For those at the back who still need to hear it... Open sandwiches are not a thing. If you're only serving 1 slice of bread, it's "XXX on bread/toast". Open sandwiches are an oxymoron and if you continue to serve them, then you're one too. This is the hill I will die on.

Morning my lovelies, how are you today? Wanted to check in and see how you’re getting on with the massive juggling act that is ‘life’ right now??

So I’ve written something… Is it a blog post? An open letter? A love letter? To be honest I don’t know. What I do know is that we’ve built something really special here together, and I want to make sure we protect one of the kindest corners of the internet I’ve ever found! x

Hey team, it’s Jamie here. I’ve written down some thoughts on what I think is unique about this community, and why it’s important for us all to hold on to what makes it so special. If you have a couple of mins to read, I’d really appreciate it! ->
