Writer & educator. I'm curious about wonder, real-life magic, quirky obsessions, the power of friendship, and the universal struggle to find one's place in the world. Repped by John Cusick at Folio Jr. https://josephinecameron.com

I had a hard time letting go of my decade+ Twitter posts (nostalgia?) so I used blueark to move them here (thanks to @janefriedman.com 's Electric Speed newsletter!) It cost $5.00 and the only hitch was that apparently, all the posts got dated yesterday? Sorry if I accidentally flooded your feed!!!

Thank you to Tegan Beese for showing precisely how dishonest and cowardly Scholastic is being, both with their decision to segregated the books, and their statements justifying that segregation www.instagram.com/reel/CxvzRC-...

PSA: the McCloskey exhibit at the Brunswick, #Maine public library ends this month. It's worth the drive, and the leaves are gorgeous right now, too!

If you're coming to #Maine for leaf-peeping (you should!) be sure to stop by Brunswick to see the Robert McCloskey exhibit at the public library (ends Oct 29). I love seeing the sketches and process behind final art!

Virtual author visits are a great way to jumpstart student projects & build enthusiasm for oft-dreaded tasks (like revision). This year, I've built a new easy-peasy calendar & opened up a few *limited* dates...hope to see you soon! #teachers #librarians...

Bad news: we watched Reservation Dogs as slowly as possible to make it last, but now it's over 😞
Good news: Our Flag Means Death is back 🤸♂️🤸🤸♀️
Bottom line: I'm so grateful for excellent storytelling ❤️
What should I queue up next?

It's good to remember what it feels like to be a student. Today, I need to take a timed test in something I've studied, taught, and generally know very well... yet I don't want to start it bc what if I actually *don't* know the things I'm pretty sure I know or I blank or I have to pee or...? Blerg.
