Behind the Blog: I Took a Week Off
This past week, I didn’t publish. Not because I’ve stopped caring, but because I needed to care elsewhere. My husband and I celebrated six years, his mom visited from out of town, and birthdays filled the air. Life was full. I wondered if anyone noticed the pause, but I realized: since September, I’ve shown up every week, typically twice or more.
And in all of that, something wonderful happened: Queer and Unbroken reached number one on Google for queer resilience blogs. That tells me something: resilience is also showing up for yourself, putting things briefly on the back burner to realign. I’m here now, steady and committed, continuing the work with you.
Just a couple of weeks ago, we launched our first interview with Mark “Ghost” Stevens and his book, “The Last Club Kid.” It’s the first of many, I suspect. I loved sitting down with Mark, and I’m eager to bring more voices from our community into Queer and Unbroken—so it’s not just mine, but all of ours. If you haven’t yet, I’d love for you to check out that conversation.
You can watch or listen to our first Queer and Unbroken Figments interview at queerandunbroken.com/figments-podcast. It’s just the beginning of the voices we’ll share.
