ethergoth

Ethergoth is a subgenre of gothic fashion & music. The name stems from the ethereal music scene that began in the 80's. It can be characterized by it's serene, ambient qualities & unusual, often hard to define lyrics. The fashion of an ethergoth is more subtle or toned down than other versions of goth. They wear simple, all-black outfits that channel medieval or romantic gothic styles. Bell sleeves, amazing hats, & elegant skirts are common among girls in the scene, while ethergoth men wear poet shirts or tee shirts with simple black jeans. Jewel tone colors can be found among ethergoths quite commonly. The personality of a person who enjoys ethergoth music & fashion tends to be a quiet thoughtful soul who would rather read a good book, sip tea, or take a walk in the park than hang out at a noisy club. They love to surround themselves with the unique beauty they see in the world & can be found creating, painting, collecting crystals & bones, & burning incense. Ethergoths love to educate themselves on matters of philosophy, literature, mythology, nature & the supernatural & can be a wealth of information. Some goths who normally wear more dramatic fare dress like ethergoths when they need to be more toned down for work, family reunions, etc. It is also a good way for young folk who are interested in becoming goth to dip their toes into the subculture without horrifying their parents.

Look! There's an ethergoth photographing a bird skull she found on a hike.

Diethyl ether

Diethyl ether is a solvent that is useful for grignard reactions. It's also an anesthetic. Diethyl ether is highly flammable (even electrical outlets and too high temperatures can ignite it. Diethyl ether must be stored with butylated hydroxytoluene to avoid peroxide products which are explosive. Diethyl ether is also sometimes used for extractions, but other solvents like ethyl chloride, chloroform, toluene, hexane, and dichloromethane are generally preferred. Diethyl ether is synthesized by reacting ethanol with sulfuric acid. This reaction must be carried out at temperatures lower than 150 °C in order to ensure that an elimination product (ethylene) is not a product of the reaction. At higher temperatures, ethanol will dehydrate to form ethylene. The reaction to make diethyl ether is reversible, so eventually an equilibrium between reactants and products is achieved. Getting a good yield of ether requires that ether be distilled out of the reaction mixture before it reverts to ethanol.

I reacted ethyl magnesium chloride in diethyl ether with acetone, then reacted it with hydrochloric acid, and got 2-methyl-2-butanol.

Ethical Monogamy

Ethical monogamy is the practice of having only one relationship at a time that is carried out in an honest, authentic, genuine, caring and respectful manner.

In contrast to 'ethical non-monogamy' (and perhaps 'irresponsible monogamy'), people are emotionally and sexually involved with only one person at a time and have a strong sense of responsibility for how they impact one another's lives.

Ensuring both individuals are in a state where they feel fully informed about the others current feelings and status of their relationship is an important aspect of ethical monogamy. Regular check-in's and conversations are used to help both partners feel secure and healthy in their relationship.

This term has risen out of an era of disconnected, detached and damaging dating and relationship formats. If a relationship were to turn into an 'unethical state' or damaging place for either party, there is no longer an expectation that the relationship should continue in any way, shape or form.
