If you need to relax, the best thing you can do for yourself is play this thunderstorm .wav while listening to mellow, ambient instrumental music (such as Explosions in the Sky or Message to Bears). Make sure to turn your iTunes sound slider down half-way so that the noises of the rain are equally matched to the music.
In the process of adding an ask page to my poetry Tumblr, I clicked to allow anonymous questions, and received this pop-up:
Use at your own risk: Anonymity can be fun, but can also bring out the worst in people. Don’t feel bad about disabling anonymous questions if they turn nasty or inappropriate.
It was a small moment, but I’ve never seen a website protect its users in this particular way before. I was actually a bit touched by this tiny slice of honesty and sensitivity in a climate which is—as they point out—often harsh under its cloak of anonymity. I can appreciate Tumblr’s attempt to preserve humanity in a system which unwittingly encourages negative commentary that might not surface in face-to-face interactions.
