"In a post-Roe world, your Zip code can affect the kind of maternal medical care you receive," writes illustrator @theLAJohnson in this comic for @thelilynews. (1/6)
ALT Narration on a Perspective comic by LA Johnson reads: “My sister and I miscarried one week apart from each other in September. But our experiences with the medical system post-Roe were strikingly different.” An illustration shows a closeup of a car’s side view mirror where a reflection of LA’s sister is shown. She is looking straight ahead at a sign in the distance that reads: “Welcome to Ohio.”

If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control

“Teaching in the pandemic” was one of my most favorite series at @NPR. Every week, @theLAJohnson told of the challenges teachers faced and did it with her inimitable art. And now, the series has won a Gracy - and I’m ecstatic. #gracieawards npr.org/series/978146765/com…

"The goal is to bring forth the parts you love most about yourself, getting to the essence of who you are, in terms of your style - whatever that means."

6/ At this point, only one thing is certain – borrowers eager to know (for sure) when they’re expected to start repaying their loans will have to wait a little longer.

Putin is at war with children. In Ukraine, where his missiles hit kindergartens and orphanages, and also in Russia. 7 y.o. David and Sofia, 9 y.o. Matvey, 11 y.o. Gosha and Liza spent this night behind bars in Moscow for their ‘NO TO WAR’ posters. This is how scared the man is.
