As Fast Company's CoCreate so aptly puts it, the Social Justice Kittens calendar brings together "the Internet's two favorites -- unearned outrage and cats." Created by designer and writer Sean Tejaratchi, the [12 month 2015 calendar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purrfect-advent-calendar) finally brings to life what was originally a fake posted on his blog. The concept is to combine pictures of [adorable kittens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mofusand) with "a monthly dosage of questionable outrage."

Social Justice Kittens contains oversensitive commentary like "Every day I face micro-aggressions and micro-invalidations from so-called allies." The calendar provides a tongue in cheek response to a group of articulate people active online who seem to relish being offended.

Tejaratchi is also known for his series of social media self-help books, [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/https-twitterviewer.net) presence and The Big Book of Online Unsolicited Bullshit.
