I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Thank God someone bothered to check.

Slain Trans UW Student Identified as Juniper Blessing: “The Most Amazing Human Being”

The family of the 19-year-old atmospheric and earth sciences major released a statement on Thursday.

Headline: Slain Trans UW Student Identified as Juniper Blessing: “The Most Amazing Human Being”

Publisher: Them

Date published: 14th May 2026

Selected text from article:

The 19-year-old transgender student who was fatally stabbed in the laundry room of an off-campus housing complex near the University of Washington on Sunday night has been identified by the medical examiner’s office as Juniper Blessing.

Blessing was a recent graduate of the New Mexico School for the Arts in Santa Fe, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican, who obtained a statement from Blessing’s family.

“Juniper was simply the most amazing human being we have ever known — highly intelligent, extremely talented, and deeply sensitive to the needs of others,” the family wrote via the Santa Fe Human Rights Alliance. “Juniper’s loss not only devastates us but diminishes the world.”

[...]

Blessing was a major in the school’s Department of Atmospheric and Earth Sciences. Alongside the Gender Justice League nonprofit, the Trans Collective at UW has planned an on-campus event for those who wish to grieve Blessing. The groups have asked media not to attend, and for no filming or photography to take place.

it’s so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you don’t have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you don’t have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed

so true there could be any number of undiscovered species down there all of which are none of my business and never will be. peace and love on (the surface of) planet earth 💕

There are ten trillion pictures of flowering trees to the point where they sometimes seem trite and overdone. But then you see a tree in full flower and go holy shit this rules and I've gotta show this to everyone so they can experience the same magic and wonder and there are ten trillion and one pictures of flowering trees

WHO officials admit they are preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran

World Health Organization staff remain ‘vigiliant’ in the event of a nuclear incident

[quasi-normalcy]

If this administration even looks funny at nuclear bombs, it's time to get a million people to descend on Washington and dispose of the lot of them. I'm sorry, but this is a line that CANNOT be crossed.

so many misguided metaphors around violence and desire. if the open maw of a panting beast fills you with the want to be devoured, that does not make you prey. while the rabbit trembles in fear, its deepest desire is to run. evolution demands it. in fact, the desire to be eaten does not make you any small animal at all.

it makes you a fruit.

I don’t think America should be burned to the ground because I think you people need to start caring more about indigenous people and their land first.

[this-is-trans-joy]

Like, I understand the sentiment but 9 times out of 10 I hear this sort of stuff from people who do not include indigenous rights in their activism, and rather depend on violent slogans to rid themselves of responsibility to their community, as if they’d prefer to have a pissing contest over who can hate America the most instead of, like… work on restoring land rights to Native Americans or engage with their real life communities.

The American government is a genocidal machine built upon the deaths of millions of Black and Brown people, both in America and oversees, but white people on tumblr would rather joke about burning it all to the ground instead of talk to the people whose land it belongs to and actively work on involving them in their activism.

Like, I don’t talk too much about my politics here, but the landback movement is my main point of activism (not just in America, but in every country across the world) and unfortunately, this tankie-led website always gets suspiciously quiet whenever indigenous people in their own country want to talk about restoring their land, because it doesn’t really fit into their (originally white European) idea of destroying everything from the ground up and turning it into some communist utopia.

Like, I also don’t think you care much about people oversees either, you just kinda want an outlet for your violent fantasies.
