I have recently started an account at Tumblr imaginatively entitled The Simulacra Tumblr. Tumblr is similar to a blog, but rather than me writing content, I link things and save quotes and pictures and videos etc.

I started it for two reasons, firstly because I wanted to have a place where I can easily share links to things I am interested in, and that I hope others may be interested in, and secondly to give myself an improved and more coherent record of where I have been on the internet and the most valuable ideas I have come into contact with. Having things linked chronologically all in one place enables me to skim back over things I have previously visited so I can better cement my ideas and hopefully better amalgamate them into myself and my writing.

The tumblr is much more political than this site, I’ve deliberately stayed away from too political subjects here. The tumblr is meant to provide an accompaniment to this site, rather than an extension; adding an extra dimension to my personal datawake. The majority my internet browsing relates to news, media and environmental and social justice issues, so that is most of what will be appearing there, along with a few snippets of other things. Hopefully you can find something interesting and maybe discover some new sources for ideas.
