As someone who still half ass identifies as a goth this prompt was a challenge. Just one? Who do I go with? The Sisters? Bauhaus? Siouxsie? Go proto goth with the Doors? And then Shadowplay played and the choice was made for me.

Day 18: Goth

In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more,
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

Absolutely! The Sisters were the first goth band I ever heard and they absolutely blew my mind.

Day 17: Fear

Who can it be knocking at my door?
Go away, don't come 'round here no more
Can't you see that it's late at night?
I'm very tired and I'm not feeling right
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don't you invade my home

I’m not going to tell you how long it’s been since Mad Men went off the air, but I will mention that it’s a *lot* easier to get roly poly glasses these days and I’m pretty sure that distance is the reason.

The most interesting about Trump springing George Santos from prison is that Trump is still in the Epstein Files.

Fun fact, this is one of @uglyfish25.bsky.social's favorite songs from the 80's.

At least that part had a happy ending.

Yeah, this one was definitely a challenge. All I could think of was Smokey and … ICP? Thankfully the Beat swooped in for the save!

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely check that out.

Putting together some photos for a thing.

A huge stadium crowd is looking at a giant screen that proclaims "ITS ON!" twice with the Gallagher brothers in the center. If this picture could make a sound, it would sound like the Standing on the Shoulders of Giants track, "Fucking in the Bushes". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQONUdzwfC4&list=RDhQONUdzwfC4&start_radio=1

The jumbotron with Noel Gallagher with multiple views of him, his guitar, the drummer. It's displaying everything in blue. This is from "Don't Look Back In Anger".

Close up of Oasis on stage. It's not THAT close up mind you, but you can clearly make them out because no one stands like Liam when they sing. This is from Wonderwall (hell yeah).

View of the fireworks show from the end of the Oasis concert at the Rose Bowl. Fireworks are shooting off behind the jumbotron which is focused on Liam who is backlit by rose light and he himself is lit up in blue. He has a tambourine on his head and it appears like the fireworks are erupting from him. Champagne Supernova was playing as the encore. It was frankly, fucking great.

Day 16: Clown

I figure with everyone else doing Smokey Robinson, I'd swerve and go with the (English) Beat.

To this day, I still wonder how the hell Wesley Snipes managed to not get absolutely covered in whatever the blood was.

Today’s misadventures began with me parking, grabbing my bag and my coffee and *immediately* dropping my coffee cup onto the floor of the parking garage. Cup is okay. Contents of the cup less so.

Day 14: Creepy

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist
