These subtle feel-good nudges from slack while you pull down to search are such a nice touch🫶 Whoever thought of this, great job!

I’ll be at Google I/O this week with @kierse! I’ll bring Slack stickers and a pair of Slack socks to give away. Will you be there? #GoogleIO

Love this small, yet super inclusive iteration from @SlackHQ When people react with the same emoji but different skin tones, it groups them and shows one count

“Wow. Cops killed a black man. Look at this video, he was begging for his life and they were laughing." "That's terrible. But fortunately, they can be prosecuted for murder. "Oh, my. You're new to America, aren't you? The prosecutor will decline to indict." "What? Why?"

I think it’s important for us as allies to start educating ourselves without the expectation of having to be spoon-fed this information while our black friends grieve, so here’s a thread for allyship learning that I’ve found in several FB groups and Twitter 👇
