This morning I switched on the computer and on to my pageflakes page and came across this post on Women of Color Blog echoing some of my own thoughts and feelings.
so we all know that occasionally, bloggers hit their wall and they just can’t do it any more. that it just builds up and builds up and builds up and finally, things collapse, and there’s the deep horrible feeling in the pit of your stomach that you want nothing more than to explode your blog or write a massive fuck you to the entire world?
Somewhere along the way things got lost. the bottom line is that really very few people actually give a fuck. SandMonkey was right after all – we live in a world of EXTREME APATHY. Who gives a shit about Khwezi, shackdwellers or violence against women, lesbians getting raped or young black men killing each other and then making t-shirts of the dead? Probably BL will be back sometime meanwhile a really big thanks to all the contributors – the space is here if you want – if not well it will either revive itself or die a slow death.

Black looks, this is very sad indeed. I hope that this is just a brief hiatus and that your readers won’t have to make do with reading you only in other spaces on the net.
I miss you already. come back
Sokari, I hope we’ll hear from you again soon, either here or somewhere else on the Internet. Your voice is too strong, too honest and too important to be still for very long – for our sake, if not for yours. Thanks for all you’ve written here.
Thanks Pumla and Ethan and everyone who left comments and emails – as you can see I am back – not a great break but we are all entitled to get pissed off from time to time. I believe the”It must be done” post says it all. PS thanks to DD for asking me to turn the comments and for the chat yesterday!
The pleasure was all mine, Sokari! Happy to have “met” you and yes, you are so right, we are all entitled to get “pissed off from time to time”.
Glad you are back.
