Graduated in Zoology & wanted to work in endangered species conservation. Landed a fantastic job with a cheetah programme in Mozambique but it's not quite what I thought it would be as I have to wank off 2-3 cheetahs a day & safely store the spunk in separate labelled containers.

Beautiful 1860s Victorian butterfly, which was used to store small packets of sewing needles on the underside of the wings. This was a collaboration between a London-based drapers company and a sewing needle manufacturer. On exhibit at Tatter Blue, a Brooklyn textile museum. IG tatterbluelibrary

Small brass butterfly. The underside of the butterfly, which has little pockets to store sewing needle packets. The underside of the wings are decorated with two plates. One carries an inscription of the drapers company: The butterfly can be folded up, like how a butterfly flaps its wings. A close-up of the butterfly's wings.

#19: Forward Roll

A screengrab from a Guardian column by Adrian Chiles. The headline reads 'Yes, I have just done a naked forward roll. But there was a good reason.' The basement floor is cold against my scrotum as I land, my back pitted with dust and grit. I feel something in my hair and when my hand goes to brush it away, the dessicated corpse of a mouse falls out. I realise that perhaps I should have swept before beginning the ritual, but it is too late now; Marchosias, mighty Marquis of Hell stands on the brink of entering our realm and only my naked supplication can conjure him. I pull myself up into a crouch once more, careful not to dislodge the candles which ring the rough pentagram which I have chalked onto the floor. The grimoire I purchased from the old man describes the Ritual of Summoning in lengthy but frustratingly opaque terms, outlining a series of physical manipulations which I have only been able to interpret as a kind of roly-poly movement, to be repeated fifty or so times in quick succession. At first the action - especially when combined with my nudity - felt ridiculous, a demeaning parody of a humble entreaty. But in its repetition, alone here in the cold, surrounded by the cobwebbed shadows, and the unopened boxes from my last house move, I have found a kind of focused tranquility, a trance-like state which feels like real magic. As I go to make my fiftieth roll, there come sounds from upstairs - a knocking at the door, a rattling of my letterbox. I hear the concerned shout of Janice, my neighbour, and I ignore it. The ritual must be completed. My scrotum lands once again on the cold concrete. The air in the room shifts, cracks and breaks open. In wonder, I turn my face towards the dark space above me and on my cheeks I feel - at last! - the hot, fetid breath of my Master.
