HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Me: I’m gonna do another Dawnwalker playthrough and choose different things this time! Also me: chooses basically the same things as the first time. 000
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Finished it! Let’s do it again. It’s almost October, that means all spooky vampire time, right? 000

HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Oh yeah! Blue sky is a thing! Anyhow, this is to say it’s September and I’m doubling down on the spooky music playlists. Witches and ghosts and monsters, y’all. It’s time. 120
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 10/11/2025Back home in Atlanta. Car driven. Three cats seen, three petted. Drank an entire pot of çay. I miss Istanbul terribly already. 020
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Final half a day in Istanbul, one cup of çay, no cats, one taxi. Görüşürüz, Türkiye! 000
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 08/11/2025It’s my birthday, and I’m on a team to the hamam in Karaköy, listening to someone playing Bella Ciao on a concertina. It’s a good day. 130

HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 22/10/2025This is straight up terrorism. State-sponsored destruction of an iconic, publicly-owned symbol of democracy and women in power. This is a bunch of bullshit. 020
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 21/10/2025Shady developers demolish buildings when they know they’re violating historic building codes and won’t get approval for what they want to do. And once the building is gone, it’s gone. So yeah, about that East wing… 1114

HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 02/10/2025A spooky month memento mori. 🧵 It’s out there - the heavy, clinging dark. It rustles and chirps. It presses expectantly at the edges of the weak circle of light on the stoop, bits of it sneaking in behind traitorous tufts of grass in the dirt. You clutch a plastic bag of trash in your clammy hand. 320
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 18/09/2025Good Thursday! The eve of the weekend! The home stretch! (Did you stretch today? Do it.) Y’all, I don’t have much else to say except that you should go and make your voice a loud one today. There are shenanigans afoot. 🧵voteriders.orgVoteRiders: Voter ID HelpVoteRiders provides free information and help with voter ID in all US states.

HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Legit the best dumb idea we’ve ever had. DragonCon was amazing as a result. 3171
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Friendship is standing at the checkout line of a Japanese grocery store, arguing about who pays, and yelling at your bestie, “just let me love you!!!!” (Spoiler: we both did) (love you, @devilspanties.bsky.social ) 140
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 10/06/2025Tuesday. I’m going to start with your reminder to take care of yourself. Stretch, drink water, do something that brings you joy. But I also want to emphasize how crucial your effort to engage is right now. What’s happening in LA is not legal, and it’s not normal. 310
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 13/05/2025Thanks, Episcopal Church! You’re not perfect, but you get a lot right. I’m so upset that the administration is bringing these folks here while they’re kidnapping and ejecting people who are from places where they’re actually in danger. 110
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 28/04/2025I donate monthly to the Trevor Project, just for stuff like this! Support your community, y’all! 030

HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Some joy for the day. Look at those leggies. LOOK AT THEM. So sleek. So straight. That come hither gaze. Perfection. 030
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 17/03/2025Hey, it’s Monday! Hopefully your weekend gave you some time to rest and recharge! Let’s get back into being active and engaged for this week. Some easy actions: 🧵 420
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 09/03/2025It’s Sunday! If you’ve got time today, take the opportunity to explore a new small business. Maybe it’s a new thing you didn’t know you could get in your community, or maybe it’s an alternative to a big box store. Whatever it is, I hope it’s a delight! 020
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 08/03/2025Before the 70s, women couldn’t: - Apply for bank accounts or credit alone (1974) - Serve on a jury in all 50 states (1973) - Get a business loan on their own (1988) Chances are someone you know was impacted by these. On International Women’s Day, let’s renew our commitment to fight for our rights. 010
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Some resources! open.substack.com/pub/thepeopl...open.substack.com 000
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 07/03/2025FRIDAYYY. Call your reps. Donate to the ACLU and Democracy Forward. 5calls.org is a super tool! Also, today is the beginning of a 40-day Target boycott. Shop local! And the Meta boycott continues through Wednesday (this one is tough for me, surprisingly) RESIST 110
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 06/03/2025All I’ve got today is keep calling your elected officials, and if one of them is one of these folks, be sure to read them the riot act. 000
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Look, I know we’re all living through history, I just don’t need to be reminded of it so forcefully. 010

Reposted by HappyGothElizabeth ❌👑 @bethburial.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Write and call university presidents at colleges in your area and implore them not to obey in advance. Governance by Truth Social is not legal, no matter how much Trump and his acolytes will it to be so, and this nonsense is in direct defiance of our First Amendment rights. 102
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 04/03/2025It’s Tuesday!!! I’m getting a late start, which is actually an early start to a full workday but delaying my calls and things. But I will call!🧵 210
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 01/03/2025A little act of resistance: call Ukraine by its name - Ukraine. Calling it “the Ukraine” serves to demote it to a territory, presumably for Russia to take, and Ukrainians find this offensive. 020
HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 28/02/2025FRIDAYYYY!!!!! This week (if you’re into this sort of thing), Artoffakt Records is offering free digital downloads on Bandcamp of a bunch of artists in their catalog. In case you didn’t know who that is, that’s the label that represents Skinny Puppy. 410

HappyGoth @happygoth.bsky.social · 13/02/2025My tiny bit of good for today is that my passport was renewed in a shocking one week, which I honestly did not expect, given everything lately. And my team brought their best to work today. I’m proud of them. 170
