Feels Like Home

The playground was complete and utter chaos. The kids in your class were completely crazy at the prospect of going on the field trip to the activity farm and petting zoo, but right now you needed them to calm the hell down so you could count them onto the bus the school had hired for the trip.

“Class… Class please, quieten down!”

Your voice was drowned out by the sound of fifty over excited six and seven year olds, and that’s when you heard it.

“COMBAT LINES AT THE READY!”

The voice sent a shiver down your spine and put an immediate smile on your face, turning to see your husband Henry walking into the playground and smiling at the kids in front of you.

The last week had been tough for you. You’d spent it at your parents house as the bathroom in your cottage with Henry had been refitted, so rather than have to haul your now six month pregnancy bump up and down the stars ten times a night to the shower room off of the kitchen that you’d installed to cope with Henry’s rugby playing, you’d upped sticks and chose to stay with your parents whilst Henry enjoyed a week of not being woken up by your constant tossing and turning. That leads onto why he was joining the staff on the field trip, having offered to be an additional helper so you wouldn’t have to spend the entire day on your feet. His own classes at the high school had now entered study leave ahead of their GCSE exams, so he was a free agent. It had also meant he had started an after school club at your school where he would teach general athletics and a way to tire out the more energetic kids on a friday afternoon. His call out motto that he’d just shouted, and even the kids that didn’t take the class followed the ones that did and within a minute they were all standing in neat lines and in utter silence.

Soon the kids were safely on the bus in their assigned seats, the other teachers running through the safety tips and how the 30 minute ride to the farm was going to go. As you approached the steps you found Henry was directly behind you, and as you lifted your foot onto the first step up you had to suppress the squeal as he splayed both of his huge hands over your ample behind;

“Let me help you up there Mrs Cavill”

He practically launched you up the two other steps, causing you to try and bat his hands away before any of the eagle eyed students saw, instead just the head teacher caught onto what he’d just done, hiding her smile behind her clipboard as she called down the bus for the kids to get settled. As the pair of you settled in seats towards the front Henry pulled his arm around your shoulders;

“So, ready to come home tonight?”

You turned and looked at him in shock;

“The builders are done already?”

He grinned and nodded;

“Yup. Finished late last night, i’ve hired a cleaning maid to get rid of all the dust and make it completely polished by the time we get back this afternoon”

You excitedly shuffle danced in your seat, Henry laughing as you pregnant belly jiggled;

“I’ll make sure the bath is full by the time you get up the stairs”

The school trip was exhausting, but the kids absolutely loved it. Covered in dust, straw, and a sheen of sticky melted ice cream, they were quiet on the bus ride back to school, some even falling asleep as the bus was stuck in traffic. By the time you arrived back at school the parents were waiting and it was a rush to get everyone off and handed over to their grown ups, and by the time the last child had left all you wanted to do was sit down.

“Are you ready to leave?” Henry asked as he carried all the additional supplies into school the staff had taken on the trip

“I’ve got to prep the classroom for Monday, but it should only be 30 minutes. You head home, no need to wait around”

He dumped the bags in the office before turning to you and wrapping his long arms around your expanding waistline;

“I’ll wait, i walked here this morning so i can drive you home, i missed you this week”

He pressed a kiss to the top of your head before you sighed and wriggled from his grasp, waddling off to your classroom to set out the reading books and pencil pots for after the weekend.

By the time you were close to finishing prepping for the following week your ankles were swollen and you felt ready to drop. Henry saw you were suffering and without a word steered you to your chair as he told you he would finish up, you just needed to instruct him.

"So each table needs workbooks?"

"Yeah, and the copies of animal worksheets"

You watched as your husband carefully made his way around the room, his giant stance making him seem like Gulliver setting up a classroom in Lilliput. You couldn't help but to giggle which caught his attention;

"What's tickling your knickers?" He asked

"Just finding it comical how huge you look compared to the tiny chairs and desks, Gulliver and his Lilliput classroom"

Henry finished stocking the tables and sauntered over to you, a smirk on his face;

"Didn't they tie him down in that movie?"

Raising an eyebrow you returned his smirk;

"You want me to tie you down?"

"Only if you sit on my face" He pressed a kiss to your lips before helping you to your feet.

