Do pop down to an antique market in the south west of the United Kingdom right now if you are looking for a faceless life size child doll to take back home, destroy your regular sleep patterns and transform your house into a place of constant demonic terror.

A scary faceless doll I found at a market in Devon (but didn't buy, as I value my sleep).

What Kind of Times Are These
BY ADRIENNE RICH
There's a place between two stands of trees where the grass grows uphill
and the old revolutionary road breaks off into shadows
near a meeting-house abandoned by the persecuted who disappeared into those shadows.

I've walked there picking mushrooms at the edge of dread, but don't be fooled
this isn't a Russian poem, this is not somewhere else but here,
our country moving closer to its own truth and dread,
its own ways of making people disappear.

I won't tell you where the place is, the dark mesh of the woods
meeting the unmarked strip of light— ghost-ridden crossroads, leafmold paradise:
I know already who wants to buy it, sell it, make it disappear.

And I won't tell you where it is, so why do I tell you anything? Because you still listen, because in times like these
to have you listen at all, it's necessary to talk about trees.

- **Base Artwork**: The meme is based on a classical painting, likely from the Renaissance or Baroque period, featuring a group of figures in a dramatic, dimly lit scene. The central figure appears to be a man dressed in period attire, including a wide-brimmed hat and a long, earthy-toned coat, suggesting a historical European setting. The painting style includes rich, dark colors with strong contrasts, typical of old master works, and the composition focuses on a tense interaction.

- **Central Figure**: The main character is a man seated at a table, leaning forward with an intense expression. His right hand is extended, pointing accusingly or emphatically toward another figure's hand, which is palm-up on the table. His facial features are sharply defined, with a furrowed brow and a stern gaze, adding to the dramatic tone.

- **Supporting Figures**: Surrounding the central figure are other individuals, partially visible, with hands reaching into the scene. One hand holds a knife, while others gesture or rest on the table, contributing to a sense of confrontation or negotiation. Their attire matches the historical style, with muted greens, browns, and grays.

- **Text Overlay**: Bold, white text with a black outline is superimposed across the image, making it stand out against the darker background. The text reads: "When you and the Bois have been labeled domestic terrorists, but the CIA still hasn't sent you your pallet of cash, crates of AKs, and fleet of Toyota Hiluxes." The font is casual and modern, contrasting

For Nothing Is Fixed, by James Baldwin

For nothing is fixed,
forever, forever, forever.
it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting,
the light is always changing. the sea
does not cease
to grind down rock.

Generations do
not cease
to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are
witnesses they have

The sea rises,
the light
fails,
lovers cling to each other,
and children cling to us.

The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and
the light goes out.

The image depicts a futuristic scene with a person wearing a dark beanie and jacket, being scanned by advanced technology. A digital overlay with a wireframe grid and red accents highlights the person's face, suggesting a facial recognition or identification process. The background is dimly lit with blurred elements, possibly indicating a high-tech facility. Text overlays include "KYLE REX" and "IDENTGGPXJ," likely representing an identified name and code. Above the image, the caption reads: "Me getting scanned in 2030 at an Amazon detention facility by Blackrock drones for posting a 'Release the Files' meme back in 2025,"

The image is a 3x3 grid meme featuring a black cat in various autumn-themed settings. Each cell contains a photo of the cat surrounded by fall elements like orange leaves, pumpkins, and warm outdoor scenes, with bold text overlaid. The text reads: “I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE FALL OF THE BOURGEOISIE,” arranged across the grid with “I” in the top left, “CAN’T” in the top center, “WAIT” in the top right, “FOR” in the middle left, “THE” in the middle center, “FALL” in the middle right, “OF” in the bottom left, “THE” in the bottom center, and “BOURGEOISIE” in the bottom right. The cat’s expressions and poses vary, adding a humorous tone to the political statement, with scenes including the cat among leaves, near pumpkins, and in a forest setting.

Salvador Dali’s hands. NYC. 1948

The image is a black-and-white photograph depicting an artist at work. The artist’s hand is prominently shown, holding a paintbrush and applying paint to a canvas. The canvas features a detailed depiction of a bird’s head, likely a swan, with a dark beak and textured feathers. The artist’s other hand holds a palette with various paint smudges, and a gloved hand in the background appears to be assisting or holding another brush. The scene is captured from an overhead angle, giving a clear view of the painting process, with the artist’s sleeve and part of their attire visible. The overall composition highlights the focus and intricacy of the artwork being created.
