was about to dj at the 20yrs of staatsakt eve but had to cancel due to illness. a bummer cause the new self-employment requires a lot of discipline & time in the office, which is why djing, evenings in pubs, clubs & time with people i used to see often were rare this year. I learned dealing with unprecedented financial bothers & the feasibility of self-employment under constant cold+flu madness. at least the year ended w/ a tour to BCN&back with DV
even though i don’t regularly express myself politically here, it doesn’t go past me that these activities seem privileged. it would feel strange to make a post like this without saying anything about the current state of the world..i’m grateful to find myself in an open minded environment where people support individuals & humanity. i have the utmost compassion for people who find themselves in violent situations because of cruel power games & religious differences. Its essential to stand up against racism & show solidarity w/ those affected
