Some say reading the news is toxic to your body. In many ways it is, as it triggers the limbic system, that super fun part of your brain that controls behaviours we need for survival—particularly fight or flight responses.
There have been a lot of stories spurring cascades of cortisol in us this past week, from housing emergencies and municipal infrastructure being held together by chewing gum and tape to local infighting over new rules and policies. Those will always be around, but this week? We wanted to share some good news, inspiring news, news that'll make you laugh, and news that'll make you hungry as well.
