That last line is something I should recite daily: "Banking on togetherness is a sure fire way to avoid numbing ourselves until we accidentally become cogs."

Karmela, your writing and reporting on physics continues to be so good, so valuable. As I have said before, I have learned a lot. A lot!

Unions… my aunties who were school teachers (and helped raise me) were activists in the organising of the teachers union in the town where I was born, Elizabeth NJ. And so I was raised with a strong pro-labor commitment. Writers absolutely need to organise.

I so so appreciate your thoughts on this. Clearly we are thinking through and experiencing such similar things. Solidarity.
