14 year old transgender girl Pauly Likens was unjustly robbed of her life due to trans panic between the dates of June 22nd and July 3rd, 2024. say her name.

i have seen only one or two posts about this, but none of them include her name and it sickens me. Her name is Pauly Likens, a 14 year old transgender girl from Sharon, Pennsylvania who met up with a 29 year old man whom she met on Grindr who was brutally murdered and her body was dismembered because she was a trans girl. she went missing on June 22nd, and her dismembered body was found on July 3rd, 2024. her body was DISMEMBERED and thrown into a river. she was not only murdered but BRUTALLY murdered. she was 14 years old. 14. she couldn't even legally drive yet in the united states. she just barely graduated elementary school.

her mother is fighting for her case to be processed and acknowledged as a hate crime. i am disgusted to find out that my home state of Pennsylvania only considers racial discrimination as real discrimination that can be persecuted by law. gender identities and sexual orientations are not considered at all. lawyers and government officials are also trying to deny that it was a hate crime, because her murderer was a self admitted gay man. i don't care what type of queer you are: there is never an excuse to lay hands on a transgender person just because you don't like how they identify.

this is utterly sickening. to say this wasn't a hate crime is living in denial. i don't care if her murderer was gay. he's a murderer who had a clearly charged reason for doing this. he stole a life from a young transgender girl for no reason other than she identified in a way he didn't like. he's not dangerous because he's gay, nor is he exempt from being transphobic. his sexuality had nothing to do with this. not only was this man a dangerous transphobe, but a predator. a 29 year old man willingly met up with a 14 year old child. this man is dangerous for reasons that have nothing to do with his sexuality. he's a transphobic child predator. he deserves no sympathy or to get off scott free just because he's gay. he willingly met up with Pauly. she didn't force him to do anything. she was a child, and he is an adult.

please say her name. while talking about the dangers of Grindr and how minors should not use it, please include her name. yes Grindr is an extremely dangerous platform for trans women, men, and trans people in general, but that shouldn't be the focus of your conversation about her. don't use her death as a platform to discuss how fucked up grindr is without acknowledging who she was as a person. don't just make her another statistic on a page. she was a real person, a child, who was robbed of her life, and robbed from her community. she is not just another number in a long list of trans panic murders. her life meant something. say her name. fight like hell for Pennsylvania to acknowledge that her death WAS a hate crime. their archaic outdated laws need updating.

her family has a GoFundMe to give her a proper burial, please consider donating or spreading the word about it:

scooby doo is such a weird franchise because it’s really old and very popular. everyone loves scooby doo. they have vague positive feelings about the movies and shows they grew up with. but very few people actually know that much about scooby doo. most people i talk to are really surprised there’s so many movies. they don’t know about the movies past 2004. most people haven’t seen much outside of the live actions and the mook films. when i tell people i’m a big scooby doo fan they’re like yeah i love zombie island. and i’m like oh we’re operating on completely different levels of scooby doo here. you can’t even comprehend the levels of scooby doo i’m about to explain to you.

If I had a nickel for everytime I reference something in the persona fandom I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird I've done it twice.

Also, I'm sorry I've been floundering on the artwork posting, February continues to do its annual "kicking me in my nonexistent nads" so I haven't had time to do ANYTHING I wanted.

This time, I can barely look down without being in immense pain because I somehow pulled a neck muscle walking to the bathroom... (I wish I could make this up. I'm still just as floored as you probably are.)

Also, I wanna take time on this next "big piece." as me and my friend were talking about it; and I don't render as much as I used to. (Like, PRE-Tumblr me rendered way more than I do now) and partially it's because it takes, like, an entire day in and of itself to finish that and I don't really have that kind of time anymore and also I hate rendering. It's my least favorite part of drawing.

You've probably seen VERY tiny inklings of my old rendering but we're going FULL ON now.

Don't say anything, just reblog
