I’m sure more will be said in the morning, but it wouldn’t be right if we capped the day without acknowledging this much-needed and long-overdue moment: Derek Chauvin has been found guilty of the murder of George Floyd. As you can tell by the look on his smug face above, Chauvin — like most Americans who have sadly seen way too many of the trials break the wrong way — clearly expected to walk. Thank f*cking God, he will not. Is there more work to be done so a verdict like this is no longer a miraculous event but a common occurrence? Absolutely.

Caragwapa loves post-apocalyptic speculative fiction, and Octavia Butler’s The Parable of the Sower hit all the right notes.
