Ghost Town

#AustintheBeagle attempted to apply the KonMari method to his books, but all the books gave him joy-sparks so nevermind. (This is what a beagle experiencing joy-sparks looks like.)

A lot of good information in this piece. The headlie-- like headlies everywhere-- is unhelpful: " How Mindfulness and Trauma-Informed Teaching Can Go Together" might fit better: There are bullet points! "[T]he public school setting with 30-40 kids in a classroom is already not trauma-informed. It’s a very difficult context in which to build relationships, and the architecture, policies and procedures that can make schools feel institutional only make it harder. That’s why often Himelstein sees mindfulness first-and-foremost as a self-care technique for teachers. If teachers can successfully use their mindfulness practice to create metacognitive distance, they can take their ego out of interactions with kids." #DiehardsSociety https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/52881/why-mindfulness-and-trauma-informed-teaching-dont-always-go-together

#AustintheBeagle will miss the G+ Dog Park. He's been a part of this community since he was a puppy eating dolls and talking his brother #ClydetheBeagle (R.I.P.) into running away on adventures. He hasn't really found a good replacement for this Dog Park.

Yogurt, bananas, and tiny candy bars: When the government is shut down and one is stranded by a blizzard, one finds breakfast wherever one can.

#AustintheBeagle: "Good morning. Why, yes, now that you mention it, it does appear that there may have been canine involvement in the illicit unwrapping activity that went on recently under the holiday tree. However, THIS dog is merely lying in bed on a Saturday morning. I suggest you make your inquiries elsewhere, good sir!"
