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.

When Your Identity Is Treated Like a Phase

Being bisexual means living in the in-between — and fighting to be seen as whole.

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.

🤖✨ Breaking news: #AI is glorified while "deep fact-checking" sits in the corner shouting "Notice me, Senpai!" 😩🔍 Apparently, if you add 'deep' to anything, it becomes magic—except when it's fact-checking, which remains invisible. 🙈📉
