I’m reading a physical copy of @thepulp.org while drinking Houseplant Jungle at Gild, like the way God intended.

I’d love to know if it’s the same squirrel visiting my window this semester. Whatever the case, I’m grateful for the company.

Even LinkedIn is giving up on me finding* an education reporting job in Missoula lmao

But damn. This really marks the end of an era, and the beginning of a new, exciting chapter.

*I haven’t been actively looking for education reporting jobs in well over a year.

I have been all smiles during this storm. What a beautiful distraction to a 🫠🫠🫠 couple of weeks

I also updated our gallery wall with the print I picked up in New Orleans (with authentic parade beads from the Krewe of Boo) and two prints I got at an estate sale in Helena earlier this fall.

Well that’s the thing… it wasn’t a sweater…

It was a DRESS 😂😂😂

I got my Missoulian painting re-matted today and I’m so happy with how it came out!

Fun fact: I won the painting at an “Ugly Christmas Sweater” party the last year we were still in the downtown building. Certainly one of my most prized possessions.

I never dared to promote this on my old Twitter because… angry people on that platform didn’t like it when I had fun… but if you are at all interested in thrifting, fashion, outfit inspo, or general merriment, please find me on IG: thriftymt

You too can look *this good* wearing thrifted clothes

A year ago this week I criss-crossed the state on a mission to better understand four-day school weeks in Montana as a reporting fellow with the Education Writers Association.

I covered more than 1,200 miles, making pit stops in communities that adopted the alternative schedule.

Hi, I’m Skylar!

I used to work as a local education journalist, but now I do comms at the University of Montana.

I also love to explore Montana, thrift shop, support local businesses and artisans, watch baseball (Mets/PaddleHeads) and anything to do with the Grizzlies.

Thanks
