Account is on sabbatical... but had to come back just to tell y'all to read @kellogg_camille's JUST AS YOU ARE.
Queer remixing of Pride & Prejudice...
Equal parts sexy, sweet & uplifting...
Wonderful read from debut author w 3-book deal so u know u wanna get there first!
@ashleylongellis@heyprofbow How can a person's real body be unhealthy for other people? It's her actual body. She's not inflicting it on anybody. She has a right to exist too!
@jdesmondharris PS "If you won't change the name, you don't get the horse" is what worries me here
"Great news, we're getting you the horse but you will have to change the name"
If you can't set this boundary... PEP (parent encouragement program) is low cost and it helps!
@kellogg_camille I do also love and appreciate stories with a real and relatable contemporary context - coincidentally these are typically written by current classroom teachers (:
But if the last time you set foot in a MS classroom was MS.... I'd rather you write what you know.
@kellogg_camille Counterpoint: Sometimes writing for yourself makes the story more real.
I think it's less distracting for young readers when a story is set in the past than when a writer has clearly shoehorned in their best attempt at The Tick Tock or Kids These Days Slang.
@jimmy_dguitar@tylerkingkade Although let's agree before the GOP gets there that a picture of a child in a cat costume at school in October does not constitute evidence of the furry enabling epidemic.

Friends, it's my birthday! I'm not teaching this year - but several of my former students now have classrooms of their own.
If you'd like to give me a gift, please consider sending a little $ or a book their way:

@JamilahLemieux Love the sunlight... and like seeing my neighbors on the block, too. We live in the city - the "downstairs" isn't private. We get dressed to come down the stairs!
