When taking a screenshot with CMD + shift + 4, hold down control while dragging the crosshairs to select a section of screen to capture.
Now, instead of saving to your default screenshot location, it will just copy it to your clipboard. You can now just paste the image into your message with no cleanup necessary.
TL;DR
Hold down control when taking a screenshot to copy it to the clipboard.
