What a wonderful and wonderfully timed piece this is! I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling grateful because I needed this right now. And you've approached the subject of kindness from a direction I'd never thought of and really given me a solid feeling for how much more necessary it is for all of us than I'd even realized. Thank you for this!

тЭдя╕П My pleasure, and I'm delighted if it's helped at all...
I really feel like we need to nerd out sometime, maybe in a crossover newsletter thingy-wotsit-something [details forthcoming], about hopeful or hopepunk-y visions of the future involving cooperation and kindness and mutual respect in all things, including the way we share the land we live on.
Honestly, this would be very timely. In the last two days I have had THREE longform interactions (one in person and two in comment threads online) that made me realize how deeply many if not most people believe that a different way of structuring things isn't possible. It's really interesting as well as frustrating. I think a big part is that most people just aren't seeing what's out there, whether it's hopepunk science fiction like Becky Chambers, or the kinds of localized nitty gritty work that gets talked about on, say, the Frontiers of Communing podcast. Maybe to feel a sense of possibility, more people need to know what's possible.
