Caroline Keegan @ckeegan.bsky.social · 12/02/2025When I originally watched “Don’t Look Up” I found the dark humor deeply depressing. Lately I’ve been itching for a rewatch and thinking about the ending as uplifting and aspirational. Not sure what that says about my current mental health. 010
Caroline Keegan @ckeegan.bsky.social · 07/02/2025as we dismantle social science & humanities and promote career paths and STEM, will only privileged people get to be thinkers?

Caroline Keegan @ckeegan.bsky.social · 31/01/2025It is a good time to reflect on the challenges air traffic controllers face and the time Reagan fired 11,000 for striking for better conditions. As with Boeing’s plane issues, it seems like better labor relations and staffing could have prevented last night’s tragedy www.npr.org/2021/08/05/1...npr.orgLooking Back On When President Reagan Fired The Air Traffic ControllersThursday marks 40 years since former President Ronald Reagan fired more than 11,000 striking air traffic controllers.
