"You're a very bad man!" "Oh, no, my dear. I'm a very good man. I'm just a very bad wizard."

Dorothy and the Wizard in The Wizard of Oz film, 1939

⠀⠀⠀❛ ⠀You aren't human.⠀❜ ⠀⠀A ⠀simple statement of fact; no outright malice, merely a note of intrigue. After a century on the Surface, this place almost feels like humans are oozing out of its pores— it makes seeing something more humanoid than human that much more interesting. In her world, that could only mean one of two outcomes— but here...

⠀⠀⠀❛ ⠀I don't intend to be rude— but it saves time to be direct, don't you think ? Neither of us are human... so what are you, exactly ?⠀❜ ⠀

"Sounds like a productive weekend if nothing else." With a little luck, the distraction on something a bit brighter like holiday shopping would at least temporarily lift the other's spirits. There was no denying that Priya cared for the community here in her own way, even if she distanced herself from it every now and then. "I should follow suit, the holidays always manage to somehow creep up on me each year. I've lost track of how many times I've left it to the last minute." A soft laugh fell from her lips. Neither her nor her aunts really celebrated Christmas, but they still took to the gift giving aspect after Priya moved in since it was something she used to do with her parents.

"Who knows if I'll actually get around to it this weekend, though." Shopping wouldn't be as distracting as she wanted it to be. "I have to work for part of the weekend so I'm not sure my plans will be that much more exciting either." She hoped for some sort of rush during her shift to at least make the time fly by faster. "Aside from that," her eyes drifted towards the ceiling as she tried to think of how to have a slightly interesting weekend, "I might spend sometime at RollerBlaze, see what kind of fun there is to be had there. If all else fails, I might kill some time at Breaking Glass. I'm sure someone is bound to do something ridiculous there at some point over the weekend."

Dorothy appreciated the understanding; it was a hard time for more than just her in Cardinal Hill, she understood that, and while she would never have wished it upon anyone else, the shared experience did provide a certain amount of ease for Dorothy as she suspected it would make those around her more understanding and less demanding. It wasn't that those in her life had necessarily been demanding when she had experienced her previous loss, but there undoubtedly had been times where Dorothy thought that their good intentions - such as wanting to care for her - became too much. Loss was such a tricky thing to navigate, as Dorothy was reminded of by these recent events.

Pondering Priya's question was a nice distraction, even while Dorothy still couldn't rid herself of the weight pressing against her chest. "I was actually thinking of starting my Christmas shopping," she told her. "I feel like my list of who to buy presents for grows each and every year, so I want to get ahead of myself just a little bit." Dorothy prided herself in really knowing her loved ones, and so she always liked to put in a lot of effort when it came to gift giving. "That's the extent of my plans, though," she continued, meaning that she hadn't actually formally organised anything - as per Dorothy's usual style. "Do you have anything more exciting in store?" She pondered.

"Six makes a Fix!" "Sixers make the Fixers!" "... we'll work on that."

Say hello to the severely understaffed bunches of Branch F - unguaranteed to assist the company's fixing/fixer needs!

The Time Traveller, or Time Traveller or Traveller if you're so in a rush, is designated Sinner 01-F AND the branch manager. No one's quite sure what their deal is with their T Corp getup, but they are a valuable asset when things go south and is quite the brilliant mind. Nobody knows their name, not even themself.

Winston Smith is designated Sinner 02-F, usually the one in charge of keeping records and documentations. Cautious and barely composed - he makes sure nobody tries to stab one another, to much failures.

Dorothy Parker is designated Sinner 03-F, mostly here to make things "lively" - which does involve copious amount of food and alcohol - with the fact that she's easily bored. As deadpan as she looks, she will ramble one's ears off on multiple occasions and judge anyone for... mostly everything and anything.

John Yossarian is designated Sinner 04-F, gets into all sorts of shenanigans and incomprehensible antics. Goes out his way to make excuses to not go on missions, failing almost every time. Acts as if everyone was out to kill him. (Probably true.)

Douglas Quail is designated Sinner 05-F, thankfully a rather normal one compared to everyone else. He's genuinely excited at the prospects of working for Limbus Company it almost seemed a bit strange. Her special interest is Mars and is not subtle over her obsession.

JS/07 M 378, JS or "Jayes" as the others call him, is designated Sinner 06-F, ironically. He's relatively new to the company. Nobody knows his actual name, or if he even had one - and frankly JS insisted it was never important. That aside, JS is obedient and hard-working to a fault. Rarely had he ever held his own opinions.

Did you guessed the literary sources correctly? I'm sure you did for some of them! :] In order:

The Time Machine - H. G. Wells

1984 - George Orwell

But The One on The Right - Dorothy Parker (Short story)

Catch-22 - Joseph Heller

We Can Remember It for You Wholesale - Philip K. Dick (Short story)

The Unknown Citizen - W. H. Auden (Poem)

Their company outfit and full infos will come in due time :] For now, I'm really happy with these.

The women who laid the foundation of tech

EDIT: I noticed that this post ended up being reblogged by terfs. If you're transphobic this post is not for you to reblog. I want to celebrate everyone who is not a cis man in this industry, including trans women and nonbinary people in tech, and it was my mistake to only include cis women in this post when there are so many trans women and nonbinary people who have done great things in tech as well. Trans women are women and just as important.

