Self-Made Man: My Year Disguised as a Man is a 2006 book written by journalist Norah Vincent, recounting an 18-month experiment in which she disguised herself as a man—"Ned"—and then integrated into traditionally male-only venues, such as a bowling league, a monastery, and a men’s support group. She also described her experiences as a man in the workplace, in strip clubs, and on dates with women.
In order to effectively pose as a male, Vincent acquired a buzz cut and flattened her chest using a sports bra. She also hired a makeup artist to fake a five o'clock shadow and trained for months to imitate a deeper male voice.
Near the end of the experiment, Norah Vincent had a mental breakdown, and had to check herself into an institution for depression.
A friend of mine has asked me to spread the word: some former students of his are conducting an evaluation task on British English. If you’re an English speaker from the UK and are interested in participating, you can follow this link:

One of the shots from our mini project with @studiovariat Really enjoyed shooting outside - collaborating with nature is wonderful, challenging and very rewarding in the end.

*places an orange just outside a fairy ring to see what comes out* science is more of an art than a science
*the orange grows legs and skitters away*
Fascinating results *places a banana in the same spot*
*clawed hand reaches out of the ether and drags it into the ring, leaving ragged claw marks in the soil as it disappears, back into the ether from whence it came*
“let’s go to the extreme.” *places a pineapple in the same spot*
Real scientists would keep putting an orange in the same spot to make sure the results are consistent before moving on to other fruits or different spots.
Here’s a repost to start the day off. Enjoy EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH A PET ROBOT, finally with the intended colors & textures, HUZZAH!!! As you can see, I’ve learned a thing or too about saving for the web. Yikes, how did I survive my art schooling? Lord only knows… Well, later gators! Dani.K
Just reiterating that the heart of witchcraft is (just like science) experimentation and documentation. Try things out. Get them wrong. Mess up. Do better. Write down your efforts. Make changes and alterations based on what you have access to. Above all, if it works, it works; if it doesn’t, then it’s no good. Witchcraft is a results-based practice.
