And it all came back. I knew those words, that melody, and I flipped back to what I was reading for my nephew's bar mitzvah and finally worked it out. Somewhere there was a therapist egging on the virtual hug I was giving my inner bat mitzvah girl.

âItâs obvious, at least to me, that âcontrolâ belongs in the hands of the person who is pregnant,â writes Irin Carmon, âbut what that means in practice in reproduction is complicated.â As the women in "Unbearable" learn, their own attempts to exert control burn up in the face of our current legal and medical reality. People with the capacity for pregnancy are already being controlled by the state.

Dedicated to every "vild chaya"/wild animal surviving and thriving.
From the latest issue of Lilith, a true-life comic by Miriam Libicki about how "sisters" (Rose Lipszyc and her aunt, RÃģza Finkielsztajn) survived the Holocaust. "Two Roses: A Story of Deception and Determination in Nazi Germany" (@utpress, 2026), from which the comic is excerpted, tells the true story of how these two courageous women defied the odds to survive.
The book is supported by the @survivorvisualnarratives, which uses relational storytelling to gather genocide and mass atrocity testimonies across five research clusters (Holocaust; former Yugoslavia; Iraq; Rwanda; Syria; and Turtle Island).
The artist-survivor collaborations are built on mutual trust, respect, and a commitment to shared authority. Gently shifting away from a trauma paradigm that engages survivor memory as a site of irreparable psychic wounds, their project creates space for healing, reciprocity, and care.
