Hi, I’m Sam! It’s nice to meet you. This is my little corner of the internet. Make yourself comfortable!
I’m a thirty-something writer and content creator, living in the Pacific Northwest. He or they pronouns are fine by me!
I started Let’s Queer Things Up! almost a decade ago now, hoping to empower LGBTQIA+ people to live more authentic, meaningful, and supported lives. This blog is equal parts advice-I-wish-I’d-had and glimpses into my personal journey.
I’ll admit, it’s actually been years since I’ve posted (though who knows, that may change)! If you’re looking for a more up-to-date platform, I post more frequently on my Instagram these days.
I’ve written about everything from body image, to ADHD hacks, to navigating trauma responses like fawning, hoping that what I’ve learned along the way might benefit others, too. Writing my own story has helped me to find meaning in the struggles that used to feel all-consuming — and I hope that through witnessing me stumble and persevere, you’ll feel inspired to carve out your own path, too.
When I’m not blogging, I’m dad to two very precious cats, drinking lots of hot cocoa, and consulting my tarot cards about my next big move. I’m an unapologetic optimist, bisexual witch, and the human equivalent of a labradoodle. I’m basically what happens when you put Leslie Knope and Steven Universe into one human being.
If you’re interested in working together, take a look at my website for more about what I do. Thanks for stopping by!
