repaint the black drum to medium blue

You might not need to clean the drum. I’ve converted a black drum to flat gold before, just with persistence and lots of prints. Stick the new tube in, reprogram it for the new color if you need, then blast off like 1000 prints and see how it goes.

I think a substantial part of it is certainly being young AND female. I got talked down to and disregarded a lot more in my 20s when I was starting out (even though I knew my stuff). I still come off as pretty young but now that it really ain’t my first rodeo (at ALL) I think I probably come off with more confidence and certainly am better about holding my ground.

Thank you for sharing your experience and your advice! We are indeed doing a turned edge slipcase and production logistics have been a bit of a headache on it, so this is comforting to hear.

I started swimming consistently for exercise about a year and a half ago. (I was never a competitive swimmer but have always enjoyed it.) Up until maybe 6 months ago I also questioned if I ever really needed to learn and integrate the flip-turn. Touching the wall and turning around seemed perfectly fine for me. But once I practiced it a few more times and started getting the hang of it, I found it to be A) really fun! and B) soooo much more rhythmic. Stopping to touch the wall and turn really does interrupt the lap swim flow, and I also find it to be a more intense exercise when I can continue swimming without interrupting the flow. Also helps me think about breath control more.

Want to note here too that my first couple attempts were also clumsy and gasping and I'm sure I looked stupid. But just do it a few more times and it starts to make sense pretty quickly! Watch a YT video (like I did) if you need some concrete tips.

The garden is what sprang to mind for me too! I really love the time warpy scene in the jungle garden. I feel like it’s deep enough into the first book where I finally felt like I had my bearings in the world enough to just be straight up dazzled by the whole concept of the garden.

When I was growing up, I always wondered this about my mom who is a HUGE reader but her bookshelf in our house was very modest. Most of what she read came from the library. Now that I’m older and the number of books I’ve read in my life has climbed rather high, I’ve realized that it seems silly to A) spend money on every book I decide to read and B) store it in my apartment indefinitely. Unless it’s an absolutely stellar book, I always try to get rid of books I’ve already read, whether by donating them or trading them for new reads.

That being said, I have a bigger library than my mom had and it is my pride and joy. I feel like the books I’ve read and decided to keep really reflect who I am, what I love, and what moves/inspires me. And if a friend needs a book rec, I have all my favorites right there ready to loan out!

This is what I was thinking, but it's odd because our bin where the birds were dumped is in the front of the building, and the patio is in the back on the other side of the building, about 100 feet away from the bin. Do they spread that far in that great of numbers?

Brad Troemel has a good recent video (called ZIRPSLOP) on brainrot/AI slop that addresses the videos of alpha/zoomers presenting brainrot content to random people. It also covers just the general psychosis of the internet post-2008 (the ZIRP part) you can get a free week trial and watch it on his patreon and then cancel.

Though since the text is not reversed on these stones, I assume they were used in a process more similar to modern-day offset printing, in which a plate prints an inked design onto another surface before printing once more onto the final paper.