"Well i need a shower… or bath first, before we do that… a day waddling around a farm and i'm ripe"

As he steered you out of the classroom he rested a hand on your stomach;

"Mmmm ripe"

Laughing you swatted at his arm;

"Keep it under control Cavill"

He held the car door open for you he swatted your ass;

"Just get in the car woman, i've missed you this week, gotta make up for lost time, need to empty my balls before they burst"

Rolling your eyes you stretched the seatbelt across you before tucking it under and above your bump. You'd missed him too, so much.

You sipped on a cool glass of lemonade as Henry unloaded the car, before carrying your things into the kitchen and pressing a kiss to your cheek;

“I’m going to start running your bath, back down in a second”

You heard him take the stairs two at a time, before the telltale sound of water running. By the time he returned you’d finished your drink, pushing yourself to stand before he suddenly lifted you bridal style into his arms;

“HENRY! Put me DOWN!”

“Nope”

“You are going to do yourself an injury! Or drop me!”

“Not if you stop wriggling, i can hip thrust more than you and bump weigh, and i’m upping my weights so i can do it right up until you’re a full 9 months”

You knew full well he could bench press a ridiculous amount of weights, same with hip thrusts that you may or may not - you totally did - have watched repeatedly when he’d posted it on his instagram. You clung to him nervously as he carried you up the stairs before he grinned at you;

“Close your eyes”

You did as he asked before he pushed the door to the new bathroom open with his foot and gently set you down;

“Okay, you can open them now”

You were completely in awe of the stunning job Henry had coordinated on the bathroom, gone were the floral 90s tiles and avocado coloured bath, now it was clean white tiles with aged wooden accents, a pristine enormous bath with a separate double shower on the opposite wall;

“Oh Henry… its… amazing” you couldn’t even help it as you burst into tears, pregnancy hormones becoming completely overwhelming.

Henry wrapped his arms around your stomach as he stood behind you, and it was only when your dress dropped to the floor did you realise he’d been unbuttoning you. Your bra was next to go, before he hooked his fingers into your knickers and pulled them down your legs. Taking your hand he helped you into the bath, passing you a glass of champagne;

“Henry, i can’t drink that”

“It's non-alcoholic. Now sit back and let me switch the bubbles on”

“Bubbles?”

He pressed a button on the side of the bath near the taps and suddenly you were surrounded by therapeutic spa bubble jets;

“Ohhh…”

You rested your head back and let them play over your aching body, before you peeked and saw that Henry was undressing.

“Joining me?”

“In a moment, i’m going to shower first”

“Ooooh a drink and a show” you winked making him laugh.

For two solid minutes you gratuitously watched Henry shower, admiring how the new shower screen stayed fog free giving you a unhindered view of his naked body covered in soapy bubbles. You even let out a disappointed grunt when he shut the water off, only to be able to watch as he stepped out dripping wet and sauntered towards you. You could barely keep your eyes still, the feast before you one adonis would have envied; from his wide shoulders and thick chest down to his thick muscled thighs, but the crowning glory was his heavy thick cock that swung between his legs, growing a little fuller as he watched you watching him;

“Like what you see?”

You reached out and softly cupped his heavy sack now that he was within reach;

“Hmmm, yes very full”

“Scoot forwards, let me slip in behind you”

Doing as he said, the water sloshed around as you moved forwards, getting quite the view as Henry swung his leg over the side to get in just as you turned your head, the wet slap of his heavy dick against your face resulting in a ‘whoops’ as Henry slid ungracefully into the bath behind you followed by a good five minutes of giggles.

When you had both eventually calmed down Henry had wrapped his arms around your torso, his legs either side of your hips and so was effectively caging you in. If felt so good to be completely surrounded by him as you rested your head back against his shoulder;

“I missed this”

“Me too” he softly nuzzled at the side of your head, pressing a kiss to your earlobe as he hands found your breasts and he hummed out an appreciative moan; “Oh these are getting bigger”

“Henry… they’re tender, please be gentle”

“I will babe, I will”

His massive handspan was starting to struggle to encompass your growing breasts, but as he softly cradled them and worked his warm palms over them you could feel your arousal growing. When he dared to carefully caress your nipples you let out a moan, your back arching as you pushed them into his touch;

“Oh Henry”

“Do you like that? You want more?”

