darcyswickham.bsky.social @darcyswickham.bsky.social · 15hTeaching really does bring this home. I remember watching a bunch of 5 year olds suffer through an assembly for Remembrance Day. It’s just so outside their existence. People exist in the moment. What has passed is gone and memories of loved ones exist half a generation at best. Everything is dust. 170

darcyswickham.bsky.social @darcyswickham.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The one thing we can all be proud of is the fact successive governments have unfailingly supported Ukraine in this war. However, as articulated by Stephen, I don’t think it’s known how Putin despises us or how concentrated the efforts are to weaken and discredit our leadership. 071

darcyswickham.bsky.social @darcyswickham.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The salivating over returning to poverty management in the event of hyper inflation has been, oddly and quite blatantly distasteful. Some of it has been vindictive. A weird amount is fetishising Pol Pot policies. 020

People use services that work well. Either make them and keep them working well, or people will choose the car or whatever else is going 2265

darcyswickham.bsky.social @darcyswickham.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I’m biased as I have one and habe always been at my best when helping people learn, but kids are just great. They’re hard work and sometimes they screw up. But it’s ridiculously nice making them smile and having more of them than adults seems to produce the better societies. 030
