Methodically Eclectic


Trying to chill out on the blog thing, but I just couldn't leave entirely because I love you guys.

About me: Nicole, 24, USA. Currently surviving graduate school, watching "Alias," reading Oscar Wilde, and second-drafting a novel about Christian faith and the acceptance of LGBT people. (I compromise on neither.) Don't be shy to message me. :-)

Ask me anything :-)

Scientists discover most relaxing tune ever

Sound therapists and Manchester band Marconi Union compiled the song. Scientists played it to 40 women and found it to be more effective at helping them relax than songs by Enya, Mozart and Coldplay.

Weightless works by using specific rhythms, tones, frequencies and intervals to relax the listener. A continuous rhythm of 60 BPM causes the brainwaves and heart rate to synchronise with the rhythm: a process known as ‘entrainment’. Low underlying bass tones relax the listener and a low whooshing sound with a trance-like quality takes the listener into an even deeper state of calm.

omg

This is fantastic.

Many people hop on board the marriage equality movement without considering the other real issues the queer community faces. 
Something to think about: is marriage equality really the most pertinent issue? 
Choosing to only to fight for a single issue, i.e. marriage equality, invalidates queer persons that are not economically privileged. Yes, marriage equality is a human rights issue. However, there are basic human rights that need to be addressed that don’t cater to class interests.

Drawing otters was super hard because I looked at a picture of otters to use as a photo reference, then I ended up wasting way too much time looking at pictures of otters.

Okay, so I’ve been struggling to rewrite the opening of one of my older novels for a year now. And that’s not hyperbole. It’s a common problem, too: sometimes there are entirely necessary parts of stories that we find ourselves unable to write. Here are a few of the…
