Someday, I am going to write mind-blowing poems and live the big writer's dream: teach, MFA, breathe in the same air as John Ashbery did, fellowships, recognition, "bam bam" with the big poets.

See the Amount of Young people lined up at Inec office yaba to register for their PVC today. The youths have woken up!

Only him had used deep poverty to cure problems Fuel queues — gone. because he took fuel drive from 160 to 1400 in just 3 years. Let’s see if your father can afford it let alone queue for it ASUU strikes — gone. He captured the agency, dissolved all bodies, took away educational fundings. Within 3 years, most schools had more than 300% increase in school fees. Poor man dropping from school. Yet no one could speak for them because he destroyed all the agencies that can speak before hitting them with pain State bankruptcies — Worsening. We just kept borrowing more and more WITH NO RESULT. Before, if govt borrows, they’ll try to do something for citizens before stealing the rest. This one steals with impunity. Award 3.3 trillion to power (the same) project 3 times in 3 years with nothing better. Electricity — people now pay more than 300% increase for the same uselessness. An average Nigeria can’t even guarantee a 12 hour electricity in a day. With all the money said to have been pumped in this sector. This is a big shame. Insecurity — Worse than ever before. Now police don’t even interfere in kidnapping again. They just ask you to pay ransom. Private sector exits — Worsened. Almost all companies had exited Nigeria NGX decline — Naira had gone all time low. He took it from about 400 to 1400. More than 300% decrease Food inflation — so bad than a Tiber of yam has to be cut in slices for Nigerians to be able to afford it. I didn’t even know how much of a failure this man is until I realized you didn’t even have anything good he did to campaign. This is the Worst President ever in the history of Nigeria. We all should be angry and ensure he doesn’t see that sit again Quote

fee waivers, any? I so much love The Berlin Review.

Woke up to this and I’m honestly overwhelmed 🙏🏽 Thank you to everyone who has reposted and supported so far ❤️ I’m still trying to reach the $500 (₦690,000) acceptance fee before April 15. Every single support brings me closer. Please let’s keep this going

I ask again, who made a 2:1 or 2:2 in school and is interested in applying for international scholarships from this year to next year? This thing feels overwhelming.😔😔

"Louise could derive and understand entire relationships and family feuds from just a few lines. How impossible it was to hide from her; how exhilarating, almost shockingly so, to listen to her." @AriaAber on the late Louise Glück: yalereview.org/article/aria-a…

Mine is @yalereview; for all the time I submitted to them, they offered me waivers, which helped me to get my works to their editors. This year, I will try again because I think I have some 'good' poems for them. So, I am waiting for their open call for poems. Luv to you, Yale ☺️

Queer lives and stories matter!

“I challenge you, not even 5 MPs here would be able to explain what LGBTQIA+ means. Why should people without this knowledge be allowed to make this Bill? This Bill must be sent to a select committee.” - Rajya Sabha MP from INC Telangana @RenukaCCongress

I have officially resigned as the Southern States Representative of the National Council for Transgender Persons (NCTP). The Ministry passed the #TransgenderAmendmentBill2026 without consulting the Council. I cannot hold a seat where our voices are silenced. I stand with my community. 🏳️‍⚧️ #NCTP #KalkiSubramaniam #TransRightsAreHumanRights #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #RejectTransAmendmentBill2026

PLEASE please watch this and talk about trans people in India. They have now introduced a new bill which criminalises transitioning and helping someone in doing so.

Protests continue across the country against the (anti) Transgender Rights Bill introduced by the BJP government! #NoGoingBack The community is united to #RejectTransBill2026 ✊🏽🏳️‍⚧️

Please support our queer and trans kin and loved ones in the subcontinent right now! All that they have fought for over the past decades is about to be legally invalidated and, furthermore, criminalized!

10 reasons why you should care about the trans bill: 1. Empathy 2. Empathy 3. Empathy 4. Empathy 5. Empathy 6. Empathy 7. Empathy 8. Empathy 9. Empathy 10. Empathy
