  1. “Maybe that’s why I tend to equate physical beauty with qualities with which it has absolutely nothing to do. I see a pretty mouth or a moody pair of eyes and imagine all sorts of deep affinities, private kinships. Never mind that half a dozen jerks are clustered round the same person, just because they’ve been duped by the same pair of eyes.” — *[Francis] “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt*

  6. "Das habe ich noch nie vorher versucht,
    also bin ich völlig sicher,
    dass ich es schaffe."

  7. Something that I find really psychologically difficult - especially while trying to find a job - is trying so hard to find my place in tech and needing to feel like I belong, and then at the same time feeling personally attacked by many on "social media" who make sweeping comments about "people in tech".

    I know "they don't mean me", right? But even just reading it, because I identify as a Tech Worker, makes me feel like I am morally reprehensible to people.

    But even worse, it makes me discouraged from finding tech work.

    There are a lot of good, ethical, and supportive people in tech. Maybe in the minority. Let's celebrate THEM and don't let the assholes upstage us by giving them any stage time at all.

    Celebrate the good in technology work. Show gratitude for those who help others. Ignore the toxicity, let it fade into a barely noticeable background noise.
