tar paper was cut where each post exits from the lower box and then slipped down over the posts before the upper cross bars were nailed into position.

seden amenusis--nursery rhymes

a new book from landbay publishing , "stay awake, nursery rhymes for the woke child". written by seden amenusis. the book has twelve rhymes for children all of them with the authors usual weird sense of propriety. one selection will make clear what that means.

witch town witch town, knock it down knock it down
witch town witch town, burn it all to the ground
kill a witch kill a witch kill them all today.

the rhyme is repeated several more times with only a change of the word witch into other racial and sexual terms.

he goes on in the same tone for another eleven short rhymes targeted at children of nursery age. the subject matter in the above rhyme is mild compared to some of the others. all of them describe some group or person he seems to have a grudge against and encourage bullying action be taken to keep them in order.

seden amenusis, "stay awake, nursery rhymes for the woke child". available from landbay books from their online store.

william beckford--pizza gate

"how," cried vatek, "can i descend to thee? — come, take me, and instantly open the portal." — "not so fast," replied the indian, "impatient caliph! — know that i am parched with thirst, and cannot open this door, till my thirst be thoroughly appeased; i require the blood of fifty children. take them from among the most beautiful sons of thy vizirs and great men; or, neither can my thirst nor thy curiosity be satisfied. return to samarah; come back hither; throw it thyself into this chasm, and then shalt thou see!"
william beckford, vathek. edited by kenneth w. graham.

uwe poerksen--plastic words

plastic words by uwe poerksen.
plastic words, 83% of mainstream news articles contain plastic words
on the internet i've seen images of sea turtles with their neck stuck in plastic words cutting into their throats, their stomachs filled with indigestible fragments of plastic words.
on the internet i've read of beaches littered with the parched bodies of birds that ate threads of plastic words and died of hunger and thirst.
plastic words, little bits of them get into the water we drink and the food we eat. they poison our minds making plastic thoughts people thoughtlessly spew as more plastic words.
plastic words, they break down into plastic vowels and consonants which sabotage the biology of the body, they are changing people's minds, they are changing people's sexes. plastic words.
