    Women’s boundaries and male exclusion

    I am glad my friends set boundaries and excluded me, because it taught me a valuable lesson: women have the right to say no.

    Sarah Mary Chadwick’s “Full Mood” is a hauntingly beautiful love song for our time

    “Full Mood” didn’t remind me of any one man I dated. It reminded me of many.

    Ramblings on a snow day

    Maybe its the weather. Maybe I didn’t get enough sleep. Maybe its the fact that we just lived through an attempted coup. Who can say?

  • Sonia Weiser’s “Opportunities of the Week” newsleter – a great resource for freelance journalists

    I first came across Sonia Weiser when she came across me. I tweeted about a website with absurd requirements for its writers, and she asked where. I looked at her profile and discovered she produces a weekly newsletter called “Opportunities of the Week,” in which she collates various calls for submissions from editors. Intrigued, I […]

    Looking back on 2020, looking ahead to 2021

    Skylar Baker-Jordan interviewed by Democratically and the LaFollette Press

    On writing, and going forward into 2021

    This is the first in what will hopefully be a series of personal blogs, reflecting on, well, whatever the hell I want to reflect on. A lot will no doubt be on politics, though I plan to migrate most of that writing to Medium where it can pick up more traffic and make a little […]
