Glass garden
Glass garden
It is formed like by the water, frozen.
Cracked laughter.
Elves rush together between the clear flowers
Of the frozen-like branches, of the glass-like trees.
Do they live well?
They don't cast shadows,
Only broken images.
They glow.
In the glass garden
Time gets lost
And stays as a moment.
(Refrain)
Only the moon shows the way to tomorrow morning,
Allows a new day for the sun.
The moon kisses light in the glass garden.
Only the moon shows the way to tomorrow morning,
Allows a new day for the sun.
The moon kisses light in the glass garden.
Nothing smells,
The fruits are tasteless.
Who enjoys it?
Good...
In the crystals light gets lost.
The flowers look brittle and frigid.
Whom should I send this cold,
To realize this emptiness?
It is impossible to gather them,
They burst in thousand of shards,
The tiny cristals, that sing scattering around,
Accompanying the breathe of the elves,
For everyone
Who is ready to listen to.
(Refrain)
Only the moon shows the way to tomorrow morning,
Allows a new day for the sun.
The moon kisses light in the glass garden.
Only the moon shows the way to tomorrow morning,
Allows a new day for the sun.
The moon kisses light in the glass garden.
(Refrain)
Only the moon shows the way to tomorrow morning,
Allows a new day for the sun.
The moon kisses light in the glass garden.
How everything is so clear, smooth, pure
How everything is so clear, smooth, pure
Only the moon shows the way to tomorrow morning,
Allows a new day for the sun.
The moon kisses light in the glass garden.
(Intro/Refrain)
Entirely of glass,
Cold as ice,
Every tree, glass garden.
Everything blossoms purely
Like crystals, in the glass garden.
Entirely of glass,
Cold as ice,
Every tree, glass garden
Everything blossoms purely
Like crystals, in the glass garden.
Everything
Blossoms purely like,
Like crystals,
For me in the glass garden.
(Refrain)
Entirely of glass,
Cold as ice,
Every tree, glass garden.
Everything blossoms purely
Like crystals, in the glass garden.
Entirely of glass,
And cold as ice,
Every tree in the glass garden
Blossoms so purely
Like crystals
Everything
In the glass garden.
(Refrain)
Entirely of glass,
Cold as ice,
Every tree, glass garden.
Everything blossoms purely
Like crystals, in the glass garden.
And the flowers look brittle,
It's completely impossible to gather them.
They burst in crystals
That sing softly while scattering around.
And the breathe of the gentle elves
That accompany with the quietest tone,
Through the garden, entirely of light,
To the one, if he can still hear.
(Refrain)
Entirely of glass,
Cold as ice,
Every tree, glass garden.
Everything blossoms purely
Like crystals, in the glass garden.
Entirely of glass and
Cold as ice is,
Every tree here
In the glass garden
Everything
Blossom purely
Like crystals
For me in the glass garden
(Outro/Refrain)
Entirely of glass,
Cold as ice,
Every tree, glass garden.
Everything blossoms purely
Like crystals, in the glass garden. Goethes Erben & Peter Heppner - Glasgarten
TIL that the term "Mizrahi" is a reclaimed term, originally a racist term and slurrish, it's since been reclaimed by those Jews as a way to self-identify, especially for those Jews who live in Israel.
I've only heard it in the context of its reclaimed use, but knowing the history is important.
While I am am Ashkenazi, if someone identifies as a Mizrahi, you do not have the right to call them an "Arab Jew". You should always use the term that they use for self-identification.
In addition, I did not ask to be put on these groups, nor do I wish to engage with you any further.
If someone identifies as Sephardi or Mizrahi and someone else "re-classifies them" "Arab Jew", this is a form of erasure and possibly harassment.
@josephramoney well we have those as well… Baruch ashem … 🙏 the #Ashkenazi eugenicist Arthur Ruppin, for example, a prominent #Zionist leader who met with Himmler's mentor, Hans F. K. Günther. Ruppin was also Ben Gurion’s mentor, so I guess the ethnic cleansing of #Palestine was not an accident.

Boy howdy. This week's No Such Thing As A Fish goes from ridiculous American blue laws and "American cheese" - two of their favorite misunderstood topics - to straight up insulting Americans, including an out-of-the blue cheap shot by @neilhimself at American pharmacists. Jesus, guys. What gives?
@neilhimself If you can answer, can you please say the budget for sandman per ep? since google shows 15m an ep and you refuted that. And did S2 budget go up a lot? estimates are fine. Thank you.
Mah juxtaposes the petrochemical industry’s destructive corporate worldviews with environmental justice struggles in the US, China, and Europe: multiscalar activism—a form of collective resistance that spans local, regional, national, and planetary sites and scales and addresses the interconnected issues of #EnvironmentalJustice, #climate, #pollution, health, extraction, land rights, workers’ rights, systemic #racism, and toxic #colonialism
I have not read this yet but looks like a LOT of resonance with #OilBeach. "Most large petrochemical facilities are located in coastal regions, near to ports, for access to shipping lines. Tightly enclosed behind security gates, they resemble cities with tall towers and giant cylindrical storage tanks. They flare and steam and crackle. How do these petrochemical plants relate to the ports? How are they regulated? Who are the main global corporate players? Who are the biggest polluters?"
Oh wow. It was absolutely stunning! An incredible translation of the novel, with so many extra elements which couldn’t have worked in any other medium except live #theatre.
If you have a chance to see it wherever it’s playing next, don’t miss it; it’s a hell of a show!
As we all hopefully know, everything @neilhimself touches turns to magic, like a less cursed King Midas!
Listening to @neilhimself talking about the history of bagels (based in Polish anti-semitism, I did not know) on my favorite trivia podcast while all the other UK-based hosts are politely like "Lox is what...?" and just being reminded again at how much some of the "traditional" foods for me are unusual/unknown even among... people who know things for a living.