Here you can read about trans ppl in tech, and please do:

https://abcnews.go.com/Business/transgender-tech-visibility-obstacles-remain/story?id=76374628

The morning of women's day i attended a super inspiring seminar about being a woman in tech at a large tech company in my city, and now I'm inspired to share what I learned with all of you!

I didn't have time to finish this post on women's day, but it's not too late to post now: every day is a day to celebrate women!

Women actually laid the foundation for a lot of the tech industry.

For example, the first computer, ENIAC, was programmed completely by women! While men were the behind the scenes engineers, it was women who did all the actual programming of ENIAC.

The women who made up the team responsible for programming it were called Jean Bartik, Kay McNulty, Betty Holberton, Marlyn Wescoff, Frances V. Spence and Ruth Teitelbaum.

I think one woman who is finally getting her overdue recognition is Ada Lovelace. She was a mathematician (also often referred to as the first programmer) who created the first algorithm in 1842, which wasn't recognized until 1953! However, since none of her machines were ever completed it was never tested in practice during her time.

She has since been celebrated by giants such as google, and she has given name to a programming language (Ada). She was also the first person to write about what is today known as AI. Back when she was practicing, computers were simply thought of as calculators. But she had an idea that if computers can understand numbers, then that can be translated to letters, and in turn that can lead to computers being able to handle words, and eventually even write, draw and create music.

Hedy Lamarr was a famous Hollywood actress in the 40's, but she was also an inventor who laid ground for what we use today for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS services.

During WW2 she wanted to contribute positviely to the military efforts against the Nazis, and she tried to figure out how to radio control torpedoes. In 1942 she patented her technology "Secret Communications System", also known as frequency hopping, which laid the foundation for the technology we use today for Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth. It wasn't until 1962 that it was first used for its intended purpose, during the cuban missile crisis.

Grace Hopper invented the first compiler, called A-0, in 1955, and was also part of the Univac team, which was the company also responsible for building ENIAC. She also initiated work on the COBOL programming language.

She was also the one to coin the term "bug" in 1947. Computers back then had lights to visualize their working process (which was also a womans idea to implement btw) and bugs would be attracted to the lights, but usually that was no issue - until a bug made its way into a tube which caused the computer to stop working. Hopper taped the bug to a piece of paper and logged what caused the crash - a bug.

Dorothy Vaughan (left), alongside colleagues such as Katherine Johnson (middle) and Mary Jackson (right), was a mathematician at NASA (called NACA when she started) who worked on the orbit for the first ever manned spaceflight and later also on Apollo 11 that would take humanity to the moon!

When Vaughan started at what was then called NACA, segregation was still prevalent in the US and she was not allowed in the same areas in the office as her white colleagues. Another department was formed for the black staff, and when the director of said department unexpectedly died, she was appointed as the new director and thus became the first ever black woman at that position at NACA/NASA. In 1958 when NACA becomes NASA segregation is forbidden, and that is when Vaughan and her colleagues Johnson and Jackson started working on programming the orbit and later also Apollo 11.

Continuing on the same track of NASA and space, Margaret Hamilton was the Apollo project's first actual programmer. Hamilton became the director of software engineering at NASA in 1965, and she was also the person to first coin the term !

In the image above, she stands next to all the handwritten code that was used to send humanity to the moon. During the early stages of the project when she would speak of "sofware engineering", software development was not taken as seriously as other forms of engineering, and it wasn't regarded as a science, either. She wanted to legitimize software development as an engineering discipline, and overtime the term "software engineering" gained the same respect as any other technical discipline.

And lastly, if you're a woman in STEM, I want to highlight and celebrate you! Being a woman in a male dominated industry is not easy, we often suffer from sterotype threat and are not seen as our own individuals, but rather "the woman" in a room full of men. But just as these women, I'm sure you will achieve greatness!!

Both of them did never met each other until Eden. Marian felt minor distrust for this one but it's better than nothing meeting a fellow Nikke from a desolated world where they belong. What does Dorothy mean by 'i do know you'? Perhaps, no clue and no idea all along.

Did she heard about 'Modernia'? Same as 'no clue and no idea all along'. Oh, she wants to know her? Nothing wrong with that. Wished Commander taught her not to talk to strangers.

"Marian..." That was it. A very simple introduction as formalities aren't taught on her. "I'm... just looking for Commander or anyone."

⠀⠀⠀❛ ⠀I don't believe we've met,⠀ ❜ ⠀⠀DOROTHY ⠀says with all the ease of someone perfectly well-adjusted to their situation (which she isn't),  ⠀❛ ⠀but if my hunch is accurate, I do know of you.⠀ ❜ ⠀It was easy enough to recognize a Nikke when you were a Nikke. As for the rest... Well, it hadn't been a very detailed description, but she'd heard from a reliable source of the Commander's progress before he even set foot into Eden. Progress as it pertained to a certain Heretic, anyway...

⠀⠀⠀❛ ⠀That puts you at a slight disadvantage. My name is Dorothy... and I'm curious to know what name you go by now.⠀ ❜ ⠀
