Opening lines to MEMOIRS OF A GNOSTIC DWARF by David Madsen: “This morning His Holiness summoned me to read to him from St Augustine, while the physician applied unguents and salves to his suppurating arse; one in particular, which was apparently concocted from virgin’s piss (where did they find a virgin in Rome?) and a rare herb from the private hortus siccus of Bonet de Lattes, the pope’s Jewish physician-in-chief, stank abominably. Still, it was no worse than the nauseating stench of the festering pustules abs weeping ulcers adorning His Holiness’s cilicious posterior. (Everyone refers to these repulsive afflictions as ‘fistula,’ but I am not constrained by the self-interest of tact.) With his alb pulled up over his hips, and his underdrawers down around his ankles, the most powerful man in the world lay sprawled on his bed like a catamite waiting to be well and truly buggered.”

A blank page in TO THE LIGHTHOUSE with a simple doodle of an airplane flying over a cloud. Trailing from the plane is a banner with a heart and the words “REM & BSR”
A page from TO THE LIGHTHOUSE by Virginia Woolf, with the following passage underlined in ink: “Had there been an axe handy, or a poker, any weapon that would have gashed a hole in his father’s breast and killed him, there and then, James would have seized it.” In the margins next to that passage, someone has added the note “father —> tyrant”
A photo of RFK Jr leering in front of a reporter's microphone while an out-of-focus Trump dozes in the background. A speech bubble has been added to the photo to suggest that Brainworm Bob is saying the quoted post.

Stonewall Jackson (Ascribed to a Virginian) One man we claim of wrought renown Which not the North shall care to slur; A Modern lived who sleeps in death, Calm as the marble Ancients are: 'Tis he whose life, though a vapor's wreath, Was charged with the lightning's burning breath— Stonewall, stormer of the war. But who shall hymn the Roman heart? A stoic, he, but even more: The iron will and lion thew Were strong to inflict as to endure: Who like him could stand, or pursue? His fate the fatalist followed through; In all his great soul found to do Stonewall followed his star. He followed his star on the Romney march Through the sleet to the wintry war; And he followed it on when he bowed the grain— The Wind of the Shenandoah; At Gaines's Mill in the giants' strain— On the fierce forced stride to Manassas-plain, Where his sword with thunder was clothed again, Stonewall followed his star.
Stonewall Jackson Mortally wounded at Chancellorsville (May, 1863) The Man who fiercest charged in fight, Whose sword and prayer were long— Stonewall! Even him who stoutly stood for Wrong, How can we praise? Yet coming days Shall not forget him with this song. Dead is the Man whose Cause is dead, Vainly he died and set his seal— Stonewall! Earnest in error, as we feel; True to the thing he deemed was due, True as John Brown or steel. Relentlessly he routed us; But we relent, for he is low— Stonewall! Justly his fame we outlaw; so We drop a tear on the bold Virginian's bier, Because no wreath we owe.
