Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong: "Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. โPastorโ Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. Please donโt believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge. The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."

Found this in a file this morning, an owlbear birthday sketch from a while back.
Watercolor, you are the most playful medium!

A strange, snouty skull encased in resin turned out to be a new species of ancient, toothed bird. I'll tell you all about Gorgonavis in this week's newsletter!
This is false.
Jamal Harrison Bryant, a Megachurch pastor, has said the boycott is over. He is not leaders, plural. He and his church were not the ones to start the calls for boycott.
Nekima Levy Armstrong, who founded the Racial Justice Network, and other Minnesota civil rights activists were.
You may have heard by now that we did have a break-in at the tea house this morning. There are three major inconveniences we're dealing with because of this:
3.2) If we need to crowdfund a bit, I'll let y'all know. We've had a ton of offers on that front, so good to know the option exists for anything the city won't cover.
Also, we have a general donation fund if you wanna!

It's the first week of Daylight Saving Time. While I love it being light later, it has me DRAGGING in the morning, which makes this strip feel relevant.
Yes, Iโm religious. I believe in the Holy Trinity.

Please give if you can (and get cool books in exchange)

HEAR YE, HEAR YE. The mighty tome Hemlock & Silver by the redoubtable T Kingfisher is currently on sale for three of the dollars on Kindle and Kobo!
I suspect WotC may have overprinted on these, expecting a higher demand? At least I got my Stan Sakai lair, which I expect to be very happy with (been a fan of his work for a long time).
