I’ve stepped away from other social media and decided to give this space a try. Already feels so much better here, so many like-minded people.
Please be kind, let’s respect each other, and get along.

I personally don't tell people who have been fighting their hearts out daily for weeks not to celebrate wins of any size. I certainly don't do that when I've been nowhere near the place where the fight has been happening and have done little more than make some donations from miles away.
