"Life is hard when you don’t know who you are. It’s harder when you don’t know *what* you are. ... I was lost for years. Searching while hiding. ... I won’t hide anymore. I will live the life I choose." -- Bo Dennis, "Lost Girl"

Guilt is Catching
From the British Psychological Society's Research Digest:
Guilt is catching
Shaking hands with a cheat or thief, or merely sitting in a chair they used, is likely to make you experience feelings of guilt. That's according to a new study, the first to demonstrate "moral transfer" between people.Read more:

The Nocebo Effect: Negative Thoughts Can Harm Your Health
From Dr. Lissa Rankin's "Owning Pink" blog at the Psychology Today website, something I've told many people who JUST WOULD NOT BELIEVE ME for whatever reason(s) (personally, I think stubbornness is the primary culprit in two or three of these cases):
The Nocebo Effect: Negative Thoughts Can Harm Your Health
I do hope this will wake some people up to the undesirable effects of constantly dwelling on their miseries, and the benefits of optimism.

Slave Morality and Noble Morality Contrasted -- Anxiety Culture
Several years ago, someone showed me a webpage, and directed my attention to the table at the bottom of the page. I have since done likewise many times in conversations with others. The table displays contrasts between a Noble Morality and a Slave Morality. The webpage is also more than a little bit interesting; take note in particular of the ending portion, concerned with réssentiment "morality" and passive-aggressive perspectives, which leads into the Nietzschean quiz and table as addenda of sorts. I've taken the liberty of making an image file out of the table for purposes of education, with an attribution to the original page URL address. The link to the original page is below.
After reading this article, a stroll around the site might prove interesting as well. See the FAQ here.
Ciao for now.

Of hats and parasols, part 1: The Dark Gothic
This is a proper hat. Still, I hope to find somewhere a black teardrop sinamay with thick black tulle fascinator, something like the one worn by model Sister Sinister in the cropped photo below, but without the white (charcoal grey might do, or a dark plum, or, depending on my mood, cobalt blue or black rose), and with thicker tulle (although I guess I could wear shades for more eye UV protection, and the nice parasol such as is pictured in the second photo below would also help).
Instructions for making such hats can be found here.
A nice parasol to go with this hat would be something like this:
This parasol can be ordered from Costumes of Nashua.
