    I find this upsetting. I don't have anything new to say about it though. We all know what needs to be done already. And we know that we're going to be seeing the overarching slow-motion disaster ramp up for years to come.

    That sucks. In support of our fruit loving flyers, I have to post one of my favourite videos:

    Flying fox rave party.

    Hope they can rave again soon.
