It turns out the best way to reset after five months of intense campaigning is to stay with friends, hang out with kittens and eat cake. Helped that the sun came out.

A question. What is the best example you’ve seen where the tension between personal needs and the betterment of society has actually come to some positive conclusion? Please send useful as well as crazy examples.

Some classic food snobbery on Radio 4 this morning. Sniggering about people eating tinned foods. To be expected when you know the stats on the kinds of people working at the BBC.

My experience of education was pretty negative. A few years ago I started making a podcast series for @divideclass.bsky.social to try and understand why school can be transformative for some and very different for others. Here’s the trailer. overcast.fm/+AA_eVK-mgMI