You paused for a moment as you found your voice;

“I want you Henry… I need you inside me…”

Henry quickly moved his hands, gripping your hips and thighs just to lift you a little as he angled his hips beneath you, his hardened length seeking out your core like a heat seeking missile. When he breached your body and let you slowly sink down onto his fat dick he was the one to let out a low rumble;

“Oh god… that feels like home…” he grunted a couple of times as he tried to control himself, before letting out a string of curses; “Oh. Oh god… OH. Fuck fuck, so fucking tight, oh shit…”

You had to cling to the sides of the bath as you suddenly felt him buck beneath you, the telltale feeling of him cumming in you as he cursed between strangled cries, before he wrapped his arms around your torso and lay back, letting you rest against his chest as he lost control of his loins and filled you with his creamy seed.

He let out a shaky breath Henry rested his forehead against your shoulder;

“Fuck. I’m so sorry”

Curling your arm above you, you cradled the back of his head, before gently taking his other hand and pushing it to the juncture of your thighs;

“Don’t be… but i’m close Henry…”

As his fingers dived through your folds to seek out your clit, you could still feel his shaft within you, semi hard and swollen, filling your tight walls and plugging his spend deep within you. You felt the rumble in his chest as he circled your clit in tight circles, knowing exactly what you liked after all the years you’d been together. His lips brushed against your neck as he never relented on his clitoral attack, just as his free hand found its way to your breasts, gentleness forgotten as he pawed at your swollen globes, pinching your sensitive nipples. It was all too much stimulation and you came with a cry, your walls gripping and squeezing him so tight he almost gurgled his moan, a litany of curses following that were the soundtrack to your orgasm.

You both sat there in the bubbly water in the afterglow of your mutual bliss, before you shifted and you felt that Henry was now fully hard again;

“Hen!”

“I can’t help it my love… your cunt is like a vice, and i haven’t had it in a week” he smoothed his hands over your swollen belly; “C’mon, time to get out, i need to bend you over and rail you from behind for a good twenty minutes before we order some dinner”

At the mention of dinner you were already pulling yourself up and out of the bath, Henry laughing as you wallowed around and went to grab a towel.

“No no, no towels, i want you wet and slippery”

Giggling you entered the bedroom and stopped in your tracks, letting out a gasp as you looked around. Henry had not only decorated the room with strings of fairy lights and fake ivy to give it a woodland feel, he’d assembled the small bedside crib and filled it with Peter Rabbit toys;

“Oh Henry, its beautiful!”

Wrapping his arms around you he rested his chin on your shoulder, swaying his body against your own;

“So are you. Now get on the bed, i need to defile your body in this little woodland glade”

You turned and raised an eyebrow as he laughed;

“I found your book you’d been reading at night; ‘A Woodland Romance’... i never knew those girly fantasy books were so spicy”

You cupped his cheek;

“Well now you know… c’mon…” you grabbed his hand and walked him to the bed; “Time to do things it’ll give Peter Rabbit nightmares”

“Mmmm…” he grinned and his eyes turned a little darker with lust.

You weren’t sure you could be any more in love with this man than you already were, but in that moment you fell for him even more.

Last month, nonbinary teenager Nex Benedict was found dead at homethe day after an altercation at school, where they were attacked by a group of their classmates in a restroom.

Benedict, a 16-year-old Indigenous person who used both he/him and they/them pronouns according to friends and family, had been targeted by bullies at their Oklahoma high school because of their gender identity, according to Sue Benedict, who has been identified in various media reports as either Nex Benedict's mother or their grandmother and guardian.

"I didn't know how bad it had gotten," Sue Benedict told The Independent.

Though the school nurse determined that ambulance service was not required following the attack on Benedict, it was recommended that they "visit a medical facility for further examination," Owasso, Okla., police said.

Sue Benedict told Public Radio Tulsa that she took Nex to the hospital for treatment for injuries sustained in the fight, but body cam footage shows a police officer discouraging the family from filing a report, saying that it would open up the family to legal liability.

The officer added that it would be a shame for any of the students to have to deal with a criminal situation for "something so minuscule," though Benedict disclosed that they had experienced bullying for a full year prior to this attack.

The day after the incident, Benedict collapsed at home, and was later pronounced dead.

