It’s Fine Press Friday!

For the last Friday of 2024, we’re featuring John’s Apples, produced by Walter Hamady’s Perishable Press in Mount Horeb, WI, in 1995, in a limited edition of 125 copies. The book contains thirteen paintings by American artist John Wilde (1919-2006).and twelve poems by American poet and author Reeve Lindbergh (b. 1945). The book is made with a variety of papers including papers from Japan, Europe, and domestic paper handmade by Hamady’s elder daughter in Perry Township, Ohio. According to the colophon,the book was made “pretty much by Hand using passé technology.”

Walter Hamady (1940-2019) founded Perishable Press in 1964. The press was one of the first to produce work with a Vandercook proofing press, and is known for its innovative use of type and paper. In a profile of Hamady from 1991, Mary Lydon, his colleague at UW-Madison, suggests his books work to deliberately frustrate the “too adept reader.” This reader is frustrated and forced “to regress and, to recapture something of the pleasurable mystery (and frustration) of preliteracy” (155).

Appropriate then, that the text of the book is built on the poetry of Reeve Lindbergh, a children’s writer, and daughter of Charles Lindbergh. The playful verses sometimes sit opposite a relevant produce-related painting from Wilde. Other poems are printed on translucent paper through which you can make out Wilde’s vegetal shapes. The poems appear to be ekphrastic – composed directly from the paintings.  John Wilde (1919-2006) was a frequent collaborator with Hamady, and both taught for many years at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

This book comes to us from the collection of the late Dennis Bayuzick.

x prisoner!reader (except Román and Hanbal part)

༺☆༻

⤷  Maracena Ferreiro Maca would be a bit nervous from the start because she had something with Curly (Rizos) but that didn't work out and she had some troubles with her sexuality and stuff so it was kinda messy from the start. But if you wait patiently she will be yours forever.

When she loves, she loves deeply and is willing to do ANYTHING for those she love. She will protect you with her life and she may become overprotective because many people in prison wants to hurt her so she's afraid they will use you to hurt her.

She promised herself that if you die, she dies too. She only has you and her brother left so she does everything that's in her power to protect you.

She often dreams at night about you and her being free, living together, having more privacy, money,... When stuff in prison get tense, she will sleep in bed with you to protect you. I mean she would sleep with you everyday in the same bed if she could but prison beds are really small.

Castillo will protect you as well because Maca told him. He protects her because of a promise he gave to her father, but Maca told him that if anything goes wrong, he has to save you first.

She smiles at you a lot, she probably smile at you the most, sometimes at Curly and Sole, Román, Mercedes, but when she smiles at you it's different. It's a warm, loving, caring smile.

She'll stroke your cheeks when you day pay attention or kiss them because she loves how you after that kiss you turn to look at her and smile, she loves your smile a lot!

⤷  Estefanía Kabila Curly (Rizos) is also very protective, same level as Maca just different. Curly has short temper so if someone even looks at you weirdly she will break their jaw. You're trying to help her with her short temper because it's causing her to spend more time in solitary confinement.

She's always by your side, day and night. At night she crawls to your bed and hugs you tight, while are you falling asleep in her arms she'll gently stroke your back or hair.

She will braid your hair if you let her or she'll just massage your scalp or wash your hair for you, because this is kinda her love language? Also she just really loves your hair.

When you come to Curly, she'll grab your hand and spin you, she just spin you one time so she can take a look at you (not like you wear the same clothes every day).

A lot of pda and trust me she isn't embarrassed, not at all! She doesn't care who's looking, she doesn't care about ending in the confinement, she just loves you and she wants to show the world her love for you.

She'll get your name tattooed close to her heart. Then she'll probably convince you to get a matching set with her.

When you are mad at her and giving her a silent treatment, she will slowly come to you when you're laying on your bed, she'll stroke your arm with one finger and then trace it down, then she'll kiss your neck,...after that you cannot stay mad at her.

⤷  Saray Vargas de Jesús Saray will love you till her death. She'll sacrifice everything just to protect/save you and by that I mean a stranger, money, animal, her friends like Zulema, Curly, Sole,... even her family and also herself.

As much as she'll willing to sacrifice, she's willing to take so she will kill for you, beat every single person who did you wrong and god help those who try and flirt with you in front of her, they're dead.

Every morning she'll wake you up with a gentle slap on your butt or a kiss, doesn't matter if you share a cell. Oh she loves your butt, like really. She always has her hand on it, squeezing it or slapping it and when you wear pants that have the back pockets on the butt then she will put her hand in the pocket.

Sometimes she'll just cup your face into her hands, brushing off your hair, take a few extra seconds to admire your face and then kiss your whole face.

Saray is very affective and caring if you take the time and build a relationship with her and gain her trust so don't be surprised when she kisses you or touches you in any way, every day.

She LOVES when you braid her hair it's also why she keeps them that long so you can braid them which means touching her for a long time because it takes a lot of time to braid her hair.

She'll sing and dance around the cell with you and she loves it.

She'll also get your name tattooed on the wrist, chest, neck or anywhere else you tell her.

