I went round in circles trying to think what my action should be, but I'm a crafter not a bullet engraver. The most vicious thing I could see myself doing was sending threatening decoupage.

I landed on building community with my neighbours, and have started be giving homegrown produce (mainly kale and loofah), homemade bread and free childcare in my neighbourhood (just a couple of hours a week). I'm also just not spending money until I must, and being more conscious when I must.

The death of the united Healthcare CEO started me thinking, and made me take action. It's small action, but it's within my ability. What did it do for you?

(Pic: my photo but not my craft, I bought these fingerpuppets a long time ago, but of course now I have a fave)

How fucking dumb are these asshats? Calling boycotts of a shitty product which is first amendment protected activity, illegal? Super dumb Promising to make even more of these cars when his company already struggles to sell them and they sit in lots collecting dust for years? Then promising that these cars will either be self driving or they wont drive at all, which is his way of saying he will finally succeed in delivering FSD after over a half a decade of continuously failed promises to deliver, in his own extremely moronic grasp of the english language.

This is nothing more than a fucking dumpster fire fueled with weapons grade plutonium levels of stupidity.

By censoring Luigi, they are bringing more awareness to the fact they are afraid of Luigi. The Verge already published an article about the changes, thus bringing more attention to it. Lol.

Given that LM's mail catalog was shared on Luigimangioneinfo.com today (and here), and we can see that he's STILL receiving mail that was posted in December, I'd like to ship the card on Monday, 3/10.

Please, please, please share the link with anyone who would be interested in leaving a message. I saw that someone shared the link on TikTok which spiked submissions over the last 24 hours!

So this is a fun thought exercise. Here I dig into my Catholic upbringing and try to make a stretched doctrinal case for why literally praying to St. Luigi might just actually make sense from a religious perspective. I'm no longer a practicing Catholic myself, so take it as you will. This is just me trying to stretch doctrine to see if I can argue that praying to a literal St. Luigi may actually be doctrinally viable.

Inquiring minds want to know. If one wishes to take things too far and take the "St. Luigi" thing literally, how can that be possible? Can you really pray to a saint for divine intervention, when that saint is clearly still a mortal man walking among the living?

First, on saints. There are official saints of the Church, but technically those are just the ones that the Church has decided that beyond any reasonable doubt are actually in Heaven. But according to doctrine, there are likely millions of saints, people that have reached Paradise and can intercede on mortal behalf. We've only had enough evidence, such as repeated miracles, to provide enough evidence for the official list. And the canonization process involves miracles attributed to unofficial saints. Usually someone will pray to someone that isn't on the official list, and when they receive some purported miracle, such as an unlikely cancer recovery, that is attributed as a miracle to that unofficial saint. In fact, the only way someone can become an official saint is if people pray to them while they are an unofficial one.

So, that's how one might pray to St. Luigi, even though he isn't a recognized saint. But what about mortality? The man is clearly not in Heaven right now, he's sitting in jail. How can one possibly pray to a living man for divine intervention?

But here's where the doctrinal loophole comes in! You see, technically, Heaven exists outside of time and space. Time need not work the same way there it does here. If the spirit of a saint can reach beyond the bounds of the universe to intercede on mortal behalf, they can also reach across time as well. Heaven exists outside of space and time.

So if one prays to St. Luigi, you are not actually praying to the mortal man sitting in a jail in New York. Rather, you are praying to his ascended soul, which has the ability to intercede both forwards and backwards in time. Maybe Luigi will be executed. Maybe he'll live a long life and die of old age. But when he does, he will ascend to Paradise and become a saint. And he can then answer prayers from anyone, in any place, in any time.

So yeah, if that's your thing, doctrinally, a case can be made that it is perfectly fine to pray to a literal St. Luigi!

Luigi's response to a letter he received from a woman whose daughter had been screwed around by UHC.

Dear Karen,

Your letter is the first to make me tear up. I am so, so sorry for what you and your daughter so senselessly had to endure.

Pictures sent via mail are photocopied in a blurry black and white, but if you use ("Free Prints" app) you are able to send one in color. It requires my address and registration # (52503-511). If you are able to send a photo of you/your daughter or the mosaic it would mean a great deal to me. I will put it up on my prison cell wall next to your letter.

Your daughter is blessed to have a mother who loves her so much and fights for her so relentlessly.

Best, Luigi Mangione