Owasso Public Schools released a statement to the community, writing, "The loss of a student, a member of the Ram Family and the Owasso community, is devastating," but said it would limit its statements "out of respect and for the confidentiality for all involved."

Following Benedict's death, community members held vigils, LGBTQ+ rights organizations issued statements, and many were left wondering: What happened to Nex Benedict?

Questions over the medical examiner's findings

According to the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's office, Benedict died by suicide.

"From the beginning of this investigation, Owasso Police observed many indications that this death was the result of suicide," the police department saidin a statement, with a summary autopsy report saying that Benedict died after consuming two different types of medication.

Many expressed their condolences following the alleged findings, including President Biden.

"Every young person deserves to have the fundamental right and freedom to be who they are, and feel safe and supported at school and in their communities," Biden said in a statement following the news, adding that Benedict, "a kid who just wanted to be accepted, should still be here with us today."

"In memory of Nex, we must all recommit to our work to end discrimination and address the suicide crisis impacting too many nonbinary and transgender children," the president added.

Rates of suicide are disproportionately high for transgender youth in comparison to their cisgender counterparts, but transgender people of color face even higher rates of suicide risk.

In a 2023 national survey on LGBTQ+ youth mental health by the Trevor Project, an LGBTQ+ anti-suicide organization, Native/Indigenous youth LGBTQ+ consistently reported the highest suicide risk among racial and ethnic groups, with nearly one in four Indigenous LGBTQ+ youth reporting attempts on their own lives.

But advocates, supporters, and even Benedict's own family have remained skeptical of the report, which is slated to be released in full within the next 10 days. The autopsy summary did not include the exact amounts of each medication found in Benedict's system.

"Rather than allow incomplete accounts to take hold and spread any further, the Benedicts feel compelled to provide a summary of those findings which have not yet been released by the Medical Examiner's office, particularly those that contradict allegations of the assault on Nex being insignificant," said a press release from the Benedict family attorneys.

The release also showed a section of the summary autopsy report, which reported that while Benedict did not sustain "lethal trauma," they did have multiple injuries to their head, neck and torso, which the lawyers say clearly shows "the severity of the assault."

"There is nothing in this one page document to explain why the medical examiner checked a box," said Sarah-Kate Ellis, president and CEO of GLAAD, on the decision to list suicide as Benedict's cause of death.

"Media must have learned by now that they need to continue to question what they get from law enforcement and government entities in Oklahoma that have so far failed to protect vulnerable students and responsibly provide any information that is critical for student safety," Ellis said.

Sue Benedict told The Independent that Nex started being bullied at school after Oklahoma's Republican governor, Kevin Stitt, signed a bill in 2022that forbade trans and nonbinary youth from using bathrooms concurrent with their gender identities.

In 2023, Stitt followed up the bathroom ban with a ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth in the state, one of 87 anti-trans bills that passed in the U.S. last year, according to the Trans Legislation Tracker.

Just three months into the current year, 523 anti-trans bills have been introduced in state legislatures.

And trans youth report that these legal restrictions on their freedom are having direct impacts on their mental health.

According to the Trevor Project's survey,nearly one in three LGBTQ+ youth said their "mental health was poor most of the time or always due to anti-LGBTQ policies and legislation."

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) said in a statement, "We must demand better from our elected officials and reject harmful anti-transgender legislation at the local, state and federal levels, while also considering every possible way to make ending this violence a reality."

What happens next?

On March 1, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights (OCR) notified the Human Rights Campaign that in response to an HRC complaint filed around Benedict's death, the office would be investigating the Owasso public school district for potential violations of Title IX, which prevents discrimination based on sex, and Title II, which stipulates that schools must prevent bullying and harassment.

However, the timeline for the investigation is unknown.

"The goal of an OCR investigation is to determine whether an alleged civil rights violation took place and to decide what district reforms are appropriate based on what the investigation uncovered," Rachel Perera, a governance studies fellow at the Brookings Institution, wrote.

While the OCR can withdraw federal funding from a school district if the investigation finds violations of civil rights law, "enforcement actions are rare," added Perera in her written commentary.

The case could also potentially be referred to the Department of Justice for further action, but what will come out of the investigation and whether its findings will be escalated still remains to be seen.

Many are hoping that Benedict's death could spur further action that aims to deter bullying in schools.

