NEW Stress Release Project- we need your help

We are here trying to supply tools to help reduce the stress particularly of long term confinement in solitary or covid lockdown. Our legal project started out with a similar goal and does help some people maintain balance in prison’s extreme inhumane environment. But these tools are simpler and the benefits are quick- for example, the puzzles, coloring books etc, offer the mind a vacation while the writers project can help ground frustrations while providing tools for more effective self expression.

Stuff offered: fill in blanks and send to FFUP:1)meditation and yoga, other exercises- many of you have already got one installment. Let us know if you want more of either-they are very important tools. Send first installment_____________ more exercises______________-meditation methods______________________other kinds of exercises_____________________________

2)Coloring books mazes, puzzles- these are all the rage out here and there are some gorgeous ones/ We ordered crayons for some seg prisoners and crayons and pastels for some having trouble in general. Some have not got in and we are hearing that gifted CRAYONS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN Seg? want to receive coloring book or puzzle book? ________( yes, no)Can you have crayons_____( yes, no)/ colored pencils_______(yes , no)/colored markers ________________( yes no)other kinds of puzzles( sudoku, search a word etc) ________________________

3)Books: For years we have been trying to get past the requirement that all books must come with a paper receipt- Finally – packing slips are okayed. We are starting with DOVER books, a company that publishes out of copyright books for cheap (The classics) - an excellent company which also has the best coloring books , mazes etc. Because Dover thrift books are very inexpensive ,we can send you 4 or 5 for 20 dollars- These are also books that have survived the test of time. They do not send catalogs in prisons anymore because of too many refusals ( staples etc). I like _______________________________________________________________________________(fiction, non fiction ,history- science , mystery , sports, how to books ,etc ), send a bunch OR

Send a print out of offerings on these categories___________________________________________________

4) CRAFTS: FFUP has been asking certain prisoners to pick out craft items- usually around 20 dollars worth to start projects that allow them to express themselves and ground their frustrations. This will be as we can afford it and fundraising allows- hope to expand this. Again big question is what is allowed in and how can we expand that. IF you can get craft items, pick items from one of the allowed vendors up to 20 dollars. If you are not allowed but would like to start and craft project- let us know, we will work with DAI on get an exception to the rules. ____________________________________________________________________________________________

5)News of the week: We are told that no tvs or radios are allowed in solitary- (is this all solitaries?)and that news is of premium importance to many solitary prisoners- If you have no tv or radio, please let us know if something like the 4 pages of weekly news update here would help and if you would like more of this. Also put in a bid of exactly what news you are interested in.___________________________________________________________________

6) WRITER PROJECT-

“SO YOU CAN WRITE” is a startup company that helps prisoner writers edit their books also lists books already written and published. FFUP is working owner Kendell Watkins to put out a book of essays, short stories, poetry, art and whathaveyou by Wisconsin prisoners who are in solitary or who have spent long periods in solitary. The impetus for this project is two-fold-

1) Get more prisoners works published and sold. This book of short selections may be a good way to help this publishing company get known and supported, which publishes prisoners works exclusively. And will give prisoners a viable path to not only publishing, but getting read.

2) We are starting with prisoners in solitary or who have had long stints in solitary as the owner of the company, Kendell Watkins, will work with solitary prisoners who have no publishing experience and help them focus enough to communicate to a public.

Writing is one of the great “grounders”- a way to vent angers and fears and frustrations in a healthy way. Expressing yourself with writing long letter, journaling, painting, crying, dancing, exercise in a mindful way etc etc- all those are health expressive tools- you give your body a way to “speak”. This is healing But writing can also communicate in ways that mere speaking cannot do – and that is the skill Kendell can teach- guide-to put your emotions into a poem, short story essay-can heal in a different way and has with it the idea that you want to be heard and understood .It is quite an exercise worth doing. Proposal: We want to end up with a book of selections written by Wisconsin prisoners in solitary now or who know solitary. Once it is published we will do all in our power to get it well advertised and in the public eye- I am hoping that this publishing company can help get the other books FFUP has languishing on its website known and read- and that more and more prisoners will find a viable outlet with “SO YOU CAN WRITE”. How to join us: write a two to four handwritten, two page typed and send it to Kendell. Watkins. Owner of “so you can write” publishing company. It can be on any subject but think about it and try to gather your thoughts. Kendell will guide you - suggest where to elaborate, where to cut- ways to develop so we end up with a work that is complete in itself , something you will want others to read and they will want to read. Be honest, there is no failure here Below is the address of the ‘So you can write” project. The guy seems genuine and enthusiastic. He was a prisoner and realized how important writing was to him in there and so is extending the hand. He also lists books that are published and edits books for those who have something written they wish to publish. He has a fee for the editing but will work with FFUP on helping indigent prisoners.

