## What even is "community"?

What does it mean to be **_in_** community? What does it mean to **_care_** for community? For all the memes and mantras telling us that we **_need_** community, there is little to describe what it actually is or how to be a part of it. It’s one of those words that is so elementary and commonplace that we fail to realize that we actually have no idea what we’re talking about when we say it.