"Reforms creating school environments that are built upon the pillars of respect, inclusion and grace, and aim to eliminate bullying and hate, are the types of change that all involved should be able to rally behind," said the Benedict family's counsel.

But Sue Benedict is still mourning her loss.

"I just want my child back," she said.

bokura no kiseki

I screamed at the most recent chapter(129 for reference).

not only is Zeku my favorite and it HURT me that it really brought homethe body horror of being aware that you could get your past lifes memories as he watched his friends around him deal with that. How he desperately avoided it til it was too late and he got his memories...only to turn out to be prince Eugene. husband of princess veronica/our main character who was responsile for the attack on the fort and exploading everyone so his friends balk around him to some degree despite knowing its unfair to Zeke.

but FINALLY we get to see Zeke tell our main character Eugene’s motives and thoughts.....but god....up til now he had been under the impression that Eugene hadn’t valued and had betrayed Princess Veronica to the highest order...but while the betrayal still stands...we find out his motives were basically to stop the use of a magic nuke in war...and then it turned out...he WASN’T indifferent to Veronica. Eugene had commited to what he was going to do...but he is still human...and he thought...even if it was selfish on him...that he wabnted the person he cared for to live and find happyness even with someone else for the short time she has before death.

logic wise he knows that veronica wouldn’t bite..she is loyal and a good princess who cares about the people in her fort.

but god....minami finding out that in fact Eugene actually did care about Veronica......

like...guy I SHIP minami with his girlfriend/female knight from the past. they are adorableeven as it can feel challeged and unfair when someone who fell for the ptincess in the past life who was encouraged by the lady knight to confess ended up falling for the princess/miniami in the second life as well and was two late on getting closure.

but DAMN. the chemistry and WEIGHT when it comes to Eugene and Veronica have affected Zeke and Minami’s dynamic...that here in this chapter....screamed and almost cried....I shouldnt want them bakc together. it doesnt change it was a betrayal that cost people lives and had a lack of communication that especially hurt miniami and princess veronica due to her having the memories the longest. and Minami already has a girlfriend and seems happy and moving on is probably the best way....

but DAMN I actually wished for a moment that Minami and Zeke could get together even though I know I’m not going to get that. like that confession was a lifetime too late. like...does it help that eugene actually loved Veronica or give more complicated emotions for our minami to shift through?

Six Sentence Sunday 06.05.22 / Mood Music Monday

I don’t know how many of you guys on the fandom here are stranger things fans, but I am, and this has completely skewed a lot of my writing for the past week, as in I’ve not done much writing because I’ve been watching and or re-watching Part 1 of Season 4 Stranger Things. Episode 4 in particular, if you know the one. This even is affecting my Mood Music Monday submission. And this week, it’s all about The Rotten Apple.

What I’ve posted in the last week or so:

The Blue Honey Cafe: Trust Fall

Original Post Update: 06/05/22 at 4:30PM EST.

Chapter Ten: Home Away From Home

The Book: TRH & Beyond

The Series: The Rotten Apple 🍎

Pairing: Liam x Riley / Eleanor x Nico (Eleanor x M!OC)

Status: Writing for this chapter is complete

Nico sat plates of food in front of Liam and Elle first, then he went back to make his own.

"Thank you."

“You’re welcome.”

All three ate in silence for a few minutes.

“Eleanor, I need you to know this situation is temporary; you’re only here until we can get Eliana stable and comfortable with Nico so he can take her home, you will return to the hospital. In the meantime, you will continue the medications you are on, and therapy on an outpatient basis. Do you understand?”

“I understand. I know there’s something wrong with me Father, and that I hurt people. People I didn’t mean to.”

Her eyes slowly drifted up to Nico across the table, his eyes met hers only for a brief second before he abruptly jumped up from the table.

“I’m going to finish this in my room, and give you two some privacy.”

Elle looked completely heartbroken as Nico walked away. When her gaze returned to Liam he had been intently watching the whole display.

“Ellie….”

“I ruined everything. He hates me.”

“Eleanor, tell me, what's the opposite of love?”

“Hate?”

