Put Your Amygdala On Ice

from All The Things Hosted by Andrew Gibbs

I tried to beam some positive energy into the world on Wednesday with a video of Little Kitty reveling in a fresh feather attached to the wand. Having posted a clip to social media, I then headed out for an afternoon's skiing, but when I later pulled up Facebook in the lodge I was, alas, greeted not by happy reactions to feline frivolity but rather a clip from CNN of ICE fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good. This perspective seemed fairly damning in certain regards, to a degree I found myself tempted to react immediately, but instead I put my amygdala in jail to cool down, resolving to allow more of the story to clarify before sharing a take.
