@profsophieharman.bsky.social has been ahead of the curve on her analysis on this

There’s been some good analysis that it’s less fear of retribution and more interest in mutual (profi) gain. Probably a mix hold true.

I’ve learned over two decades how important balance and my network is: Keeping real friendships alive, and being active in broader groups and networks. So grateful to all people around me and who keep reaching out to talk ans brainstorm 🙏

Ah, well, that's the next Kafka book, "The Castle", with its theme of "relentless, yet unavailing, attempts to navigate the illogical rules and distant officials, becoming increasingly isolated as he confronts an impenetrable system" (and ending nowhere...) 😉

🤣 "Gregor, aren't you well?" is a direct quote spoken by Gregor Samsa's sister, Grete, in Franz Kafka's novella The Metamorphosis. This question marks the moment his family realizes something is seriously wrong, after Gregor awakens to find himself transformed into a giant insect.

Or his comms team :)
