Feedback welcome! Here's the TL;DR list

Listen more to more Black people
Post less – and think before you post
Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it
Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects

Point 2 is better explained in the article. I don't take this as discrimination, more that while I will always aim to empathise and understand as much as I can about the black experience and be an ally, it's something I will never have direct experience of, so maybe there are some conversations that I don't need to muscle in on.
