Note: if you get triggered easily by irl death mentions or generally sad stories, I encourage you to move on from this and maybe talk to someone about it. (Scratch team please don’t take this down, it’s important) I repeat, continuing is your choice ——— This is part of an art tribute to Nex Benedict. Please see the original project if you want to enter :] Rest in power Nex :( </3 ——— “On February 7th, a 16 year old nonbinary student named Nex Benedict was beat by three bullies in a school bathroom, because of their pronouns and the way they were dressed. The next day, Nex was rushed to the hospital because he had trouble breathing, where they died later that day.” ——— Some facts about Nex: - nex was a straight-A student - they had a cat named Zeus - he used he/they pronouns - they loved drawing - he had been bullied for around a year due to his gender identity prior the attack ——— Rest in power, Nex Benedict. We won’t forget you. Thanks to anyone who shows support, or shares the word, we need to get this heard. It’s injust and horrific that this happened to such a young person for their identity. It must stop. ——— “But I’m in the trees, I'm in the breeze, my footsteps on the ground. You’ll see my face, in every place, but you can’t catch me now.” … “I’m here, I’m there, I’m everywhere but you can’t catch me now.” ——— Edits: 3/3/2024 [trigger warnings] 8/3/2024 [added some facts about Nex </3]
