Everyone reading this undoubtedly has scores of interactions each week with people who don't understand what's going on and therefore—intentionally or not—make you feel like you're overreacting or losing the plot.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.
The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.
What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

Antarctic Tern (Sterna vittata) in Grytviken Harbour. We also saw an Arctic Tern here. It really stood out because it was the only tern in winter plumage, while all the Antarctics were in breeding plumage like this one. #BirdingSouthGeorgia #terns #birds #birding
