old blog posts

I've blogged "properly" for a few years now, albeit sporadically, and the outcomes of that process can be seen over at https://jakegrxz.tumblr.com/. Basically all the pieces there are related to bits and pieces of activism and campaigning I've been doing over the past 2-3 years as a student, and while I still think those pieces are good, they mark a period of my life that has kind of reached its tentative conclusion. I handed in my master's dissertation yesterday, and if I do do a PhD it won't be for at least a couple of years; simply, my student days are over. And as I move into the "real" world, with my time and energy even more firmly hemmed in by the imperatives of wage-labour, I find myself gravitating more towards creative activities like writing and mixing as forms of "praxis" (if you can call it that) rather than organising. Thus this blog.
