On The Turning Away - Pink Floyd - 1987

[mitjalovse]

I talk of Gilmour and don't mention his major claim to fame? Yes, I forgot to mention his work with Pink Floyd. While the debate on whether or not they should be seen as that band under his leadershop remains, I would call them another edition of the group, which basically survived a lot, so their final incarnation does make sense. Gilmour transformed the band into an outgrowth of his solo work at the time, but I would suggest him collaborating with Wright and Mason made what he did on his own better. We mustn't forget – Pink Floyd didn't go all Chicago in their late 80's return, they became a progressive MOR rock. Believe me, this description sounds way more pejorative than intended, since they did something quite extraordinary – they still remained themselves.

This song means more to me now than when I first heard it.

Bisan is calling for another global strike!

I saw some posts just outlining Jan 21st, and wanted to clarify that Bisan has called for a full seven days of action.

What a global strike would look like is:

calling in sick to work

purchasing bare essentials ahead of the week so you can observe the general boycott of goods / buying as little as you genuinely can

putting in a concerted effort to elevate Palestinian voices and make it clear that this strike is in support of a permanent ceasefire!

For those who will have to purchase necessary goods during this time, please observe the brands that the BDS movement is asking us to boycott!

♢♢♢

Right now is also a good time to mention some better uses for your money during this week.

Available e-sims in Gaza are running low!!

Mirna El Helbawi and her team are working round the clock to continue to connect Palestinians as Israel does its best to cut them off from the rest of the world.

You can learn how to purchase and send e-sims here, and below you’ll find a list of what is currently needed (the areas in brackets indicate what region you should select to buy e-sims in).

--

CareforGaza is an organisation that does verifiably good work, distributing supplies directly to Palestinian families.

They have a Gofundme set up at the moment, but because of Gofundme’s poor track record regarding refusing to transfer funds to Palestinians, I’d recommend continuing to donate directly to their PayPal here.

Good luck to all of you. Don't turn away from Palestine!

Gotham has so many rogues and most of them don’t actually cause that much trouble in the grand scheme of things, so other than the really big ones, like joker, news about Gotham rogues can get pretty muddled outside the city which leads the JL to believing that Batman and Manbat are the same person and that their colleague sometimes turns into a giant bat monster but they don’t bring it up bc they think it’s a sensitive topic

Which eventually leads to a scenario like this mid combat when they’re getting pretty desperate:

Green Lantern: I know we’re not supposed to talk about it or whatever, but it would be really helpful if you could turn into a giant bat right now, spooky

Batman, having zero context for this comment, pausing mid fight to look at Hal like he just grew a second head: What the fuck are you talking about, Jordan?

Green Lantern, suddenly much less confident: Um…you know how you…turn into a giant bat?

Batman, utterly bewildered, turning to the other members but finding that he is clearly the only one out of the loop: what is happening right now

"On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden And the words they say Which we won't understand

Don't accept that what's happening Is just a case of others' suffering Or you'll find that you're joining in The turning away

It's a sin that somehow Light is changing to shadow And casting its shroud Over all we have known

Unaware how the ranks have grown Driven on by a heart of stone We could find that we're all alone In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night As the daytime is stirring Where the speechless unite in a silent accord

Using words, you will find, are strange Mesmerised as they light the flame Feel the new wind of change On the wings of the night

No more turning away From the weak and the weary No more turning away From the coldness inside

Just a world that we all must share It's not enough just to stand and stare Is it only a dream that there'll be No more turning away?"

- "On The Turning Away" by Pink Floyd (A Momentary Lapse of Reason, 1987)

Take these lyrics to heart when it comes to the many humanitarian crises in our world, at home and abroad, and regarding environmental crises. No more turning away.
