Making Yesterday's Tomorrow Today

Here are a bunch of art images i made. They are all "anti-copyright" and may be used by anti-authoritarians and others critical of psychiatry and authority in general; any other use, please contact me...
i invite input from folks in general, whether challenging or whatever. I would especially like to have more ideas for art, or ideas on how to make these existing ones even more clear and coherent.
Let's see if this works...(i see no limit on attachments; is there one?)

Anyone dealing with the hierarchical structure of institutions these days may want to understand them better so to more meaningfully challenge those portions (or entireties) in which they feel pained by. These excerpts may be pivotal.

These excerpts from Jerome Agel's 1970s book "The Radical Therapist" help demystify the metaphor of The Wizard of Oz --or "wizards of Is" as I like to say. Few if any authors have tried to demystify the game of how therapists are trained behind the closed doors of the industry. Enjoy!

Found the following interesting excerpt in an article called "The Mass Psychology of Misery" by John Zerzan. Thought people here would be interested, and may have not heard of this writer before. Take a look at the rest of the article (2 parts) at the link below.

Mad Gifts Week: A Celebration of Diversibility
2007 October 29th - November 4th
For anyone and everyone who takes pride in being different, in a world where what's considered 'normal' is killing us!
Celebrate Your Mad Gifts with a week of diversibility awareness, skills-share, discussion and activism! Show your mad pride to the world in the form of outreach workshops, language swaps, movie night, speak out or skills-share. Make the journey a personal rite of transformation by creating a mad map, writing a poem or a song about mad pride, draw your mad map persona, or make a madness first aid kit. Build community by discussing language, stigma, social and environmental factors influencing madness, trade alternative healing methods, or form local groups around areas of mad activism, such as the medication of youth.

how many of you have ever actually read what bin Laden actually says? Personally I disagree with much of what he has to say, but surely it must be a matter of honor to actually understand his viewpoint before condemming him.
Much of this is quite insightful. I recommend it.

Fancy seeing my attempt at making a fool of my "host"?

Obviously I'm not the first to feel that much of the rest of the world is crazy for calling me crazy... That I'm disabled by others' assumptions about reality... that the entire world is being categorized and commodified and homogenized and sterilized via some bizarre eugenic compulsion. I've seen some great posts here touching on things like shamanism and permaculture as a sort of radical and horizontal eco-psycho-social therapy... as a way we can sort of begin to put our lives in order with 'nature'... and I wanted to contribute to that with this short ecopsychology primer from Theodore Roszak. (Along with a few choice quotes from my ever-growing list.)
