I've been learning more about Juniper, the victim of a transphobic attack in the US, and I wanted to share that she chose her name after Pokémon BW Professor's Juniper. 💔
Her friends are asking, if you can, to donate Pokémon plushies to shelters in her name.
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
Everyone who knew her loved her. No words can describe the heart of gold she had. She loved meteorology, music, singing. She loved playing hollow knight and she loved steven universe. She loved bugs, moths, especially. She loved her dogs. She loved her family. -
Juniper Blessing, 19, has been identified as the Trans teenager who was murdered in Seattle, WA on May 10, 2026. RIP Juniper, I am so very sorry this happened to you.

im a sobbing mess reading this news. she was just a kid. the stab wounds to her hands from trying to defend herself. how terrified she must have been. the cruel brutality of her murder juxtaposed with such a tender name like juniper blessing. im utterly destroyed.
I don’t know if anyone will care about what I am saying, but the outside world must know exactly what is happening here… not later, but now.
What we are experiencing in Gaza has gone beyond the limits of human endurance. The camps have turned into a terrifying hotspot for the spread of diseases. With the beginning of summer and thousands of families crowded into extremely tight spaces next to garbage dumps, illness is spreading rapidly, as if it has become part of daily life. There is also an incomprehensible media silence regarding the scale of this growing health catastrophe, despite repeated warnings from medical teams and field workers.
Skin diseases, infections, and contagious illnesses are spreading widely, especially among children, in an environment that lacks the most basic conditions of hygiene or treatment. Rats are everywhere between the tents, insects are spreading heavily and causing continuous injuries, and there are no means of control such as poisons or pesticides. My nieces are part of this reality… their bodies are covered in painful bites that worsen every day without effective treatment.
The situation is collapsing with no real solutions. Medicines are scarce, disinfectants are almost nonexistent, and unsafe water is contributing directly to the spread of disease, while the healthcare system is beyond its capacity.
As of now, cases are estimated at around 160,000 people and still increasing, most of them children. This is not an exaggeration… it is a complete health collapse inside the camps.
For the death penalty to be truly justice, it would have to be 100% correct 100% of the time. And there is overwhelming evidence that it is not. We have sent too many innocents to their grave for it to EVER be considered a fair and just ruling. It’s evil.
I can’t stop imagining making the choice to run as far as you can from anyone you love so you can hopefully be killed alone. I just. I’m so fucking angry and sad. This is something beyond evil.
