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. “Pastor” 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 don’t 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."

As a fellow diverticulitis sufferer, I totally sympathize! I can only imagine the pain that double-team would cause. Hoping the cramps disperse soon!

I would absolutely buy and read this book!

If humans had to use litterboxes I expect that would be similarly revelatory.

Just sent you a little something; not much, but wishing you good luck and speedy healing!

Graphic for America's Most Gothic, with gold filigree edges and a moody, haunted house background, with Publisher's Weekly review text: "A spine-tingling investigation of ghostly mayhem and gory deeds. It's a satisfying combination of well-sourced fact-checking, thoughtful literary analysis, and creepy chills." From the authors of A HAUNTED HISTORY OF INVISIBLE WOMEN comes AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC: HAUNTED HISTORY STRANGER THAN FICTION by Leanna Renee Hieber and Andrea Janes. The book cover features a teal background with a central haunted house (typical Gothic, mansard roof, eerily lit interior, surrounded by encroaching mist and overgrowing forest.) The text is in white script and the subtitle in a rich goldenrod yellow that mirrors the filigree detailing and quatrefoil corner pieces of gothic detailing around the edges.

SALE! I dislike the 'Zon but I *do* want folks to buy this book, co-authored w/ Andrea Janes of @boroughsofthedead.bsky.social! Our heartfelt take on U.S. & Canadian ghost lore meeting Gothic lit, AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC, is a Kindle Deal of the Day!
