Note: This post contains spoilers for Civil Blood‘s ending. Civil Blood: The Vampire Rights Case That Changed a Nation And yet here the words stay, suggesting bloodshed is not only part of legal proceedings but somehow can give them a blessing.” Aidan Lawrence echoed those words when he detonated a vest filled with fishing weights and Semtex in the Supreme Court. A woman with a spear, a helmet, and an unbound breast is trampling a man beneath her, with Latin words meaning ‘thus ever to tyrants.’ John Wilkes Booth said that phrase when he pulled the trigger. “Behind the judge’s bench stands an American flag, a Virginian flag and, on the wall, the state seal.

In case you somehow navigated here without hearing Civil Blood‘s pitch, I usually sum up the story as “the class-action vampire rights trial to determine who gets to be called human, as told by the people assigned to kill its plaintiff.” There’s a bat virus in it, but it’s a lyssavirus rather than a coronavirus, so my application to be the next prescient prophet is firmly rejected.

And it’s made me think about how little and how much I can do for others without leaving the house. Through this all, movies, video games, and books have been a lifeline for my family. I was going to write some stuff about how you should glove up, wash your hands often, and stay informed, but if I’ve learned anything from the quarantine, it’s that there are times when your brain wants to take a break. We’ve made sure to take them out in the sun once a day for a little running around, and Sunday we packaged up some meals to give to a food bank. The kids are in contact with their schools online, and we’ve got a bunch of educational workbooks picked up from Office Depot. We’ve got a little routine down: I take the kids in the morning so my wife can do her work from home, and in the afternoon I search for a day job. By the time I promote this post and you see it, it’s probably #8.
When I posted this on the 19th, it was day #3 of my county sheltering in place.
