A NEW LOOK FOR 2021 ...

We've been messing around for years now, but finally tigerulze is live again as it was always meant to be ... a "net" with distinct parts - a set of pages named homepage/ imagineer/ textify/ justice and retrospect, which may wander off into sidestreets ... and links to photogalleries, articles by me and others, interesting snippets, poetry, politics and so on ...

USE THE MENU OR THE SIDEBAR
...everything here is kinda like life itself - chaotic at first glance, but following a deeper order - just use the menu or the sidebar (when it appears) to ramble around.

Reading history to imagine how peoples' movements established true democracies, when the world was "Turned Upside Down" by Diggers, Ranters, Levellers, Quakers and Seekers. Recalling too the Paris Commune when hearing of Rojava today. Even though winter is coming, remember the spring of childhood. . .
