It is a time of freedom and fear, of Gaia and of borders, of many paths and the widening of a universal toll road, emptying country and swelling cities, of the public bought into privacy and the privacy of the public sold into invisible data banks and knowing algorithms. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.

These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread.

Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.


A New Feature's First Draft: Irregular States (Alabama)
Thursday, April 22, 2004
 
For some time now, we've been offering progressive political bumper stickers for all fifty states in the USA. But we've decided to go further, and so are proud to announce the launch of the first wee dinghy in what will be a flotilla of progressive resources called...

Irregular States.

The new Irregular States is an information clearinghouse for local political action. We're gathering together links to alternative news sources, movement organizations, local meetups, and progressive messages to make it easier for you to follow that good old dictum, "think globally, act locally."

We've got a first-draft version up and running for the state of Alabama. Please take a gander and tell us what you think! We welcome suggestions for what would make it better.
