As you may have noticed, I’m doing some site renovations. This design has a more grown-up feel to me. Maybe that’s a reflection of where I am in life as much as the evolution of SCS. After five years and a few different layouts, I’m trying a new, cleaner feel. No sidebars. No filler. Just…
I recently shared some thoughts on the Dr. Tiller memorial tumblr called Your Hopes and Dreams. You can post your thoughts, too! Thought I’d pass along the sentiment here as well… As the survivor of sexual abuse, I cannot abide by people, systems, or institutions that only serve to silence and shame individuals. And that’s…
If you have been thinking about applying to the SCS internship (with yours truly) but felt stymied by a lack of transportation or because you live outside Las Vegas… this is your lucky day! It occurred to me that we do not have to see each other face-to-face to make this work. There’s technology for…

As regular readers know, The Sin City Siren is a one-woman show. I do my best to deliver witty, topical, feminist posts and you validate me by coming back again and again to read them.

Today I celebrate five years of The Sin City Siren, my little blog that (as it turns out) could. As I write this, I feel nostalgic and curious at the same time. I’m humbled by the support I get from so many loyal readers. I am grateful for everything we’ve accomplished together. But at the…
As you might have noticed, I’m working on some things to spruce up The Sin City Siren a bit. I’m coming up on a 5th anniversary on May 6. If that doesn’t call for a little renovation around here I don’t know what does! The most obvious and awesome update that I want to highlight…
One thousand posts. It doesn’t really seem possible that I’ve written that much. (And, in fact, I haven’t. Thank you, guest contributors!) It’s amazing what you can do in almost five years! I’m not sure what I expected when I started this blog on May 6, 2007, but I know I wasn’t expecting the kind…
I’m taking a sick day (my baby has brought home another cold and between me and her, life is just too miserable and mucus-filled for rational thought). But this is the perfect time to remind you of all the ways you can connect with The Sin City Siren when I fire up the old blog…
I am excited to announce that I have joined the Fem2pt0 feminist blogging consortium! Made up of a group of feminist bloggers, Fem2pt0 highlights many feminist issues you see here on The Siren — politics, sexism, pay equity, reproductive justice, and more. As one of the non-beltway bloggers, I will be lending my voice to…
