Cruelty sucks.

It’s pervasive in our culture and I’m over it. Cruelty blows and the level of cruelty blatantly on display in the US right now is making me pissed more than ever.

Cruelty against immigrants.
Cruelty against trans people.
Cruelty against poor people.
Cruelty against Black and brown people.

What a f*cking tired game that's played out over and over again by people who are set on dominating others.

You know what doesn’t suck? Unreasonable kindness.


It's time for a new game where we infuse Unreasonable Kindness into this world. It's not random acts of kindness and it's not a cutesy naive 'can't we all just get along?'.

Unreasonable kindness is subversive. It interrupts the fear, disconnection, and loneliness that convinces us we're separate and out to get each other.

It restores faith in humanity.
It breaks the false narrative that no one cares and we're out here doing life alone.
It interrupts default cruelty.

It’s so easy to find cruelty and hate around us and get crushed by it. But you know a secret. The subversive joy of unreasonable kindness.

It’s unexpected.
It’s unearned.
It makes no sense.
It’s completely unreasonable.

Welcome to the Secret Society of Unreasonable Kindness.

 
 

The kind of kindness that surfaces our humanity.
The kind of kindness that breaks the false narrative that we’re out here doing it alone.
The kind of kindness that interrupts default cruelty and systems of domination.

If you want to be up to that kind of kindness…
