Nevertheless, Persisting

Have you ever ..?

Have you ever looked back on a moment and realized that’s when everything changed?

In 2020, nationally recognized public sociologist and author Dr. Amy Blackstone boarded a plane. She caught a virus. It changed everything. Five years into her journey with Long COVID, Dr. Amy announces Nevertheless, Persisting, the Substack & Podcast.

Substack

At its heart, the Nevertheless, Persisting Substack is simply Amy's next step along her years-long journey as a public sociologist, sharing her knowledge, and using what power and influence she's been lucky enough to collect to shed light on the variety of ways individual lives are shaped by social forces.​

Podcast

In the Nevertheless, Persisting podcast, Dr. Amy is joined by her husband/partner-in-crime, Lance Blackstone. Amy and Lance are two sick (literally) and tired, childfree Gen Xers who take a deep dive into the topics explored in Dr. Amy's writing - being chronically ill in the "post" pandemic era, invisibility and aging, spreading kindness in an unkind world, making change where we can, and what it means to have that old "in sickness and in health" promise they made over 30 years ago actually come to roost.
