I loved how this tells me useful things about traveling with Deutsche Bahn. I love even more that on a second layer you can find solid advice on dealing/ monitoring/observing distributed systems. "... the right response is not outrage but a better mental model." blog.hofstede.it/a-field-manu...

Ich freue mich ja schon sehr auf Söders Gesicht, wenn ein Grüner ab jetzt die Wiesn eröffnet. 😅 #München #DominikKrause

Morgen wollten wir zum Start unseres Hanser Taschenbuchs eine Party schmeißen. Als der Kulturstaatsminister die Verleihung des Deutschen Buchhandlungspreises absagte, haben wir den Charakter des Festes verändert & alle 118 Preisträger eingeladen, um sie zu feiern. Dies ist das neue Motto des Abends.

Wenn das Teilen deiner eigenen Interviews als Schmutzkampagne taugt, liegt das Problem möglicherweise nicht bei deinem politischen Gegner.

A reminder that there is a bloody brilliant adaptation of "The Dark is Rising", done by people who love the books, on the BBC. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." I met my reading goal of 40 books this year in November. I did wonder if I could read two Agatha Christie novels that month, but it was fabulous. No regrets. #BookSky 💙📚 #TheStoryGraph

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have

Regular reading is doing me good. Always cheerish Agatha Christie, and found a nice fantasy with kingfishers Nettle and Bone. Also finished another bike with poems - which I read in breaks during my volunteering gig.

For Jane. RIP.

August was a great reading month, all books were 4 stars or more. I really enjoyed how the reflective voice of Marlen Haushofers "Die Wand" resonates, even though it took ages to get through the book! #Storygraph #BookSky 📚💙

In July I started to track my pages read in a bit more detail, and just essentially read more overall (deleted Instagram from my phone 😉). Finally finished @annleckie.com 's "Ancillary Justice" which is just so so good. Mind-blowing, highly recommend.

Today is a great day! The first article I ever wrote has been published in a professional magazine. "Software #accessibility includes #gender diversity" can be read in the "Testing Experience" magazine. You can download it here: www.testingexperience.media (email address must be supplied) (1/2)

Only one book in June, a sequel, Caroline Wahl, Windstärke 17. Too much going on, hoping for a better reading month in July! #BookSky #Storygraph 💙📚

Two surprise reads - didn't quite enjoy "Yellowface" as much as reviews suggested, and enjoyed "22 Bahnen" more than I thought I would. Also a bit disrupted reading, as I've started to lend ebooks from my public library, so switched books whenever something got available 😜 #StoryGraph #Booksky 📚💙

The world needs more of this and less of most other things

I keep very much enjoying reading Posts on the @honeycomb.io Blog. The latest is a guide on debugging Kubernetes, nice foundational read: www.honeycomb.io/blog/kuberne...

Not as many books, not as many pages as in the previous months, but all very enjoyable. Marianne Bellottis book "Kill it with fire" about managing aging computer systems was an absolute highlight. 💙📚 #StoryGraph #AprilReading #BookSky

March felt like a slower reading month. Lots of changes happening to keep me occupied elsewhere. I was happy whenever I could squeeze in books. Again, Agatha Christie is such a staple for me, glad she wrote enough to keep me company for years to come! 📚💙 #StoryGraph #Booksky

"Luxury always comes at someone else's expense. One of the many advantages of civilization is that one doesn't have to generally see that, if one doesn't wish. You're free to enjoy its benefits without troubling your conscience." Lieutenant Skaaiat in Ann Leckie: Ancillary Justice, p 63.

Some stuff found decluttering my mum's house (she's moving): * Slowworms, long dead * Huge spiders, very much alive * Drawings from her school days (50s-60s) * Small soaps from about 30 different hotels * things my Dad used back when he was detonating stuff (legally, safe) * Hats, loads of them

“I don’t know anyone with Long Covid!” I promise you that you do. Long Covid is an invisible illness. You won’t know someone is impacted unless they choose to tell you. Many folks hide their disabilities because the world is NOT kind to disabled people. Be an ally. Be someone we can confide in

Wrap up of my February reads as provided by @thestorygraph.com . Again female voices rock. Highly recommend @mariki.bsky.social , an incredible writer tackling important topics 🙏📚💙 #booksky

complaining about "the far left" is such loser energy. oh no, not the people who want everyone to have human rights!!!!

Scheint so, als hätten eher ältere Männer auf dem Land Angst, nachts allein auf die Straße zu gehen?

Linke Haltungen gleichsetzen mit psychischer Erkrankung. Das ist nicht nur für einen möglichen Kanzler eine völlig disqualifizierende Aussage, das ist rechtsextreme Rhetorik, auf dem Rücken erkrankter Menschen. Er ist gefährlich - ohne Übertreibung. Bitter, wenn er doch Kanzler werden sollte.

Der Mann, von dem alle glauben, dass er Kanzler wird, hat ein Problem mit dem Demonstrationsrecht. Er hat ein Problem damit, dass Menschen von ihrem demokratischen Recht Gebrauch machen, gegen seine Politik zu demonstrieren. Dieser Mann soll uns demnächst gegen Putin und Trump verteidigen. Prost!

Seine Rhetorik drückt so viel Verachtung gegenüber großen Teilen der Bevölkerung aus, das ist erschreckend. Teile der Bevölkerung, die niemandem irgendwas tun - im Gegenteil. Das ist zutiefst spaltend.

Ein Kanzlerkandidat hat gefragt, wo die Demons (gegen Rechtsruck) waren, als Walter Lübcke ermordet worden war. Ein kurzer Faktencheck ergibt: auf der Straße.

Today is about reading, writing, and listening to music. The anger isn’t going away any time soon, so take care of yourself so you can keep fighting. Do something you love. Eat a cookie. Watch a movie. Listen to music you love. Wishing you good vibes amidst the chaos.

So if you ever wonder why women in tech are so exhausted, part of it is because we have to work with people who don’t want to consider our opinions about our own bodies when voting, when we really just need them to finish their QA tickets. 3/3

"And I tried to remember any case in the course of my reading where two women are represented as friends. [...]They are now and then mothers and daughters. But almost without exception they are shown in their relation to men." Virginia Woolf, "A Room of One's Own" (1929) #BechdelTest #Literature

January wrap up of books read 📚💙 All so bleak right now, but bikes are still a grounding and happy force in my life.

Since apparently being a nice person is illegal in the US now, it’s time to pull out my most popular blog post ever. It’s called “survival tips for women in tech”, but I’m told it works for all genders and in countless industries. patricia.no/2018/09/06/s...

Es gibt kein richtiges Leben im falschen.

Heute hat die Union mit den Stimmen der AfD einen Antrag durch den #Bundestag gebracht. Das ist ungeheuerlich und eine Zäsur für unser Land. Für uns ist klar: Es darf keine Zusammenarbeit mit Rechtsextremen im Deutschen Bundestag geben.