Contact information: Kendell Watkins “ So you can write” PO Box 80736,Milwaukee, WI 53703- send 2 pages if your handwriting is small. If you write large, allow yourself a few more pages.

7) Individual book publishing: Also “SO YOU CAN WRITE” also publishes books by individuals- he will help edit OR simply list your book. We are working out a plan to cooperate on charges for that etc- do not let the money stop you- his address again:

8) Restrictions in property- here is one area we may be able to make some progress- it is incredible to think that those in solitary are allowed no meaningful tools to withstand the trauma that solitary causes and then are punished for the self harm that ensues.

FFUP needs to find out exactly what is allowed in what seg and also if the restrictions make sense- what are they aiming at and what restrictions and liberties should take their place. CCI at one time had a policy that your go t property and kept it as long as you did not abuse it- is that still going on anywhere?’I would like to do an open records request on exactly what property is allowed where- after we gather these questionaires- what would I ask to get real answers?

8. Your suggestions needed on any of this:_____________________________________________________________________________________

9) MOST IMPORTANT: now about you

1)Name, number age prison__________________________________________________________________________________

2) Are you in solitary? Lockdown? Anything particular you would like us to know about your situation? Roommates/ other stressors? Mental health status? diagnoses? use extra space if needed

HOW TO TELL A STORY

By Mark TwainI do not claim that I can tell a story as it ought to be told. I only claim to know how a story ought to be told, for I

have been almost daily in the company of the most expert story-tellers for many years.There are several kinds of stories, but only one difficult kind—the humorous. I will talk mainly about that one. The

humorous story is American, the comic story is English, the witty story is French. The humorous story depends for its effect upon the manner of the telling; the comic story and the witty story upon the matter.

The humorous story may be spun out to great length, and may wander around as much as it pleases, and arrive nowhere in particular; but the comic and witty stories must be brief and end with a point. The humorous story bubbles gently along, the others burst.

The humorous story is strictly a work of art—high and delicate art—and only an artist can tell it; but no art is necessary in telling the comic and the witty story; anybody can do it. The art of telling a humorous story—understand, I mean by word of mouth, not print—was created in America, and has remained at home.

The humorous story is told gravely; the teller does his best to conceal the fact that he even dimly suspects that there is anything funny about it; but the teller of the comic story tells you beforehand that it is one of the funniest things he has ever heard, then tells it with eager delight, and is the first person to laugh when he gets through. And sometimes, if he has had good success, he is so glad and happy that he will repeat the “nub” of it and glance around from face to face, collecting applause, and then repeat it again. It is a pathetic thing to see.

Very often, of course, the rambling and disjointed humorous story finishes with a nub, point, snapper, or whatever you like to call it. Then the listener must be alert, for in many cases the teller will divert attention from that nub by dropping it in a carefully casual and indifferent way, with the pretence that he does not know it is a nub.

Artemus Ward used that trick a good deal; then when the belated audience presently caught the joke he would look up with innocent surprise, as if wondering what they had found to laugh at. Dan Setchell used it before him, Nye and Riley and others use it to-day.

But the teller of the comic story does not slur the nub; he shouts it at you—every time. And when he prints it, in England, France, Germany, and Italy, he italicizes it, puts some whooping exclamation-points after it, and sometimes explains it in a parenthesis. All of which is very depressing, and makes one want to renounce joking and lead a better life.

Let me set down an instance of the comic method, using an anecdote which has been popular all over the world for twelve or fifteen hundred years. The teller tells it in this way:

THE WOUNDED SOLDIER.

