Autonomedia: The Sacred Congregation for Universal Jubilation
These are the people that I 'stole' the picture at the top of my Writing page from. They publish calendars and other materials. I own the calendar, and it was a wonderful place for me to learn about people like Maya Deren, Jalaloddin Rumi, E. Cady Stanton, Cap'n Streeter, Tom Paine, and more (it's only April!) Who are these people, you ask? Get the calendar!

The staff at the Sacred Congregation for Universal Jubilation want to say: "We can't be so bold as to pretend that we have worked out all the mundane details of this new world of permanent celebration, particularly in a reality which appears to have lost even its imaginative alternatives to the control mechanisms of the Planetary Work Machine. Certainly there will be people all over the world quite unable to hear and heed the trumpet of Jubilee, unfortunates so caught up by the machinery of work and war that they mistake the ticking of the time-clock for the beating of their own hearts. They might continue the toil of the wage-slave, oblivious to the theft of everyday life and soul-death perpetuated upon them. Much of the work they might continue to do is quite useless- often even harmful, socially and ecologically. Perhaps they might be subtly steered toward more suitable uses of their machines? as to the rest of us, so as not to further contribute to their exploitation, a certain self-reliance is called for. Who knows, in a more convivial and harmonious social environment, many of the activities we think of as hard labour might become 'attractive labour', a kind of playful celebration for those inclined toward them. Who has more energy than the child at play? What is 'work' itself if not a communal relation strangely gone bad? In any event, the goal of full and egalitarian Zerowork is what we call for- and certainly not the 'trickle-down' variety of aspiring well-connected yuppies on the make."

In any case, that is the calendar that hangs on the mesh wall of my 'cell' at work, which draws the attention of everyone who visits me, to peer at pictures and try to figure what's going on. I hung it there to remind me that when my job no longer serves me and I start to serve it, it is time to push off for greater adventures...
