"Not only do both find cases, they find more cases, fatalities I hadn’t heard of and that were not reported by the media. How many more have escaped notice?" —Paul Collins for The Believer https://www.thebeliever.net/the-death-of-a-superman/?src=longreads #donations #emergency #design #longreads #homelessness #invisibility

Motorists killing road workers? Money over lives?
We'd rather not know

"The way road trauma was classified contributed to that visibility problem."

"A traffic controller killed at a roadworks site does not appear in a public 'road worker' category."

"...While Queensland published weekly road toll figures, there was no one publicly accessible source that integrated public road fatalities, work-related road deaths, serious injury hospitalisations in one place or in near-real time. Road workers are especially vulnerable because they are exposed on high-speed corridors where a single reckless decision can have catastrophic consequences."

"Tragically, one afternoon Suzanne was struck by a truck travelling 106km/h in a 60km/h zone. The truck drove on the footpath and killed her." >>

A quotation from The Bible

We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
 
[μὴ σκοπούντων ἡμῶν τὰ βλεπόμενα ἀλλὰ τὰ μὴ βλεπόμενα· τὰ γὰρ βλεπόμενα πρόσκαιρα, τὰ δὲ μὴ βλεπόμενα αἰώνια.]

The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
2 Corinthians 4: 18 [KJV (1611)]

Bisexuality isn’t confusion, it’s clarity — but the world still insists on erasing it.
In my case, it looks like invisibility. Most of my friends just treat me as another straight woman.

Here's a comic introducing my new characters, Pam and Aziza!

They come from Rapporia, a planet with a tragic history. They've joined Astria's crew to prevent what happened there from happening again on other planets.

_Ethical responsibility_

Incest is settled by a perverse disconnect between words and deeds.
According to Cécile Cée, ‘the situation does not depend on what the victim has to say about it, but on what society should say about it’ (p. 181). Once the act of naming is not:
* the result of interpersonal negotiation (to what extent may I call incest what the victim does not designate as such?),
* but rather a collective statement (‘It is up to society, to third parties, to you, to enunciate,’ p. 182), which alone can ‘put the world back the right way up’ (p. 227),
* then we move away from individual conscience and into the realm of social and political ethical responsibility.

Some forms of fading aren’t disappearance.
They’re survival. Stillness mistaken for absence.

What if beauty never left, only the world stopped returning it?

A quotation from John Adams

The poor man’s conscience is clear; yet he is ashamed. His character is irreproachable, yet he is neglected and despised. He feels himself out of the sight of others, groping in the dark. Mankind takes no notice of him: he rambles and wanders unheeded. In the midst of a crowd, at church, in the market, at a play, at an execution or coronation, he is in as much obscurity as he would be in a garret or a cellar. He is not disapproved, censured, or reproached: he is only not seen. This total inattention is to him, mortifying, painful and cruel. […] To be wholly overlooked, and to know it, are intolerable.

John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
Essay (1790), “Discourses on Davila: A Series of Papers on Political History,” No. 5, Gazette of the United States

Did you know that #invisibility cloaks are #real?

From the 2nd c's Cap of Hades to #Marvel 's Invisible Woman, magic that renders one #invisible is a common theme in #mythology & #scifi.

In 2006, #theoretical #physicist John Pendry figured out that light could be bent around an object so that it renders it invisible.
This led to many advancements in metamaterial science, known as 'metamaterial cloaking'.

I've enjoyed this talk by Pendry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO6IrynhjKs [start: 4:43min]

This flower, which I saw outside my building, is new to me so I took its picture in order to look it up.

It is identified by my iPhone and Wikipedia as a Lenten Rose: “A perennial flowering plant and species of hellebore in the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae, native to Greece and Turkey.”

In case you were wondering, Lent is the six-week period leading up to Easter. It starts on Ash Wednesday (Feb. 14, 2024) and either ends on Maundy Thursday (March 28, 2024) or Holy Saturday (March 30, 2024), depending on the denomination. Today is March 10, so I saw this Lenten rose right in the middle of Lent.

When I looked up “hellebore” I learned that “the Eurasia genus Helleborus consists of approximately 20 species of herbaceous or evergreen perennial flowering plants in the family Ranunculaceae, within which it gave its name to the tribe of Helleboreae. Despite names such as ‘winter rose’, ‘Christmas rose,’ and ‘Lenten rose,’ hellebores are not closely related to the rose family. Many hellebore species are poisonous.” (Wikipedia)

That got me wondering about the tribe of Helleboreae and if they were hunters or gatherers. As far as I can tell, though, this is not a tribe of humans but of plants that have been used for both beneficial and nefarious purposes. “Healers have used hellebores in a variety of concoctions including salves, sold as a ‘fountain of youth’ and as a powder for invisibility. Medieval witches were thought to use Hellebore powder to summon demons.” (Tesselar.net)

According to one source, “in 600 B.C the Athenians under Solon used the poisonous Hellborus roots as a biological weapon to contaminate a river to subdue and conquer the un-suspecting citizens of  Kirrha who drank from it.” (Learnaboutnature.com)

So, this pretty little flower can be a biological weapon, has possibilities for use in summoning demons in scary movies, and could be used by superhero characters to achieve invisibility and eternal youth. It is also very near my apartment in case I ever have the urge to poison anyone.
