HIDEY-HO FRANKIE FRIENDS! WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND TODAY? “ My dearest frankie, I sat down with my coffee on a shitty Sunday morning to read issue 80. Each time I turned the page and exclaimed, “Yes, Eleanor!” or wondered in quiet panic whether Mia and I are actually the same person, I felt myself slowly untangling. Thanks for always putting humanity into words and leting me feel a little more human while you’re at it.” Teanna x LETTERSOFFRANKIE.COM.AU

There are two main kinds of laughter: impulsive, natural laughs triggered by something you find truly amusing, and voluntary,posed laghs brought on in social situations, like when your boss makes a not-all-that-funny-joke,or you want to fit in with a group of chorting peers. Research shows these different typoes of laughs spark activity in seperate parts of the listener’s brain, so be warned: you might think you’re an expert schmoozer, but your boss willinstinctively attempt to decipher the purpose behind your laughter.

the art of happiness with ben folds INTERVIEW BY MIA TIMPANO
EXPAND YOUR MIND I’m kind of a music slut. If I was at some kind of event and they were playing German polka music from the 19th century,I’d love that. That’d be my favorite music, because it’d be what we were listening to then, and everyone would be dancing to it. And I’d like, “Yeah, I love polka music!” I think we use music so much as identification, especially when we’re younger.We’re like “This is who i am,I don’t like it.” But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more and more open minded in a way I wouldn’t have expected.I thought you closed up more. And sometimes I’m happiest when I’m by myself. I never have like crowds, unless I’m in front of them.Then it’s OK, because there’s space between me and them LOL.
