AGPs everywhere for those with eyes to see

As more details emerge about Juniper, I cannot help but feel despair. Not just the despair that comes from sadness, but the deep, soul wrenching pain that comes with losing family. It does not matter that I never knew her personally, her life was no less precious. And I mourn her as if I knew her. Because when a trans woman is brutalized, stabbed over and over with such cruelty, many of us feel that terror and grief in our bones. We see ourselves, our friends, our brothers, our sisters, enbies reflected back in that violence. I learned the full story at work, it nearly brought me to tears. I was unable to focus, the grief clung so heavily in my chest. On top of all that, is the exhaustion that comes from watching trans lives repeatedly treated as disposable, not even in the wake is she spared from vicious comments. Juniper deserved safety. She deserved dignity. She deserved the chance to grow old, to laugh, to love, to exist. Ffs she was only 19! She deserved so much better, and my heart will mourn her and so many others we have lost along the way. There's so much more I want to say but I'll leave it at this. Her name is Juniper Blessing. Rest in peace sister.

Honestly, I get why Arayashu isn’t everyone’s kind of ID. String Severance and Entanglement basically force HoS IDs, so right now there isn’t much room for interesting teambuilding.