⤷  Zulema Zahir

Zulema is the queen so not many people are brave enough to flirt with you but some tried... they're dead now. She's very protective and doesn't let anyone disrespect you, if that happens; she'll kill them or make them be your slave.

Every time Zule is not around, Saray is watching you. Zulema told her to do so, just in case. I don't think you realize how much you mean to her... she would and will without wasting any time thinking; trade her freedom for your safety. Her freedom is everything to her but it's nothing compares to you...

She likes to sleep close to you at night, not just next to you, you two have to be close so she can hug you and stroke your hair but she has to be "free" enough to be able to stand up quickly in case that someone would want to attack you.

She wants to escape with you, you are like her engine, motivation to keep going and to keep thinking about new ways how to get out. Just so you can live your life how you deserve, outside and free.

She secretly dreams about having a house with you, somewhere far away, near the beach and the sea...

She'll let you cut her hair or braid her hair or wash her hair, she will let you do it, because she loves when you touch her hair, it's very calming for her.

She's the dominant one. No one can change my mind.

⤷ Fabio Martínez León

Fabio will watch 24/7. Like ALL THE TIME. He'll make sure that no other prisoner bothers you, that you get enough good and warm food, enough water, any medical treatments, enough blankets, soaps and anything else, you name it.

He wants to make your life in prison as comfortable as he can and as safe as he can. So he's doing all of this for your good.

Sometimes he will randomly put you in confinement, just so he can be alone with you for few minutes, because there are no cameras. It's also because it's a lot safer there yk...

He'll try and get you out of prison if it's possible, he'll hire the best lawyers around and try to find a way. Trust me when I tell you that he's spending thousands on you, but he loves you..

If he somehow manage to get you out of prison, you and him will move somewhere far far away. But I think he would want to live in a caravan or van, so you can travel and drive around the world freely, just the two of you.

It's also because you just drive around the world so you don't stay at one place for too long. it's better for your protection and safety.

Cuddles at night are need. He'll stroke your hair and kiss your forehead before you fall asleep, so you know you are safe and that he loves you.

⤷ Anabel Villaroch

Anabel is another very protective woman but she's also pretty possessive. If you decide to date her, you belong to her, you are hers and no one else can have you.

Like I said she's another very protective woman and now she maybe be a bit paranoid because of Zulema and Maca, so she's watching you 24/7, herself. She doesn't trust anyone else now, just you and her.

The two of you will also spend most of the time in the library because it's "safer" there for you.

If you need anything like money, make-up, phone, drugs, anything... she'll get it to you. She'll contact her "friends" from the outside and let them bring it to her.

At nights, I feel like she needs a but of her personal space so she will kiss your forehead and cuddle you to sleep, but after you fall asleep, she'll move and sleep a bit from you, just to keep her space...

She'll wear a necklace with your initial on it and she'll never take it off, it's very dear to her... when she's feeling sad or hopeless or when she's at the confinement, she kissed the necklace, just to feel your presence...

She's a different person when she's with you, she smiles more, a real smile, she laughs and she feels more free...

⤷ Altagracia

If you thought that Zulema's or Anabel's protectivnes is a lot, then you are not ready for Altagracia's.

She's on a whole different level. She saw how they killed her lover and then find out that he wasn't sleeping just with her, so she has very low temper + trust issues.

If any prisoner even dares to harm you, they are dead already, they signed their death wish.

She'll try to get you out of prison as quickly as possible but it takes some time and some money.

Sometimes she gets frustrated so she takes you to the confinement and fucks you till you pass out, but you love it.

Also she sometimes manages to get you out of prison and take you home for few days without anyone noticing (yeah, somehow she does it) and at these times she spends every minute with you, she cooks with you, cuddle with you, shower with you, etc...

She'll watch your every step, she also has access to the cameras so she really see everything. If someone is threathing to you and you don't tell her, she'll find out, punish you and kill the prisoner.

⤷ Román Ferreiro

Román now has only you and his sister, Maca. He does everything he can to protect you from everything. He became a bit paranoid from all the chaos and murders... it also affected his sleep a lot...

He has a problem falling a sleep and it takes time to calm him and make him fall asleep, he's also became a light sleeper so he might wake up durning the night.

Which helps him tho, is when you cuddle him or stroke his hair, cheek or when you kiss his forehead...

Another very protective person, like I already said he became a bit paranoid so he's VERY protective.

He loves you, a lot. He cannot imagine his life without you and if someone killed you or harmed you, he'd go feral!

You two live in a caravan and travel a lot. From time to time you visit Maca in the prison. But otherwise you are just driving around, he think that it's safer when you don't stay at one place for too long...

Sometimes it's too much on him and he needs to rest, it's the time when his paranoia and anxiety get the best of him, like for example he spends endless nights looking out of the window with a gun in his hands just because he think that danger is coming, someone who will hurt you... so at these times you have to drag him to the bed with you and cuddle him to sleep. Lots of words of affirmation and kisses will calm him down.

⤷ Hanbal Hamadi

He'll treat you like a queen, literally. You are his pride, his queen, his everything. He'll show you off a lot and he'll also do a lot PDA, I mean he's not ashamed at all, he can just fuck you in front of everybody.

