I think I need to put into my talk this line that keeps running through my head

So many leaders want people to trust them, which is exactly backwards

In organizations, positions are typically appointed through the hierarchy and authority of the organization. However, like trust, "leadership" is earned: slowly built and quickly lost.

Asking how to earn trust means admitting you have failed, and more importantly means committing to a change. If you don't uphold those changed behaviors, you will simply lose trust again and consequently fail as a leader no matter how the organization helps you fail upwards.

If you ever need a reminder how fucking dangerous Camilla hect is remember as a character with no necromancy or other special powers she took on a LYCTOR with centuries more experience than her basically solo and managed to hold her off for quite a while, not only surviving but walking away with all her limbs intact.

With only two knives and a grudge no less.

Ich habe vor Kurzem "The Locked Tomb" von Tasmyn Muir fertig gelesen, und muss sagen, ich bin begeistert. Drei Bücher mit einem unzuverlässigen Erzähler, der jeweils aus komplett unterschiedlichen Gründen unzuverlässig ist. Großartige queere Liebesgeschichte. Und ich liebe den Stil so sehr! #gideontheninth #harrowtheninth #alectotheninth

Sending this around again, in case any Locked Tomb fans haven't seen it yet.

Yep, I reeeeally like reading now. Spend like 4 hours devouring #GideonTheNinth what an amazing book wow, and I am just half finished its amazing I long for me, although some graphic desxriptuons are a bit much. I dediced not to read that one after 8 im the evening now  
Otherwise I am doing fine, met a new boss today called: Boring Uni lecture. But tbh I think it was just that one day and the futute will hold better lectures.(I hope)
Otherwise happy with progress :3 Still have this hunch to instictively grab my phone and idle with it, likr always. But I feel like it is reducing so thats nice :3
Also fuck I had like a full blown mental breakdown today and tbh in the past I would probably just have watched youtube and dissociated but now I just called my best friend and things are fine again???? Fuck yeah thats like such a big big win holy shit wow, very proud about that one :3

Also I seem to have inspired at least 2 people now to do similar things which is just, wow??? I didn't expect that one and it just feel sooo good and like I am defo doing something right :3
Also inspires me to keep posting this here, maybe I can inspire more towarda a less tech life :3

#GideonTheNinth translated into biblical Hebrew. The notes are pretty fun if you like etymology or ancient language fonts.

75% of the way through Harrow, and while I love Gideon, this book is indeed brilliant.

After I finish Nona I will need to re-read from the beginning.

brought to you by me watching Thunder Force last night which has a very Gideon main character, and also remembering just before bed that line when Gideon said that Harrow looked like “an angry stick” 😆
