Start Here - Trust me. It's all connected

I just watched the news and now I'm staring out the window with a cup of tea. I might be rolling my eyes so hard it will count as calisthenics for the day, so let's keep it simple. Bottom line, I have a low threshold for boredom and zero tolerance for bullshit. I've learned to live with bullshit.

I’m Skylar, a storyteller, reader, artist, and use-to-be owner of a public relations agency in the San Francisco Bay area. Find me on other platforms: Instagram, Substack, Bluesky, Medium, YouTube, but spending much less time on X (Twitter), at least for now. I also working on my Instagram just for the travel content - @ gps_isfor_quitters. I'm also on Discord on a few servers and you can find me under my usual handle, skyburton28.

Below is an introduction to what you will find on this website. It's a lot I know. I've been writing for a long time and I've dug into some old notebooks and files and websites and consolidated everything here. But there's a lot more ahead and I suspect that there's something here for everybody.

What's Here

Flip through my Lookbook, savor the savage truth in Love Stories? (and def some heartache), tray tables up for Jetlag travel stories, and check your heartbeat in Pulse for flash stories and poetry.

Fuse (also on my Substack) was recently added here to separate out more hard-hitting opinions about technology, politics, the music industry, and anything else I feel like ranting about today.

Go here if you are curious why I called the site 424.

You might like Road Noise for sassy stories, tips, how tos, and what not to do when spending two years on the road in a trailer. Most of this is on my adventure Instagram (gps_isfor_quitters).

If you like sci-fi check the stories in Elements. Chapter by chapter! All the locations, conferences and computer-related events are places I've been and things I've done. It's not finished because I couldn't decide how to end it. Help me end it!

Don't forget the Merch page for art, objects and FREE digital downloads.

Much of what you read on these pages is true. A few more questions answered here on FAQs (I'll be updating that frequently).
