_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.

Translation: Incest is a relationship to truth and silence. It never is a story between two individuals, it always is a story about family, domination, about who is in charge and who looks the other way. Original: "L’inceste c’est un rapport à la vérité et au silence, ça n’est jamais une histoire entre deux individus, c’est toujours une histoire de famille, de domination, de savoir qui commande et qui regarde ailleurs." première page de "CE QUE CÉCILE SAIT : JOURNAL DE SORTIE D’INCESTE", DE CÉCILE CÉE, AUX ÉDITIONS MARABOUT

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: youtube.com/watch?v=VO6IrynhjK [start: 4:43min]

Sex Ed for Bi Guys :heart_bi:

@sleepybisexual I really love this article that talks about the #invisibility of #bisexual invisibility. Basically, it's how #biphobia works: it tells everyone that there's nothing to see, that bi+ people aren't real and that if they are, they aren't really oppressed and they have it easy. But we have over 20 years of research that shows we're worst off overall than straight people, and even gays and lesbians. #health #mentalhealth #violence

Interesting interview with the author of a book on the science of invisibility.

"Gbur is the author of a new book from Yale University Press, Invisibility: The History and Science of How Not to Be Seen, covering the earliest discoveries in optical physics through to the present, along with how invisibility has been portrayed in science fiction (a longstanding passion for Gbur)"
