Twitter & Me
An Origin Story
My new essay over at The American Mind is my thank you to Elon Musk, but I thought I’d tell the full story of my Twitter evolution here.
Not terribly long ago I was a mild-mannered reactionary corporate creative without a Twitter account. Twitter? Who had time to post? I liked reading news and websites and blogs, but I’d spent most of my married life nursing, holding, napping, feeding, bathing, and otherwise hanging out with very young children.
One day I emerged from the laundry room and noticed that for the first time, all the children were out of diapers. They had all stopped trying to constantly fling themselves off tall furniture and into traffic and off swings sets and somehow become mostly civilized. I was ready to rejoin the world.
I enrolled the youngest in Pre-K, dusted off my laptop, and started figuring out what I’d been missing.