Liam shook his head. “No Baby Love it’s not. It’s indifference. From what I see, it took a lot for Nico to come back here, and given the nature of the relationship you had with him, and what happened to Nicolai, he has to have very complex and conflicting feelings when it concerns you. The two of you are forever bound together because of Ana, and what I see radiating from him is neither indifference or hate. It’s pain, Eleanor. I can’t tell you what to expect, or if you can expect anything at all from him right now, or ever again. He’s doing the best he emotionally can. You said it right at the hospital, the two of you need to focus on putting Eliana first. She needs the both of you. She is where your attention needs to lie for now.”

Mood Music Monday Submission

Chapter 11: A Deal With God

The Series: The Rotten Apple 🍎

Pairing: Liam x Riley / Eleanor x Nico (Eleanor x M!OC)

Status: Still in the Writing Process

Song Inspiration: Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush

“Don’t you realize Nico, had I not abdicated the throne, our child would have been next in line behind me for the crown? She could have been Queen someday. Do you know how important that makes her? She needs to be protected at all costs, because who she is makes her a target, because of who they think I am.”

“I wasn’t thinking about it like that.”

“Maybe it’s time you start.”

Elle focused her attention staring out the window, while the Kingsguard circled the general area of their apartment, to lose the paparazzi before returning.

They arrived back at the apartment a few hours later.

“Your Majesty, we have a problem.”

“I’m well aware of the situation.”

Liam tapped the remote, turning off the television.

“Eleanor, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?

“I’m sorry Father. I messed up. I got angry with Nico because of a woman.”

“The press is making me out to be… my father, that I’m hiding you and your child like some dirty secret, a scandal. When I’m trying to protect you Eleanor from what you did. I’m trying to protect you, and you are NOT making it easy for me.”

“Father I didn’t mean to… I’m sorry.”

She felt him before she saw him and heard him speak. He finally had emerged again.

“Eleanor, is there one person you can’t disappoint?”

“I messed up again. I’m really trying to hold it together, but I can’t.”

Liam’s phone began to ring.

“Riley, I can't talk right now. I will call you back shortly. Do not speak to anyone. I mean it.”

“It’s my fault, Your Majesty. Elle was right to get angry with me. I let a stranger near our daughter.”

There should’ve never been any speculation as to whether Tory shot Meg. This was never a case of an agenda against Black men but it has always revealed how little Black women are valued. Shame on everyone who attacked and called her a liar. Y’all can go to hell !

‘Going through torture’: Megan Thee Stallion testifies against Tory Lanez

Abené Clayton in Los AngelesTue 13 Dec 2022 21.42 EST

Megan Thee Stallion delivered emotional testimony on Tuesday in the trial of Tory Lanez, the fellow musician and former friend who allegedly shot her following a party in Los Angeles.

“I don’t wanna be on this Earth,” Pete said at one point during a daylong testimony. “I wish he woulda shot and killed me if I knew I would go through this torture.”

Pete was often overcome with emotion and sniffled softly as the Los Angeles county prosecutor Kathy Ta questioned her about the early morning shooting on 12 July 2020.

Ta showed Pete and the courtroom police body-camera footage of Pete being ordered out of a large black vehicle and hobbling to the sidewalk with her feet bleeding. Video of the rapper crying heavily in the back of an ambulance caused Pete to wipe her nose as she relived it.

Megan Thee Stallion's shooting shows the world still doesn't care about Black women

Tayo Bero

“I can’t believe I have to come in here and do this,” Pete, 27, said while on the witness stand.

Tory Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, faces over 22 years in prison if he is convicted on all three felony counts he faces. Peterson, 30, has maintained his innocence and has accused Pete of lying.

Throughout the prosecutor’s questioning, Peterson’s attorney, George Mgdesyan, fervently objected several times during Pete’s recounting of the events that led to the car ride that precipitated the shooting.

Pete said the incident had taken place following a party at Kylie Jenner’s house. An argument broke out after Peterson revealed to Pete’s longtime friend Kelsey Harris that he and Pete had been intimate. Harris is also slated to testify during the trial.

At some point during the car ride, Peterson turned around in the vehicle and told Pete to stop lying to Harris about their relationship. Pete said on Tuesday she and Petersonhad become friends after they both lost their mothers, and they had sometimes had sexual relations with each other. Harris, who had a “crush” on Peterson, did not know about the musicians’ relationship until the verbal disagreement, Pete testified.

Peterson later called both women “bitches and hos” as tensions erupted, Pete testified. The two also verbally sparred over their musical careers.

