Instead of banning Apple's special iPhone charger plug, the EU would do more good for humanity AND the environment AND kitchen cupboards everywhere if they made a law to standardise the sizes of plastic food boxes and their lids

That was a great day out at the Camino Epping Forest 25km today! Everyone was friendly, I'm pleased I ran the whole way and only got lost twice. Am feeling a bit tired now though

Abusers and systems and structures work hand in hand.

Abusers would not be anywhere near as 'successful' in causing harm if systems weren't enabling them.

I fear this approach around the police and calls to the mentally unwell is going to see very unwell people arrested for their safety/so it's not deemed an entirely mental health job. It's happening already.
