Hello everyone,

It’s been such an intense week here in the US. I hope you all are staying safe and supporting your Black neighbors and friends. Let’s go.

Something that interested me this week

This past week I spoke at Jamstack Conf and gave a mini React Hooks workshop! It was a fun time, and I’m hoping to turn it into an online course soon.

It’s been such a scary week witnessing all that’s happening in cities around the US. If you are looking to donate to organizations to help Black Lives Matter, I discovered several through this Twitter thread and also this thread of petitions you can sign. I often feel useless in times like these, so all I can say is: my Black friends, neighbors, acquaintances, and those I haven’t met yet, I see you, I’m here for you, and I am so sorry that this system was not built for you. I sincerely hope that these protests actually drive change.

Joke

I got an email saying, “On Google Earth, we can read maps backwards!” and I thought to myself… that’s just spam.

That’s all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and stand up for what’s right.
