I’ve been toying with this idea of a while now, then wrote a quick rough draft, saved it because it didn’t feel right posting in the middle of protests & looting, then ultimately decided that I wanted to give myself and others a respite from the non-stop footage of burning buildings, police thuggery, and sweeping protests. And it’s with that perspective in mind that I’ve published the first—of what I hope will be many—Twitter Personal Essays called “Cloud in Trousers.”
