What art can do (or can’t); What protests do (or don’t)

🧵/3: observers

Personally? As a sometimes introvert, protests are NOT in my comfort zone. Not usually very big on crowds, and chanting in unison ain’t my jam. And do they really work for anything?

But.

I still feel the need to stand and be counted. (Even if it meant being across the river from the Trump Tower FAR too many times from 2016 to 2020)
