In case you’re local… Amanda Palmer is touring Australia and New Zealand...

In New Zealand campaigning on the final election day - Saturday - is illegal. This includes wearing party t-shirts, displaying candidate signs on your lawn, driving around with a party bumper sticker, or even posting on Tumblr in favour of a candidate!

lickypickystickyfree: Once a human reaches the age of 35, he/she will start losing approximately 7,000 brain cells a day. The cells will never be replaced. Why does this happen and how do I stop it??? Been feeling especially muddle-headed lately.

180 days isn't enough.

girlwithalessonplan: There. I said it. In New Zealand the school year is longer. It generally starts at the beginning of February, and has four 10-week terms, separated by 2-week vacations. Then the long summer break is 6 weeks long. So the school year is just under 200 days (there are a few holidays off, but most of them fall during the vacations). It took some getting used to when I...
