I'm looking though all these stock illustrations (hundreds, for sure, but it feels like thousands) and one thing is for certain:

Able-bodied people CANNOT conceive of the existence of a wheelchair that doesn't have handles on it.

Or of a wheelchair user who is not actively having someone push them around.

JEEBUS.

I was so excited to use Atkinson Hyperlegible in my next project but it doesn't support all the glyphs I need! :(

(This is more me being upset with my project having funky glyphs than being upset with the font. It's got a huge glyph set already, that's a lot of work! It's not its fault that I need like 50 extra not-often-used glyphs!)

OMFG the printer that I'm required to work with to get this fucking banner made actually emailed me "Just have the design created with a bleed and that should be fine," when I asked for specs.

MY DUDES I DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT BANNER SIZES YOU OFFER, much less what you consider "a bleed" for an item this size.

Why does #Indesign let you open the Finder/Explorer window to easily add or remove scripts but make it a hassle to go searching around for the world's most obscure folder if we want to swap around #GREP XMLs?! Whhhyyyy?!
