I listened to Sarah Wynn-William's "Careless People" on a very long drive back and forth to a Lacross tourney over spring break.

Damn.

I really wanted not to like the book and to pick her case against Meta apart.

It's damning.

Highly recommended. And, screw Meta.

Hi Community Folks!

I've been running the Online Community Unconference in since 2006.

I'm pleased to say that we are back from a 12 (yikes) year gap to reconvene both community AND community-skilled leaders for a day of open space in SF on Jan 8.

Looking forward to the future of “community” practice - how might we collectively move on to a more interesting and inclusive place? billjohnston.io/2023/10/04/r...

We are awash in rich, frothy, creamy AI hype.

For those of us who are community and community-skilled leaders, let's come together to cut through the hype.
