It feels a little dystopian. On one end we have the most representation we’ve ever had on film, tv, media… and in the other, thousands of bills threaten our very existence. This is a reminder of our power. And that we have each other 💙✨ #letters4transkids

Today we celebrate World Mental Health Day. Mental health doesn't need to be experienced behind closed doors — it's important that we talk about it with loved ones, friends, and colleagues.

According to @Inc, 11.5 million workers quit their jobs in April, May, and June of this year. It's easy to feel helpless against attrition. Managers, here's how to prepare for the Great Resignation: buff.ly/3nvpibQ

We’re live! After 6 months of learning from customers and working on Kona, we’ve launched a 10X better Kona 2.0 on ProductHunt. This helps entire departments (not just single teams) build trust and turn Slack into a culture hub. Would love your support! producthunt.com/posts/kona-2…
