Summary:
Teland said, of a photograph of Luigi Mangione reacting to some evidence against him being thrown out:
"There's still a certain 'Je ne sais why a 67-year-old woman who calls herself PresidentMILF keeps trying to convince me to send nudes' about the eyes.
"'Please stop perceiving me kthxbye —LM'"
Nineteen more letters follow that Luigi might, semi-plausibly, have written back... to a wide variety of admirers.
US Politics: Reminder: Stand with Minnesota donation? Ask me to write for you!
Jan. 25th, 2026 01:43 pmpetraWe'd be protesting if it wasn't so goddamn cold and snowy. We'd be, quite probably, rioting, except goddamn it is miserable outside, and unlike the good people of Minneapolis, we are intimidated by Lots of Snow and Ice.
So instead we are sending funds to Minnesota because what the actual fuck.
If you are also sending funds to Stand With Minnesota, and we share a fandom or you like original poetry, I would be happy to write for you!

wips
Jan. 24th, 2026 07:41 amrunpunkrunSo I posted my Star Trek fic: Maybe He's Born With It (Maybe It's GlaxosEpsilonYor)!!
Going by file dates I started that one in 2020, so compared to all my other wips, it was relatively new. It took a lot of writing to finish because when I started it was really just a couple of paragraphs and then five handwritten pages. I quickly had a first draft, but it needed a lot of editing to connect the themes and refine Jim's voice. It's at the very start of his career as a captain and he's still a hot bro-y mess, and even though I found myself resisting his self-centeredness, I needed his actions to reflect that selfishness, and I think I hit a good balance of bro and personal growth. He can be taught! Spock, of course, is perfect. No notes.
Next up in my endless list of neglected WIPs: It should be my Pinto fic—which, as I recall, is all but done except for the last lines, fuck you, last lines—but instead, it's the G-rated Stargate Atlantiskink_bingo non-sexual knifeplay fic about an extinct Satedan fruit. I gotta be me.
Looks like I last opened this in 2011 and it's basically complete. Let's gooooo.

Lead Paint on Vintage Corelle Dishes - edited after posting
Jan. 23rd, 2026 04:58 pmpetraMSN report here, from last year. I just learned this today. If I can stop anyone else from being exposed, it's worth a reblog.
The dishes in question are basically ubiquitous in kitchens I have known and loved, so that's not great.
ETA:
Okay, now I'm just confused. The lead levels are both a) high and b) technically legal, and it may not be leaching in any case due to the processes used. I hate living in an era where I don't know which of the seven million articles titled essentially the same thing are bullshit, and which are trustworthy. I figured MSN might fact-check, but apparently Corelle has never issued a recall per se, just a "Okay, we guess you might as well buy new stuff, because it's true there's lead in the old stuff." This info from this article.
