Target’s stock plummeted by ~ $27.27 per share by the end of February, erasing about $12.4 billion in market value.

The drop came on Feb. 28, the designated economic blackout day, and coincided with mounting backlash over the retailer’s decision to abandon its DEI commitments.

I didn't know Clarice Lispector wrote children's stories! Love that they're "less linear, more unusual" than traditional children’s lit because of course they are. AND about the intimate lives of animals? 🖤 www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...
NYRB to Release Clarice Lispector’s Children’s Stories as Picture Books

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."

She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.