You're his and he's yours; this is his moto, kinda?? Basically it means that no one can touch you and if anyone try, he'll kill them.

Lots of traveling together. Somewhere away, somewhere warm with a sea and a beach... so like Turkey, Egypt, Arabia, Romania, Greece, Bulgaria, etc...

He's very touchy and possessive. He has to be touching you all the time, even if it's just a pinkie or a slight touch on your thigh. But what he loves the most is probably your butt and face. He loves when he can squeeze your butt or lay on it, it's soft and he can squeeze it, yk yk...

And your face, well because he loves your face. He always tells you that you are the most beautiful woman he ever saw in his life. He also loves your facial expressions, especially the small one that you probably don't even notice..

He'll tease you a lot and then he'll just laugh at your reaction. He finds it really cute and he cannot stop, unless it's making you uncomfortable.

He loves dancing with you. Doesn't matter if you cannot dance or you are bad at it, just dance with him. Move around the kitchen with him or the beach or in the sea, everywhere.

1962

This mesmerising duet between Noura and Kamal Hamadi is a beautiful blend of traditional Algerian sounds and heartfelt emotions.

Noura's captivating voice paired with Kamal Hamadi's rich vocals creates a powerful dialogue.

From the first few seconds I was hooked!

[headknight-oh]

Thinking about how people get all emotional about the burning of the library of alexandria but no one ever talks about all the knowledge lost and codexes of the maya that the Spanish destroyed. And that was in the 16th century.

And like I know it’s because of colonialism getting to control the narrative and not highlighting its own atrocities, but holy shit.

Like there’s evidence of brain surgery in the region from at least 500 ce. And that stops in the 16 century because Hernan Cortes and those other fuckers stopped it and burned the manuals on how to do it. Like holy shit. So much knowledge was lost.

starter for @midnightsaboteur | alphonse & hamadi

despite being born into the regal life, alphonse really wasn't made for it. the only good fortune he had was that he was the spare and wouldn't ever have to concern himself over the notion of being king; his brother as prepared for that burden as he possibly can be. the worst thing about being the spare is the hard to swallow fact that all he was good for was ribbon cuttings and keeping the peace via small talk with the rich, famous and powerful throughout the world, whenever they visited france or he visited them. he was tired, yet he perservered. if his older brother could hold onto the immense weight of being the heir to the throne, he could deal with conversing with countless insufferable, yet influential individuals. the majority of those individuals didn't cause him much pain, he could handle seeing them and whilst he hardly delighted within their company, he could tolerate it. however, one person that he struggled to contend with was with the vice president. he didn't know what it was exactly, but the man made him wince. it definitely wasn't due to his ethereal, otherworldly gaze, or the way he seemed to manage to talk his way successfully through any conversation. no. the man was truly insufferable and each time they'd seen one another; alphonse had found himself shrouded in irritation, and not all too willing to work out the direct cause. merely acting out as a result of it. of course now he's been sat right next to him...just his luck. "hm, good evening hamadi." cue the forced (purposefully forced. he wants him to recognise it) smile, "how fortunate we are that you've been able to grace us with your presence..."

Decorative Sunday

Michigan artist Pati Scobey (b. 1954) has always made prints that have a highly decorative but surreal quality. This can be seen in her 1986 color-linocut accordion book Mining of the Heart, printed in Madison, Wisconsin at Walter Tisdale's Landlocked Press. When this book was printed, Scobey had already received her MFA from UW-Madison in 1984 and Tisdale was still working on his BS there. Both were students of the infamous and legendary Walter Hamady and were part of one of the most remarkable cohort of art students to come out of Madison that also included Barbara Tetenbaum, Kathy Kuehn, Ruth Lingen, Jim Lee, and John Bennett, among others.

Our copy of Mining of the Heart is another donation from the estate of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick.

Title: Gospel of Thomas: Why Is It Not In the Bible? Channel: ReligionForBreakfast (Dr. Andrew Henry) Length: 7:21

The entire text is preserved in a 4th century Coptic manuscript found in the Nag Hamadi Library, but likely originates in the 2nd century and was in Greek. It has no narrative, just 114 short "sayings of Jesus." People assume it is Gnostic but it lacks the theological features key to Gnosticism. Some of the quotes have close parallels with canonical scripture and may be an independent source, not one source copying the other, though other portions do look to be directly influenced by the canonical Gospels.

The Gospel of Thomas is not included in the canon because the there quickly became a movement that supported the exclusivity of the four Gospels we know now, and the Gospels of Thomas were called heretical.

AFC Wimbledon Still Need To Address Two Key Areas Of Concern - Opinion

AFC Wimbledon Still Need To Address Two Key Areas Of Concern - Opinion

AFC Wimbledon are still unbeaten in the league, and when you consider the only loss suffered so far this season was at Chelsea in the Carabao Cup, a game in which they were far from embarrassed, everything seems fine. There are huge positives to take from the first month of the season. The backroom staff have finally got their head around how to recruit players that are suitable for this level of…
