And I'll tell you I want you to know it's a little fucked up

That I'm stuck here waiting, at times debating

Telling you that I've had it with you and your career

Me and the rest of the family here singing, "Where'd you go?”

🧡

Where'd you go? I miss you so

Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone

Where'd you go? I miss you so

Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone

Please come back home

"Nigerians Invest $340.84 Million in Education Over Six Months, Says CBN"

A recent report shows that Nigerians who want to study abroad spent $340.84 million on their university applications from January to June 2023. This information comes from the Central Bank of Nigeria's data on money spent on foreign education. In April 2023, people spent $40.54 million on foreign education, and in May 2023, it was $48.81 million. However, in June 2023, the spending decreased to $32.61 million. Compared to the first quarter of 2023, this is a drop of $96.92 million, or 44.28%. ALSO READ: Interesting stories If we look at the figures from the second quarter of 2022, the situation is worse, with a 50.5% decrease of $124.42 million. The experts believe that the Central Bank's inability to meet the demand for foreign exchange meant that students had to get dollars from Bureau De Change operators because banks were slow in processing their Form A applications. LEARN MORE: Read blogs and articles here!!! Recent data from the UK's Home Office shows a big increase in the number of study visas given to Nigerians. As of June 2022, 65,929 study visas were issued, compared to 20,427 during the same period in 2021. The Central Bank has a backlog of forex demand on the official market, which forces people and businesses to turn to the black market for dollars. This problem is because Nigeria's income from exports has been decreasing due to less investment and lower oil exports. Dr. Anderson Ezeibe, the National President of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, explained that the government's lack of investment in the education sector has had a negative impact. He said that schools in Nigeria need better facilities and equipment to produce well-trained graduates. To solve this, the government should invest more in education so that there's no need for people to study abroad. ALSO CHECK: Affordable products Read the full article

Wow, WOW. It has been... a *hot minute* (cough-sixmonths-cough) since I've shared any real teasers/snippets of my big writing project, WHICH NOW HAS A NAME - that's right, it's no longer going by the working title of "the Trickster!" The fic is officially titled "When Everything's Made to be Broken." Linked the synopsis page, which should link out to the snippets that I've previously posted, in case anyone is like "what was this fic again?" So here we go! I'm getting to a point where even though the story as a whole isn't finished, I might start posting the first few chapters just so I'm no longer sitting on them... The first seven chapters are pretty much done (minus a final read through), and the end is there, it's just the middle of the story that's vexing me. Anyways, this takes place after the other snippets I've posted. Enjoy!

You Were in the Darkness Too

Before long, they were outside of Marquette, driving down backroads that made Loki question whether or not his phone’s GPS was accurate. However, when they turned down a long gravel driveway that led to a clearing with a small farm, he received confirmation that he was, in fact, in the correct location when Theo pointed at where to park.

“Welcome to the farm,” Theo gestured to the property around them, her voice and expression lacking any enthusiasm. Approaching a wooden porch, she gestured towards a shed. “In that shed is the portal I usually use to go home; you’re welcome to use it - get home and actually sleep in your own bed.” Rather than move towards the shed, Theo fished a set of keys out of her pocket and started fiddling with the door. 

“Are you not planning to return home for the evening?” Loki furrowed his brow, glancing between the shed and the door that Theo had, by that point, unlocked and swung open.

“I– no.” Theo grabbed her bag from where she had set it on the porch, slinging it over her shoulder. “This is the house I grew up in; I know it’s just as close as New York with the portal and all, but I think I’d feel better if I stayed here, at least for tonight.”

Her rationale was, though not necessarily logical, understandable. The idea of a familiar setting providing comfort made sense. And though he would have loved to reunite with his own bed, the idea of Theo alone still seemed… wrong.

Why that was, Loki was uncertain.

“Perhaps I might stay with you, then?” Loki blurted out the question. “I don’t mean to impose, however if anything were to happen I think it would be in your best interest to not be alone.”

Theo stilled, mouth hanging slightly open as she processed Loki’s request.

“Loki, you’ve already done so much for me.” She shook her head. “I can’t ask you to cancel all of your plans and postpone going home after such a crazy, exhausting week.”

“You are not asking,” Loki countered, “I am offering.” 

She pursed her lips and peered at Loki. The breeze rustled the trees around them, and in the distance the ebb and flow of waves off the lake provided a wash of ambient sound.

“Um, yeah - come on in.” Theo pushed the door open, reaching in to flick on a light before gesturing for Loki to follow. “But if it’s too much at any point, or you need to go do something, promise me you will go.”

“I swear it.” Loki retrieved his own bag and followed her inside. 

The farmhouse was a sharp contrast to the tower - unlike the modern, minimalist architecture of the tower, he found himself charmed by the quaint, mismatched nature of Mémère’s home. In many ways, the home reminded him of the houses he’d see in Maximoff’s old sitcoms: the furniture seemed to be from decades past, though they weren’t quite as coordinated as on television. 

Photos adorned the walls of the hallway - some old enough to lack color, while others looked as though they were taken yesterday. 

“You can take my bed, I’ll just take the couch.” Theo said, leading Loki into what appeared to be a sitting room.

“You need not sacrifice your bed for me—“

“You just changed all your plans so you could fly with me to a place you’d never been and probably never wanted to visit, all because I was upset about someone you’ve never even met having health problems. Not to mention you just dropped a shit ton of money to change both of our flights, and on a rental car…” She shook her head, turning on more lights as she escorted him through the house. There was a certain sense of relief that came with the realization that some of the fire which Loki associated with Theo had returned. “You deserve a real bed to sleep in, if nothing else.”

“You’ve also worked tirelessly over the previous week, and you carry a great emotional weight,“ Loki countered, “Perhaps we can share?”

