There’s the unexpected dog with a penchant for howling, house alarm that won’t stop going off, and a papergirl with a grudge. The only problem? The weekend is shaping up to be an absolute disaster.

On the surface, it's the story of this war, the destruction of a civilization, and the ants' all-too-familiar desire to rebuild. ![]() Ant Colony follows the denizens of a black ant colony under attack from the nearby red ants. From its opening pages, Ant Colony immerses the reader in a world that is darkly existential, with false prophets, unjust wars, and corrupt police officers. With his debut Drawn & Quarterly title, Ant Colony, DeForge confirms his place as a mover-and-shaker in the world of graphic novels.

I’d never read Laura Ingalls Wilder, so I didn’t understand the nostalgia for Little House when people would talk about it. I see homeschoolers debating this all the time on Instagram: should they read it, should they skip over parts, should they talk about the larger context and implications with their kids? There’s a lot to consider. Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder is one of those books that shows up on many, many children’s must-read book lists and children’s reading challenges, and at the same time, its place on these lists is also challenged because of its racist content. ![]() Emily climbs book5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() The $2.5 billion SPDR S&P Regional Banking exchange-traded fund closed at the lowest since October 2020.
