So, here’s one of the actual reasons why we are so excited to work with HIP by SubLyme: Emme. The entire team has been a dream, but Emme’s insights, tenacity and humor have been a blast - especially when challenged have occurred (looking at you Meta for Business!! 👀). Plus the whole team brings integrity to a real non-AI driven product that is actually designed to support small businesses. Win-win-win.

Human Integrated Payments-HIP by subLyme-is built on a simple promise: real people, real support, low fees, and high reliability, with 95+ years of combined industry experience helping you accept payments without bots, payment holds, or complex pricing.

Maia guest authored this week's CuriosityBased newsletter on building community. It's worth a read and at the heart of our work.

What do you do when you move somewhere new and realize you have to rebuild everything — your routines, your people, your sense of place?

CuriosityBased's Maia Segura Segura recently returned to Minnesota after 30 years away, and found herself feeling more unsettled than expected. Starting over socially, even in a "home" city, is no small thing.

So she and her husband got to work — looking for volunteer opportunities, co-hosting a neighborhood holiday party, cueing up local events to attend like Porch Fest, where live bands play from private porches and talking to strangers suddenly feels completely natural. 🎶🏡

In just a few months, they're feeling more connected — and healthier for it.

The Centers for Disease Control backs this up: strong community bonds genuinely improve physical and mental health.

You don't have to start big. Invite someone to lunch. Join a choir. Take your dog to the park.

What's one thing that helped you feel at home somewhere new? 👇

We recently made a huge move from our beloved Vermont to exhilarating Minneapolis and it's been a LOT. Amid all of the moving parts and changes, we completed a brand new brand identity and new website for InThreads International. This is a new venture for our great friend and former colleague, John Mitchell who has built a career as one of the most brilliant and straight up folks in the performance textile industry. Check out his new site and let us know what you think! https://inthreadsintl.com/
