The journal is our "blog", separate from Tumblr, though to serve a separate purpose. Where our main Tumblr blog (@bright-system) is meant for more serious things - essays, art, our zines and so on - our journal will also include more general rambly update-y posts for people who care enough to read them (but also for ourselves). The more high-effort stuff will be on here too, but the more lowkey stuff will stay journal-exclusive to keep the Tumblr blog more "serious", for those just trying to find our art and essays.
Also, for those in the US, the dates below use the day-month-year date format, just to avoid any confusion.