Trudging up a flight of stairs, Theo waited until they were both upstairs before replying. “It’s only a queen-size bed, not the California Kings that we have in the tower, so it might be a bit cozy… but if you’re okay with it then sure.”

“We’ve spent time in far closer proximity,” Loki pointed out, to which Theo cracked a smile and rolled her eyes.

“Yeah, but uh… I’m not really feeling up to that tonight.”

“It was not something I even considered, given everything that has taken place.” 

“I didn’t think you were, but I figured I would clarify.” She pushed open a door, flicking on the light. “Welcome to my bedroom.”

In the late night, Loki was presented his first chance to take in the room that Theo called her own. Soft, pale yellow walls and sheer white curtains felt familiar - it was a lighter, softer version of the quarters Theo kept at the tower. The furniture here was not remotely cohesive - a heavy wooden dresser sat in the corner, assorted knick-knacks atop it. Above the dresser, a Van Gogh poster was tacked to the wall - a still-life of a turquoise vase with sunflowers. 

In the corner, an acoustic guitar sat. Next to the guitar, Theo’s closet door sat open - inside, a colorful mix of plaid filled the cramped space. The bed was as large as one could rationally fit in the tight space; atop it, a patchwork quilt provided an injection of color and warmth to the room. 

Perhaps this room was a time capsule of her youth, or maybe it became a melding of her past and present - he couldn’t be entirely sure. 

Neither of them wasted any time getting ready for bed - then again, after capping off a long week with a particularly exhausting day, it was a small miracle that they hadn’t skipped pajamas and fallen asleep in their dayclothes. Loki was the first to lay down; Theo quickly followed, shutting the lights off before slipping beneath the bedclothes and settling in.

Loki stretched out as best he could on the mattress, though Theo was right when she said it was much smaller than Loki’s bed in New York - unless he slept with his head touching the headboard or curled up on his side, his feet would hang off the end of the mattress. 

Theo rolled onto her side, facing Loki. Moonlight from the window reflected off her silver hair, casting an ethereal glow in the dark of night. When Loki turned to face her, he caught her watching him.

“You ought to rest, darling.” He murmured, arching an eyebrow at her.

“I know,” she whispered, “I’m just thinking…”

“About?”

“Today.”

Loki hummed. “Would you like to talk about it?”

Theo faltered for a moment, then shook her head. 

“Is there something I might do to help you rest?” Loki leaned forward until his forehead rested against Theo’s. 

“Just having you here helps.” Theo shrugged, “but, um…”

“What is it?” Loki frowned, trying to catch Theo’s gaze. 

“Could you, um…” Theo shimmied a bit closer, stopping just before they touched.

Relief flooded through Loki at the request. He lifted an arm and nodded, a shy smile curling up on his face. Theo rolled over and slid back until her back pressed against Loki’s chest; he wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.

“I’m here, dove.” He whispered, burying his nose into her hair. The faint whiff of shampoo, with notes of rosemary and lavender, tickled his nose. “Whenever you need, however you need.”

He meant every word.

[luismedilla]

✧ ┆ ( GAEL GARCIA BERNAL, MALE, HOMOSEXUAL, HE/HIM ). Not everyone can say they’ve been to Briar Glen, but LUIS MEDILLA, a 45-YEAR-OLD, SECURITY GUARD, has lived in Briar Glen for SIXMONTHS. This is the city for development and they know it. Living in this extensive town means you meet all kinds of people, we can’t wait to meet and see how LUIS develops.

Open Starters ~ Bio

BASIC INFORMATION ( more will be added HERE )

FULL NAME: Luis Ignacio Monserrat Medilla NICKNAME(S):  When he lived in L.A. his friends and close acquaintances used his middle name or Nacho. At work he'd go by his last name. PREFERRED NAME(S): He was once engaged. She called him Lou. He liked that. BIRTH DATE: January 11 GENDER: Male PRONOUNS: He/Him SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Homosexual NATIONALITY: Mexican-American LIVING CONDITIONS: Lives in a tiny apartment that he fills with plants, eventually would love to have a garden.  OCCUPATION: Security Guard

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

FACE CLAIM: Gael Garcia Bernal EYE COLOR: Green  HAIR COLOR: Dark Brown and going gray  HEIGHT: 5'6" BUILD: Stocky and sturdy. EXERCISE HABITS: Weight training for strength and running to keep him agile. TATTOOS: None visible  MARKS/SCARS: Quite a few scars from fights and his last job. NOTABLE FEATURES: Nose crooked. He's taken a few punches to the face.

SHORT BIO:

Luis worked in personal security in L.A. Easily underestimated for being under six feet in a field where height and bulk are the ideal, Luis has always had to rely on the unexpected. Known for fighting dirty and on occasion leaving people much more hurt than is necessary, it’s not surprising that one day he took it too far on a job. He’s moved to Briar Glen mostly to outrun his reputation, and a past that taught him to be nothing but ruthless. He’s taken a simple security job, which is late nights, alone patrolling. He hopes the isolation will keep him out of trouble.

You know, I'm not a gamester. I don't play computer games all that often, and when I do I don't enjoy them all that much. That said, once every sixmonth there comes upon me a desire to boot up Crusader Kings II and play it for a week or so, and I think it's unfair of my computer to have decided to simply cease its ability to run that program.

Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon’s arrest ends six-month manhunt#Terraform #Labs #cofounder #Kwons #arrest #ends #sixmonth #manhunt

The co-founder of Singapore-based crypto fintech firm Terraform Labs was detained in Montenegro yesterday (Mar. 23). Do Kwon was wanted by the South Korean police, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and Interpol—the latter issued a red notice for his arrest last September. Montenegrin Internal Affairs minister Filip Adžić first shared news of Kwon’s arrest in a Facebook post. Adžić…
