We need to treat social media as humanity's demented id - which is pretty much what it is - and stop feeling like everything on here is a thought out policy position that requires a response. Everyone on the internet is basically mad & drunk & has a real job/family somewhere they're neglecting.

It’s heartwarming to see year 1 of the breeding waders EIP having positive results with the release of 9 & a further 17 planned for the coming weeks.

There are times when you just have to stop.
Step outside of yourself and take a look back in.
