Apple's New Bagel Emoji Is All Wrong + Drake's Jewishness + Our Brand New Membership Program

The Ish

In case you missed it, we launched Arq's new membership program and fundraising campaign yesterday! Woo!

You can read the original announcement here.

I want to keep giving you more of the Arq you love. I want to embark on new Arq adventures and fulfill the potential I know Arq has to create even more value and to reach more people.

I'm asking you to make a financial contribution, however big or small, so Arq can continue to grow in a way that aligns with what you want and need.

Ready to become an Arq member and/or make a one-time donation? Please do!

You'll get our deep gratitude, monthly shout outs on our various platforms, regular opportunities to talk to me and each other, and a members-only biannual report about Arq's future plans.

Have questions, suggestions, or feedback for me about this or anything else? Just reply to this email and I'll get back to you right away.

With so much love and gratitude,
Danya
Founder, Arq
