Blood on the rooftops

(vectors of the abolition of the right to abortion, like of many other social advances)

"The lyrics of 'Blood on the rooftops' by Genesis (1976) refer to a 'typical' middle-aged or elderly couple that have very little else to do with their lives than to watch TV, and complain about the content. The various references to TV programmes show how the escapism of fantasy and fiction impacts so deeply that they can no longer distinguish between that and the grim events of the real world.

Rather than retreating into ignorance, the lyrics show more that if lives are made to become insignificant (through staleness, doing the same thing, taking partners and situations for granted), the only meaningful thing left is to make an issue of 'the world' as they see it which, of course, is tainted by their own blinkered perceptions."

This insignificance, which ends up permeating, by contagion, our perception of the hyper-mediatised war in Ukraine, includes our own existence. Powerless, except for a few moments, to act against this drama, what are we worth? What are our lives worth, if not by consumption of and emotional investment in the face of images distilled every day of an issue that is beyond us - when it should involve us in remedying it in a few days all together... if we had, if we could take our future into our own hands in a responsible and voluntary way - just as we have taken it from our dear ipernity...

Blood on the rooftops, by Genesis, one of their most beautiful "anodyne" ballads

Heute mein "9.Geburtstag".
Nochmal zurück erinnern, was da eigentlich passiert ist 2012. Viel Glück gehabt, wunderbare Ärzte und Pflegepersonal kennen gelernt, die mir geholfen haben, die Situation so anzunehmen, wie sie ist. Hab doch Glück gehabt, viel hat sich für mich nicht geändert. Alles etwas ruhsamer, Nein habe ich gelernt zu sagen. Man ist dankbar, noch über der Grasnarbe zu atmen und seine Frau und Kinder immer noch erleben zu können.
Dafür lohnt es auch, sich Impfen zu lassen

Happy Easter to all Ipernity friends. I wish all friends happy holidays, with lots of sun in your heart and a hard-working Easter bunny, who doesn't hide the Easter eggs too well. ;-)

Fröhliche Ostern allen Ipernity Freunden. Ich wünsche Euch schöne Feiertage, mit viel Sonne im Herzen und einen fleißigen Osterhasen, der die Ostereier nicht all zu gut versteckt. ;-)
