A very sad anniversary today. Progress is being made but the cost is too high. ✊🏾

When Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all three charges surrounding his murder of George Floyd, the conversation found on Tumblr (and elsewhere online) reflected two major points:

This is not justice being served. There is no justice in the face of murder, and if there were, it certainly would not be found within the American carceral system. The verdict stemming from this trial will not stop the violence and oppression Black people face at the hands of an over-policed country.

“Black people don’t need reminders that Chauvin’s guilty verdict doesn’t mean the fight is over. It’s okay to celebrate small victories.”

These truths are not at odds with each other. They can, and will, co-exist.

Take a moment today to celebrate George Floyd and his beautiful family. Keep his little daughter in your mind and hearts. If you want to feel a bit of relief that at least one person was found guilty for their hateful, heinous crime—please do so. And then remember that it was just one person. Remember that if you are an ally and an accomplice, you must not stop learning. You must not stop fighting for real justice.

Accountability for police killings is rare:

Since 2005, 140 law enforcement officers have been arrested for on-duty manslaughter and murder. Only 8—5%—have been convicted.

And that doesn’t account for the 98% of police killings where there were no arrests for murder or manslaughter.

Black people are three times more likely to be killed by police

And then yesterday, roughly one hour after Nancy Pelosi thanked George Floyd for “sacrificing” his “life for justice,” police in Columbus, Ohio shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant.

That is not what justice looks like.

Rest in power, George Floyd.

Rest in power, Ma’Khia Bryant.

The Gif Set

The gif set is one of Tumblr’s most renowned native flora. Its essential orderly cellular structure, each gif divided from the other by a neat strip of white space, is unmistakable.

Prior to the emergence of the gif set, Tumblr users were restricted to one image per post. Hard to imagine now!

Once unbound, creativity reached an apex. Able to capture fleeting moments and showcase them in alignment, the linear strictures of digital video were broken down. Gif-makers built a craft out of beautifying and arranging their instances of choice.

This is a prime example of Tumblr’s unique and irreplaceable ecology. Where else can one access the nearly limitless possibilities a gif set provides?

Images in motion propagate widely without any limits in many many places, but only on Tumblr are they able to all be viewed at once, in full. This simultaneity-simulacrum, silent but evocative—I believe it to be a pillar of Tumblr’s continued survival.

Can’t wait!!
