’s thread without having a twitter account? Only the first tweet opens with the link but it makes you sign up/log in to see the rest.
