Every Space Between is out now from Groundwood Books! Words by Naseem Hrab, and pictures by me! Publishers Weekly gave it a starred review, saying "Attentiveness underpins Hrab and Martz’s celebration of life’s countless liminal stages"

I am once again asking why the baseline grid measurements in InDesign are in the application settings and not the document properties.

It's Bernie Sanders. He's feeling prickly about InDesign.

And then they realized they were no longer tater tots… they were tater women.

In retrospect I should have guessed it’d be @katebeaton.bsky.social’s fantastic new book.

Strange! I don’t have anything like that turned on and I’m pretty tech savvy. All the puzzles look like this, and it’s frustratingly unusable not see the whole thing. If you know anyone on the app team, I’m dying for a solution.
