Community is here for each other.

We shared this in Slack and we'd like to open our newsletter with it too: We want to acknowledge that it's an especially tough time for a lot of people whom we are close to, connected with, or generally share a sense of agape with and for. If you need or would like to share thoughts, comments, or requests for a listening ear or reading eye, you're welcome to send any of us Uncommon hosts a message. 

Take care of yourselves, and of each other. If there's a way we can help you do that, please ask. 

With great affection, 
Your Uncommon Team
📚Tomorrow: Author Q&A with Richard Millington

Register for the live event tomorrow, Wednesday, March 2, from 9 am - 10 am PST or to simply get the recording in your inbox to watch at your leisure, preferably with popcorn.

Uncommon Conversations 
Community leader and manager, Reddit

"True communities are when people have [a] common interest, situation, mission. They come together, but they have a common effort that they're pushing towards and they get there by interacting with each other."
Community strategist, researcher, and author

"In our communities, we should build from a place of deep service. So any metric that you're using should tell you how well you are serving people."

Balloon dog's back with a mystery link that gives you a quick glimpse into what Roomies discuss on the daily. This time, the conversation revolves around a dense, flaky, sweet, airy, and cakey debate about which kind rules them all.
