Could I sell without infringing copyright?

I made this mug design just for fun but I really like it and now I want to sell the mugs. I just pulled the geese off the internet and I'm sure most of the individual drawings are protected through copyright. However, since I used it to make something new does that still apply? I would rather not infringe copyright or steal another artists income, and if that's the case I just wont sell these. Thanks for any advice.

Rent or sale?

Me and my husband built our 3 bedroom 2.5 bathroom house in 2025. My husband was replaced by AI at his last job and has hit some awful mental health challenges that are making it hard for him to work. But now that means we're paying for a $3011/m mortgage on my $1900/m income. We've had savings that kept us afloat but now we're getting to the point where we're wondering if we need a different living situation. We're very attached to this house, we did a lot of sweat equity when building and have done a lot to personalize our home since moving in (build ins, putting in a yard, etc). I would rather rent out the house until we get to a more stable place but I'm just not sure if renting or selling would be smarter. In this economy it feels like if we sell, we'll never be home owners again. Could I rent out the house at its mortgage cost ($3011/m)? Again, its a new build with a garage, potentially would rent out partially furnished, 6000 sq ft, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, in Logan, UT. Would someone pay that much for a rental? Would it be better to just sell and become forever renters? Advice is appreciated.

Question for Cellists with Large Hands

Hello, I've started teaching a new student who was very large hands and is having trouble finding his place on the fingerboard, especially with extensions. I myself have small hands and so do my other students. So does anyone have any tips on how to play with large hands? Specifically with extensions, do you pivot on your 2nd finger still or can you just stretch out to get the note? Thanks in advance!

For programming librarians...

I'm interested in seeing how many programs bigger libraries hold. The library I work at serves roughly 135,000 residents and the area is growing fast, we're also a college town so the number of non-permanent residents fluctuates. With a new director, we've been pushed to crank out tons of programs.

As of this post, we are currently hosting 36 recurring programs (usually recurring monthly or weekly), 27 one time events. As far as community partnerships, we had 54 just in the month of June. This doesn't include outreach events because those randomly pop up throughout the year for us, although off the top of my head I can think of 7 that we do annually. And new programs keep popping up every day!

For those of you who work in libraries with similar or larger populations, does this match up to how much programming you do?

Cello and Piano Lessons

I have some open spots if you are interested in learning the cello or piano! My name is Gracie and I teach out of my house in Logan and through zoom lessons.

So why me? I have a degree in music from Berklee Music School, I've played the cello for 15 years and the piano for 19, I can teach all ages and abilities, I have taught professionally in the past through music academies, private lessons, and beginner orchestras, plus my students are usually visited by my cute kitty (picture attached of course). I charge $20 for a half hour lesson, $30 for an hour. The first lesson is free as a trial lesson.

Feel free to message me if you are interested!

Legit or a scam?

Some one from Green Book publishing has reached out to me about publishing a book that I dont remember putting out on the internet anywhere (although its been a few years since I've thought about this book). They randomly reached out to me through text saying that they want to support my book. It feels suspicious, but I can only find a website when I google the name. Has anyone heard of them?
