Please register for our weekly Tuesday Happy Hour — today, August 8, 5 pm PT <3

***Registration link for ‘Bette’s Happy Hour’ is located below the paywall. Please join our growing community of pro-democracy global citizens at a great rate and share with allies. Paid members receive invites to our ‘Speakeasy’ zoom salons, access to all archives, including podcasts, and the new American Monsters series. Upgrade or join at the Founding Member rate for a special monthly invite.***

All apologeez for any confusion — today is the day for our Happy Hour — we always get together on Tuesdays.

Looking forward to seeing many of you in the squares today for our weekly wellness checkin, and just a reminder, each week we alternate the time so as many people from around the world can checkin. Today, our time is 5 pm PT, which is 8 pm New York time.

Although the Happy Hour was inspired as a wellness check, where we each offer suggestions of how we stay well during trouble times, it’s okay that we also chat about breakers and fears. That’s part of how of we do this as a community — empathy, listening, sharing.

Don’t forget to register <3

Bette Dangerous is a reader-funded magazine. Thank you to all monthly, annual, and founding members. Thank you as well to all those who support my work with your generous coffee tips and who buy my ebooks. Some of you prefer making subsidizing donations via venmo, and it’s always greatly appreciated. If you wish to gift a membership, you can do so by donating to the ko-fi or venmo accounts, and indicate it’s for a gift, or do so here.

Founding Members will be invited to our first monthly Founder’s Day event with ‘Russia’s War on Everybody’ author Keir Giles on August 20. All paid members receive invites to our ‘Speakeasy’ zoom salons, and weekly wellness checkins, Bette’s Happy Hour. Our next ‘Speakeasy’ on August 13 will feature Paul Mason, author of ‘How to Stop Fascism.’

Also, a private link to an annual membership discount for older adults, those on fixed incomes or drawing disability, as well as activists and members of the media is available upon request at bettedangerous@gmail.com. 🥹