In the course of a certain battle a soldier whose leg had been shot off appealed to another soldier who was hurrying by to carry him to the rear, informing him at the same time of the loss which he had sustained; whereupon the generous son of Mars, shouldering the unfortunate, proceeded to carry out his desire. The bullets and cannon-balls were flying in all directions, and presently one of the latter took the wounded man’s head off—without, however, his deliverer being aware of it. In no-long time he was hailed by an officer, who said:

“Where are you going with that carcass?”“To the rear, sir—he’s lost his leg!”“His leg, forsooth?” responded the astonished officer; “you mean his head, you booby.”Whereupon the soldier dispossessed himself of his burden, and stood looking down upon it in great perplexity. At

length he said:“It is true, sir, just as you have said.” Then after a pause he added, “But he TOLD me IT WAS HIS LEG—”Here the narrator bursts into explosion after explosion of thunderous horse-laughter, repeating that nub from time

to time through his gaspings and shriekings and suffocatings.It takes only a minute and a half to tell that in its comic-story form; and isn’t worth the telling, after all. Put into the

humorous-story form it takes ten minutes, and is about the funniest thing I have ever listened to—as James Whitcomb Riley tells it.

He tells it in the character of a dull-witted old farmer who has just heard it for the first time, thinks it is unspeakably funny, and is trying to repeat it to a neighbor. But he can’t remember it; so he gets all mixed up and wanders helplessly round and round, putting in tedious details that don’t belong in the tale and only retard it; taking them out conscientiously and putting in others that are just as useless; making minor mistakes now and then and stopping to correct them and explain how he came to make them; remembering things which he forgot to put in in their proper place and going back to put them in there; stopping his narrative a good while in order to try to recall the name of the soldier that was hurt, and finally remembering that the soldier’s name was not mentioned, and remarking placidly that the name is of no real importance, anyway—better, of course, if one knew it, but not essential, after all—and so on, and so on, and so on.

The teller is innocent and happy and pleased with himself, and has to stop every little while to hold himself in and keep from laughing outright; and does hold in, but his body quakes in a jelly-like way with interior chuckles; and at the end of the ten minutes the audience have laughed until they are exhausted, and the tears are running down their faces.

The simplicity and innocence and sincerity and unconsciousness of the old farmer are perfectly simulated, and the result is a performance which is thoroughly charming and delicious. This is art and fine and beautiful, and only a master can compass it; but a machine could tell the other story.

To string incongruities and absurdities together in a wandering and sometimes purposeless way, and seem innocently unaware that they are absurdities, is the basis of the American art, if my position is correct. Another feature is the slurring of the point. A third is the dropping of a studied remark apparently without knowing it, as if one were thinking aloud. The fourth and last is the pause.

Artemus Ward dealt in numbers three and four a good deal. He would begin to tell with great animation something which he seemed to think was wonderful; then lose confidence, and after an apparently absent-minded pause add an incongruous remark in a soliloquizing way; and that was the remark intended to explode the mine—and it did.

For instance, he would say eagerly, excitedly, “I once knew a man in New Zealand who hadn’t a tooth in his head”—here his animation would die out; a silent, reflective pause would follow, then he would say dreamily, and as if to himself, “and yet that man could beat a drum better than any man I ever saw.”

The pause is an exceedingly important feature in any kind of story, and a frequently recurring feature, too. It is a dainty thing, and delicate, and also uncertain and treacherous; for it must be exactly the right length—no more and no less—or it fails of its purpose and makes trouble. If the pause is too short the impressive point is passed, and [and if too long] the audience have had time to divine that a surprise is intended—and then you can’t surprise them, of course.

On the platform I used to tell a negro ghost story that had a pause in front of the snapper on the end, and that pause was the most important thing in the whole story. If I got it the right length precisely, I could spring the finishing ejaculation with effect enough to make some impressible girl deliver a startled little yelp and jump out of her seat—and that was what I was after. This story was called “The Golden Arm,” and was told in this fashion. You can practise with it yourself—and mind you look out for the pause and get it right.

THE GOLDEN ARM.

Once ’pon a time dey wuz a monsus mean man, en he live ’way out in de prairie all ’lone by hisself, ’cep’n he had a wife. En bimeby she died, en he tuck en toted her way out dah in de prairie en buried her. Well, she had a golden arm—all solid gold, fum de shoulder down. He wuz pow’ful mean—pow’ful; en dat night he couldn’t sleep, Gaze he want dat golden arm so bad.

When it come midnight he couldn’t stan’ it no mo’; so he git up, he did, en tuck his lantern en shoved out thoo de storm en dug her up en got de golden arm; en he bent his head down ’gin de win’, en plowed en plowed en plowed thoo de snow. Den all on a sudden he stop (make a considerable pause here, and look startled, and take a listening attitude) en say: “My LAN’, what’s dat!”

En he listen—en listen—en de win’ say (set your teeth together and imitate the wailing and wheezing singsong of the wind), “Bzzz-z-zzz”—en den, way back yonder whah de grave is, he hear a voice! he hear a voice all mix’ up in de win’ can’t hardly tell ’em ’part—“Bzzz-zzz—W-h-o—g-o-t—m-y—g-o-l-d-e-n arm?—zzz—zzz—W-h-o g-o-t m-y g-o-l-d-e-n arm!” (You must begin to shiver violently now.)

En he begin to shiver en shake, en say, “Oh, my! OH, my lan’!” en de win’ blow de lantern out, en de snow en sleet blow in his face en mos’ choke him, en he start a-plowin’ knee-deep towards home mos’ dead, he so sk’yerd—en

pooty soon he hear de voice agin, en (pause) it ’us comin’ after him! “Bzzz—zzz—zzz—W-h-o—g-o-t m-y—g-o-l-d-e-n—arm?”

When he git to de pasture he hear it agin closter now, en a-comin’!—a-comin’ back dah in de dark en de storm—(repeat the wind and the voice). When he git to de house he rush up-stairs en jump in de bed en kiver up, head and years, en lay dah shiverin’ en shakin’—en den way out dah he hear it agin!—en a-comin’! En bimeby he hear (pause—awed, listening attitude)—pat—pat—pat—hit’s acomin’ up-stairs! Den he hear de latch, en he know it’s in de room!

Den pooty soon he know it’s a-stannin’ by de bed! (Pause.) Den—he know it’s a-bendin’ down over him—en he cain’t skasely git his breath! Den—den—he seem to feel someth’ n c-o-l-d, right down ’most agin his head! (Pause.)

Den de voice say, right at his year—“W-h-o g-o-t—m-y—g-o-l-d-e-n arm?” (You must wail it out very plaintively and accusingly; then you stare steadily and impressively into the face of the farthest-gone auditor—a girl, preferably—and let that awe-inspiring pause begin to build itself in the deep hush. When it has reached exactly the right length, jump suddenly at that girl and yell, “You’ve got it!”)

If you’ve got the pause right, she’ll fetch a dear little yelp and spring right out of her shoes. But you must get the pause right; and you will find it the most troublesome and aggravating and uncertain thing you ever undertook.

10 things you need to know todayThe Week (newsletter@theweek.com)

1. Dozens still missing in Oregon as improved weather provides some aid to firefighters

Dozens of fires are still raging across the three West Coast states, burning millions of acres, as crews search for survivors in Oregon, where "mass fatality" incidents are feared. At least 26 people have been killed in California, Oregon, and Washington in the blazes, which Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) has called a "once-in-a-generation event," since early August. Dozens of people are still missing. Firefighters did make some progress in containing the fires Saturday, aided by calmer winds and cooler, moister conditions, although smoke and ash continue to darken the sky, creating some of the world's worst air-quality levels. President Trump on Monday will visit California, where he'll meet with federal and state officials to discuss the fires. [Reuters, The Wall Street Journal]

2. Trump bashes Biden at Nevada rally

President Trump traveled to Nevada for a campaign rally in Douglas County on Saturday as he sets his sights on winning over the state he narrowly lost in 2016. A recent New York Times/Siena College poll showed Trump trailing his Democratic challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden, in the Silver State, but the race is considered a close one, and Nevada remains one of Trump's best chances at flipping a Hillary Clinton-won state in 2020. At the rally, Trump warned he was ready to "be really vicious" during the campaign's stretch run, and he gave the audience a taste during his speech. Trump called Biden a "pathetic person" who "doesn't know he's alive." He also accused Nevada's Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak of trying to "rig the election" because the Trump campaign had to move the rally out of Reno because of COVID-19 restrictions. [Politico , Fox News ]

3. AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine trials resume in U.K.

AstraZeneca announced Saturday that it received confirmation from the United Kingdom's Medicines Health Regulatory Authority that it was safe to resume clinical trials for the company's coronavirus vaccine in the U.K. after they were paused over safety concerns earlier this week. The statuses of trials elsewhere remain unclear, CNBC reports. The vaccine candidate, which was developed in partnership between AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford, is considered one of the world's most promising, but phase three of its trials was temporarily halted after a woman in the U.K. reportedly displayed neurological symptoms consistent with a spinal inflammatory disorder called transverse myelitis after receiving the vaccine. AstraZeneca isn't authorized to provide further medical information so the company statement didn't explicitly say whether the woman's illness was found to be unrelated to the vaccine. [CNBC , AstraZeneca ]

4. 2 L.A. County deputies shot while sitting in patrol car

Two Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies — a 31-year-old female and a 24-year-old male — were shot Saturday night while sitting in their patrol vehicle in Compton, the department tweeted. Both deputies were left in critical condition with multiple gunshot wounds and underwent surgery at a hospital in Lynwood. "They are both still fighting for their lives," the department said in a tweet. Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva and Capt. Kent Wegener said during a briefing that the shooting took place at 7 p.m. local time. Wegener said the suspect approached the vehicle from behind, walked along the passenger side of the car, and shot multiple times, hitting both deputies. A video released by LASD appears to show the incident, which ended with the suspect running away. The search for the shooter, for whom investigators only have a "very generic description," is still ongoing. [CNN , KTLA ]

5. Russian voters test Putin's power in local elections

Russians cast their ballots in dozens of local elections Saturday, with nearly 160,000 candidates vying for seats in local parliaments and governors being elected in several regions. The voting has been overshadowed by the recent, non-fatal poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, whose team alleges the attempt was carried out on the orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Before he fell ill last month, Navalny had been encouraging Russians to vote against Putin's ruling party, United Russia, in the local elections in the hopes of loosening its grip across the country, and his camp believes the campaign could be why he was targeted. The local elections are reportedly seen as a dry run for next year's national parliamentary elections, although early results from the Far East show Kremlin-backed candidates winning easily. [Reuters , BBC ]

6. Bloomberg to spend at least $100 million to help Biden in Florida

Billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg plans to spend at least $100 million campaigning for the Democratic Presidential nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, in Florida, The Washington Post reports. Bloomberg's advisers refused to give a specific amount of money, but said the plan was "nine figures." Most of the money will go to television and digital ads in English and Spanish. Kevin Stacey, a Bloomberg adviser, said the investment in Florida should free the Biden campaign and other Democratic groups to allocate their resources to other swing states, especially Pennsylvania. Bloomberg also reportedly wants to encourage early voting in Florida, so that a potential Biden victory in the state could be called soon after polls close on Nov. 3. [The Washington Post]

7. Thousands of women march in antigovernment protests in Belarus

Antigovernment protests continued this weekend in Belarus, as demonstrators call for President Alexander Lukashenko to resign. About 10,000 women marched through Minsk, the capital, on Saturday, with riot police violently detaining dozens of the marchers, many of whom carried portraits of Maria

Kolesnikova, a leader of the opposition Coordination Council who was jailed this week after police unsuccessfully tried to force her from the country. Lukashenko, who has ruled for 26 years, has refused to meet with the Coordination Council, which seeks a new presidential election following accusations that the last one was fraudulent. Tens of thousands of people reportedly took to the streets in Minsk again on Sunday, and police have said around 250 protesters have been arrested. [Time , Deutsche Welle ]

