In the wake of the most recent tragedy yesterday (November 19th, 2022) at Club Q, an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs, CO, I am publishing a formerly recorded episode that I never released. At the time of posting this, we believe that 5 people are dead and 18 are injured. There was a drag show. I didn't publish this episode because I thought it was too dark and heavy to be so early in the first season. I thought about revisiting it but then changed the format of the podcast episodes and it didn't fit anywhere else. But now, I feel moved to publish it. I'm leaving it as recorded in its final version, July 2021. If you want to learn how to support those of us in the LGBTQ+ community during this time, especially with the potential crunchiness of the holiday season that can come up for us, please listen to this episode and attend my Self-care for the Holigays: Taking care of ourselves and each other event. I'm co-presenting with my lovely friend, Cody Daigle-Orians (he/they). You can RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/self-care-for-the-holigays-tickets-446207447487?aff=AIAV Take good care, friends <3 Chris Angel (they/them) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/allyship-is-a-verb/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/allyship-is-a-verb/support
