Finally found an English version of “Mirror Story”, a powerful and haunting short story about the consequences of #abortion bans by Austrian poet Ilse Aichinger.

Remarkably, time is completely reversed here: A woman raises from her deathbed, revisits her fatal illegal abortion, grows estranged from her boyfriend, turns into a child again and eventually gets born.

This should be required reading in every state with an #AbortionPillBan.

#TagdesWaldes meets #WorldPoetryDay:

die stille und das trübe kellerlicht
des walds am nachmittag. und keine bären,
auch wenn dort vorn die gelben tatzenspuren der blätter leuchten, die der ahorn legt.

[aus "waldstück" von Jan Wagner]

@matthew_d_green This! So much! 💯

Beautiful example of how “avant-garde” and “mainstream” comics constantly cross-pollinate:

#Marvel’s #Wiccan walking over his own comic’s pages just as Julius Corentin Aquefaques did 20 years before.

Right: From “Young Avengers” by @kierongillen and Jamie McKelvie (2013)

@matt
Definitely c for clarity.

There's also d for a double tail going both ways, but I'm not sure that would fit your style.

Omg put this on my grave stone