8. Former U.K. prime ministers publish joint letter criticizing government's plan to breach Brexit deal

John Major, a former Conservative U.K. prime minister, and his former adversary and eventual successor, Labour's Tony Blair, joined forces Sunday, publishing a letter in the Sunday Times criticizing the "shocking" announcement from the British government last week that it plans to pass legislation that would break international law by breaching parts of the Withdrawal Treaty it signed in January when the country formally left the European Union. Meanwhile, the U.K.'s Justice Secretary Robert Buckland, also a member of the Conservative Party, warned he could resign if the law is "broken in a way I find unacceptable." Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the controversial legislation is necessary to clarify the Northern Ireland protocol element of the Brexit deal and protect free trade between the four nations of the U.K. [Reuters , The Guardian ]

9. Osaka captures 2nd U.S. Open title

Naomi Osaka came back to defeat Victoria Azarenka 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 on Saturday in the women's U.S. Open final, which was played in front of a mostly-empty Arthur Ashe stadium in Queens, New York. The win marks Osaka's second U.S. Open crown, and it was the third Grand Slam overall for the 22-year-old star. For the first time since 1994, the woman who lost the first set of the U.S. Open final won the next two sets to claim the victory. Before the match, Osaka stepped onto the court wearing a mask with Tamir Rice's name on it — throughout the tournament she wore several different masks bearing the names of Black victims of violence. Both Osaka and her coach said her off-court activism has helped her energy and mindset during matches, The Associated Press reports. [The Associated Press]

10. NFL gets ready for first slate of Sunday games

The first full slate of NFL games kicks off Sunday, as the league begins play amid the coronavirus pandemic. The season officially began Thursday night when the Kansas City Chiefs launched their Super Bowl title defense with a 34-20 win over the Houston Texans, but the rest of the league will get going Sunday. Week 1 features quite a few rivalry games, including a matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears. Reigning MVP Lamar Jackson will be back under center for the Baltimore Ravens, who are hosting the Cleveland Browns. The main draw of the day, though, will take place at 4:25 p.m. E.T. on Fox when the New Orleans Saints take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who will be led by quarterback Tom Brady as he dons a new uniform after two decades with the New England Patriots. [ESPN]

Two from9 16 20-2. Sally strengthens into hurricane as it nears Gulf Coast

Hurricane Sally, upgraded from a tropical storm on Monday, strengthened as it barreled through the Gulf of Mexico toward the central Gulf Coast. Sally's top sustained winds reached 100 miles per hour on Monday before weakening to 90 mph overnight. The slow-moving storm is expected to make landfall late Tuesday in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, or the tip of the Florida Panhandle. Forecasters warned the storm could drop up to 24 inches of rain over parts of the region over the next few days, with a potentially life-threatening storm surge of up to 11 feet in some areas. Sally is approaching as Louisiana is still recovering from Hurricane Laura at the peak of the 2020 hurricane season. There are now five active tropical cyclones in the Atlantic region for only the second time on record. [The Wall Street Journal, CNN]

1. Trump blames West Coast fires on forest mismanagement

President Trump said during a visit to wildfire-ravaged California on Monday that he blamed West Coast blazes on failed forest management, dismissing the scientific consensus that climate change is making the region's fire seasons increasingly intense. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, pushed back. "We obviously feel very strongly that the hots are getting hotter, the dries are getting dryer," he said. "Climate change is real and that is exacerbating this." State Natural Resources Agency Secretary Wade Crowfoot told Trump that ignoring the science will make it impossible to "succeed together protecting Californians." Trump replied: "It will start getting cooler, just you watch." Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said Trump was a "climate arsonist" who has "no interest in meeting this moment." [The Associated Press, Axios]

Finally , a bit of meditation and Yoga

There are many ways to meditate but the most Widespread and Effective Meditation is simply to sit quietly and watch your breath. Sit in a chair or on the floor with back straight, hands relaxed. Breathe deeply, from your diaphragm- your stomach should expand when you inhale, deflate when you exhale. Watch your breath –in and out- let it flow naturally.Your mind will wander and that is okay- just bring it back. I use OM also, as a mantra ( long O) It is the word for the ALL. It does not matter how long you do this, what matters is that you do it. Gradually you learn you have developed a peaceful place inside yourself that is always there when you need it and you can do this technique any time anywhere- when you are doing a chore or walking. You will use it when you are upset or feeling anxious. You will know gradually that we are all connected and no one is alone, we are all loved and cherished