Pete told the courtroom she had asked to be let out of the car near the Hollywood Hills home she was staying in, but as she walked away, Pete said, she heard Peterson yell “dance, bitch”, and when she turned her head to face him he was hanging partly out of the car with a gun pointed at her. Then he began firing.

Shortly after they drove away from the scene, police stopped the vehicle that Pete, Harris, Peterson and his security guard were in.

Pete said that Peterson had begged her and Harris not to tell the police that she had been shot by him because he had prior legal issues and did not want to get into more trouble. Pete added that Peterson had offered the two former friends $1m to keep quiet.

“Why are you not worried about how I am? You just shot me!” Pete recalled thinking when Peterson asked for her silence.

Peterson was ultimately arrested for having a concealed weapon and after months of speculation, Pete went on Instagram Live to say Peterson had shot her.

The aftermath of the shooting has played out largely online and has struck a chord in the hip-hop community, spotlighting how the treatment and abuse of Black women are largely ignored in society. During Tuesday’s testimony, Pete described the rap game as a “boy’s club” and said she knew she would be hated because she was “telling on one y’all’s friend”.

During cross-examination, Mgdesyan focused much of his questioning on where Pete and Peterson were physically located before the shooting. He also challenged Pete’s interviews and statements she has made to police, on social media and in a televised sit-down with Gayle King that aired on CBS in April.

The exchanges between Mgdesyan and Pete were tense, with Mgdesyan digging into the minutiae of the hours before the shooting, including how much Pete had to drink at Jenner’s home, why she insisted on leaving with Peterson and which direction Pete was walking in before Peterson allegedly shot her.

Mgdesyan also homed in on an interview that Pete had with the then Los Angeles police detective Ryan Stogner days after the incident, wherein she told police that she initially did not know she had been shot.

Pete responded that she was not comfortable with talking to police due to concerns about police violence against Black people, but she changed her mind when she saw Peterson and his management trying to “get ahead” of the story by planting fake news items in blogs.

“I didn’t want it to be a big mess like it is now,” Pete testified of her hesitance to tell the truth early on.

Home

The current result of my domestic Bees brainrot, Just a little ficlet that I had to get out of my system.

"Why can't I stay asleep? I'm exhausted." Throwing the covers aside and getting up I stretched and decided to go to the kitchen for some chamomile tea. My ears twitched at hearing some faint singing coming from the baby's room. Curious I padded over to it and leaned around the doorway to see Yang, with our daughter Rose in her arms and I could now make out the lyrics.

"I don't know the answers

Tomorrow's still unknown

But I can make this promise

You won't be alone."

I could feel my eyes burning from tears as I watched the two loves of my life comforting each other. I noticed Rose's lilac eyes that she had inherited from her momma finally close and Yang gently placed her in her crib.

"Hey." I whispered.

Yang turned in surprise. "Hey yourself. Why aren't you asleep?"

"Couldn't. I heard there was some adorbableness happening and had to check it out."

Yang smiled a gentle smile. "She was a little restless so I thought I'd sing a bit."

"I've never heard that one, where is it from?"

"I'm not sure, it's something Mom used to sing to Ruby and I even though Ruby was really too young to understand it."

"It's beautiful and so are you." and I kissed her gently on the cheek then I had to stifle a yawn so I wouldn't wake the baby.

"Ok, come on, let's put you back to bed. Or do I have to sing you to sleep too?"

"That's not much of a threat. I thought it was lovely."

With surprising speed Yang scooped me up into her arms and carried me back down the hallway to our bedroom.

"There's a quiet place

In my embrace

A Haven of safety where

I'll dry your tears

Shelter here

In my care."

Yang gently laid me down and covered me with a plush comforter before snuggling next to me.

"You're such a good momma, Yang."

"I'm trying. I want Rose to have more than just faint memories. I want her to know how much she is loved and wanted."

"She'll know." and I kissed my beautiful, kind, gentle sunny dragon before we both drifted off to a blissful slumber.

