The Initiative to Keep Hasankeyf Alive and Mesopotamia Ecology Movement called on social movements, NGO's, activists to join the 3rd Global Day of Action for the defense of the 12,000 year old town Hasankeyf and the Tigris River on 7 and 8 June.
Julie Ward MEP, Member of the Committee on Culture & Education, wrote to President Erdoğan to express her utmost concern regarding the announcement of the filling of the Ilisu Dam on 10 June 2019.
The letter reads as follows:
"As you know, filling this dam will have disastrous consequences for the downstream areas of the Tigris river, and in particular for Hasankeyf. The cultural heritage of this city is unmatched, spanning nine civilisations. For 12,000 years, it has been a site of uninterrupted human settlement. Dozens of cultures have left their mark on Hasankeyf.
As a cultural activist, and a Member of the Culture and Education Committee in the European Parliament, I am very concerned by reports stating that the filling of the dam would flood and destroy most of the city. The site of Hasankeyf is an international heritage site that should belong to humanity as a whole. The threat posed by the Ilisu Dam project prompted the World Monuments Fund to list the city on its 2008 Watch List of the 100 Most Endangered Sites in the world." [end excerpt]

3. Death, (from "Sandman" graphic novel) -
Outside of being capable of intimidating even the most powerful of creatures, Neil Gaiman’s version of Death eschews every other stereotype. Instead of a implacable male figure in robes, she’s a perky goth woman in casual clothing. As a kind personification of death, with a very distinctive look, it’s not surprising that she became so popular, so fast. [end excerpt]

Not commonly known is the sub-genre of "Death Rock?" Best known example is "This Corrosion" (extended version), by Sisters of Mercy [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgifFdi8eio]:
