We have a lot of cool stuff coming up, which I look forward to sharing with you!

@hbons would be nice to have GNOME emoji font instead of google one, also I think there was some design sketches for GNOME emojis on GNOME Gitlab...

We don't talk enough about the taxonomic class wealth divide. Of the 3,428 billlionaires in the world, 100% of them are mammals. Not a SINGLE reptile billionaire. Disgusting.