Kind Words

For those of you who don’t know, when covid first made an appearance, I was one of those first waves that caught it. As a result, I couldn’t write for a while, and when I did, it was painful to get anything out. I’m a most prolific author and it was a relief after two YEARS that the fog-brain I was suffering from, from covid, lifted, and I could start writing again. I’ve released several books…

Homeschooling in India: Concept, Curriculum & More

The coronavirus outbreak ushered in what may be the world's fastest-growing trend in homeschooling. Many parents have decided to continue guiding their children for education themselves, even after schools have reopened post-pandemic and vaccines have become widely available.

Homeschooling allows parents and guardians to direct their children's overall development outside of the confines of formal education. Parents decide what and how their children are taught, and they are not required to follow any school board's curriculum. In India, parents have the option of not enrolling their children in school or withdrawing their children from school if the school's approach does not fulfil their child's needs.

The homeschooling concept in India

The notion was developed in India for children with special needs who require additional parental assistance. Many parents experimented with the idea as concerns about a rigorous schooling system arose. Other factors include concerns about bullying, child abuse, ineffective teaching methods, and children's desire to pursue careers other than academics.

Homeschooling has been supported by edtech companies that carry the curricula of various educational boards like ICSE, IGCE, Cambridge, etc. While most parents use homeschooling online platforms to assist their children understand a variety of concepts, they avoid restricting their children to the curricula.

The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act of 2009 mandates that all children complete eight years of formal education, although it does not mention any other options.

Proof of competence is required for homeschooled students to be eligible for higher education in India. This can be accomplished by taking the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) exams, which provide Open Basic Education to children aged 14 and up. Children can take A, B, and C level exams, similar to Classes 3, 5, and 7, or Secondary Education Course and Senior Secondary Course exams, which are equivalent to Classes 10 and 12. They can also take the Cambridge Assessment International Examination's International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) (CAIE). Children are eligible for college entrance after passing any of these tests.

With the growing popularity of homeschooling in India, open education and learning have become more formalized to ensure that students receiving this type of education do not fall behind. Major academic institutions, both domestic and international, have joined this learning alternative. The two influential organizations linked with homeschooling in India are listed below.

The concept of open schooling

The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) is an open learning board in India that allows students to continue their education at home. This board enables parents to homeschool their children and complete significant exams such as class 10th and 12th exams. Students must register with the board, and the certification acquired through the board's tests is equivalent to that of any other board in the country. It provides education at many levels and places a strong emphasis on vocational learning and formal education.

The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is an internationally recognized qualification for homeschooled students. It is held in the 10th grade and has many phases to assess a child's learning from the beginning to the end. Candidates can sit for the exam as private candidates and acquire a globally recognized qualification.

The admission process of learning from home

The decision to learn from home is the first step because there are further stages to take after you've decided on an educational path. The procedure for applying to learn from home in India is detailed here.

Approach a school that permits pupils to apply as a private candidate. The school should be affiliated with one of the open learning boards and be one of the open learning from home platforms and provide students the opportunity to continue their education in their choice of time.

After that, the main focus is on determining whether to teach yourself or hire a private teacher.

The child can comfortably pursue their schooling while also focusing on developing their talents in other disciplines.

Benefits of Homeschooling in India

Homeschooling or learning from home provides the room and scope to develop and foster a child's potential when the traditional education sector becomes increasingly rigid and inflexible. Some of the advantages of homeschooling that you should be aware of are listed below:

It allows parents to tailor their children's academic learning, allowing them to develop their talents.

The child has a better comprehension and stronger conceptual underpinnings due to paying more attention to details.

The kid's requirements can be considered, and milestones can be established to allow the youngster to develop at their own rate without being rushed.

It provides the flexibility and freedom to pursue one's passion and thrive at it.

Because it has become more regimented, it does not cause a child to fall behind and is comparable to any other form of education.

Parents who homeschool their children believe that as India begins to value uniqueness, homeschooling will become more popular. These homeschools are now centered in urban areas such as Pune, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Delhi, and Chennai. Make sure it's accredited by an agency recognised by the government or your state. Not all programs are accredited in every state, so check! Many schools list their accreditation status on the home page of their websites and in marketing materials. Having said that, 21K School is India’s leading online school that offers transparent quality education, regardless of the situation and location. It is a recognised and accredited K-12 School offering Indian, American and British Curriculum online for students aged 3 to 18 years in India and abroad. The online model allows learning from anywhere and hence also allows parents to evaluate their child’s progress from anywhere and at any time. Visit today to enrol.
