.....cue her local New Look assistant regaling us with hilarious tales of her trying on 3 shirts and 4 pairs of jeans and then distributing thermals to the homeless on her way home. The End.

Well... Funny you should say that....
I just popped on because I used to work in New Look, Southend branch.
I'm not going to say much here because...🔺... But... Cheeky, quirky, overwhelmingly generous...
I'm sure you can guess the rest...
 
Couple of blinds from Deux Moi on Piers. That new channel sounds like fun.

Maybe some opportunities for you, Jack! You + Piers = cheeky little duo V 2?! 🙃

Lads, I watched the lingreenie video.

On this - she spent more time talking about the shed than the food. Do we think the shed was her attempt at a USP to get a regular slot? Or even built for a potential slot... that Eamonn naturally killed any hope of after she poisoned his wife that one time
 
If anyone doesn't want to duck up their carpets and vacuum cleaner, a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and purified water with a spoonful of bicarb dissolved into it and your fragrance oil of choice in a spray bottle is a much, much better way to freshen up your carpets and furniture if necessary.

You can have that one, love, just remember to check which oils are safe for your animals before... Oh who am I kidding.
 
That “yep” sums up everything that makes this thread race along.

Jack thinks what is happening to her is equivalent to what is happening to M & H. Even on the Hinch threads there are often 1700 people voting in the polls. She has so idea what some people in the public eye have to put up with on a daily basis. She goes on and on about her SM feed being filled with mendacious trolls but really, she needs to look at what others are dealing with.

I was bullied by students in my first school to the extent of having my water bottle spat in, being made fun of to my face for having facial hair and having my blackboard (!) vandalised with horrid comments. I was told by my boss that I needed to develop a thicker skin and no action was taken.

However, life goes on. She needs to not make everything about her all the time.

If you are reading this Jack, we need some new slop.

SH's tweet completely ignores that abusive partners commonly deploy those words as a coercive tactic.

I understand this is about MM and I I don't think she's lying, but it's naive to suggest that people don't ever use these words as weapons.

Not just partners, in confrontations with (semi-) strangers some white women will use their tears as a threat to non-white people. Which is dangerous particularly in countries like the US where so many people carry guns (e.g. last year a white lady called the police on a black birder who had just told her she needed to put her dog on the lead. This in a time when blank men in the US ar so much more at risk of being shot by the police when perceived dangerous than any other demographic). White women are generaly assumed to be innocent and believed when they say they are hurt (I was trying to find an academic paper I recently saw tweeted about preceived innocence, but can't find it anymore).

Of course, many people who have been bulied and abused are not believed and suffer from that, including white women. But blanket statements (used for cloutfishing) about believing women are just that, blanket statements that don't take into the power dynamics of each situation. And being believed or not depends a lot on the latter.

I keep being amazed how general folks identify either with MM&H or the Royal family. It's a conflict between two elite groups I wil never have access to anyway (the Royal family and Holywood royalty) that will both use (and abuse) their powers when it suits them 🤷‍♀️ .
 
Some of the other threads here do make me uncomfortable when the tattlers go on and argue with the Z Listers on their Instagram Lives. It's a good rule that Tattle doesn't allow pile ons. Jack wants more though- she wants to be immune from being challeged about the rabbit, veganism, inconsistencies in her story etc. Her Twitter mentions are not a hellscape- I have read every one for several months, they are almost all people challeging her over things she has said/ done publicaly. If she does not want to be challenged in this way she can simply stop going on twitter, stop peddling the slop, and stop obsessively reading tattle - I have also noticed her reusing phrases from here.

ETA sorry for all typos. I have no excuses.

This thread, as others have said, has challenged my thinking over things and it is only when you are challenged can you begin to see other people’s points of view.

She doesn’t accept those challenges. She doesn’t want to see anyone else’s point of view on anything from food to MH and therein lies the problem.

She will never change. She will only see herself as a victim. It is pointless.
 
I'm sorry if any of us pointing out you've lied about stuff & conned people out of money has made you feel suicidal Jack. As that's what you're inferring.

I wonder if that's one of the options you considered tweeting during your mad cycle through of tweets during the GoHenry debacle. One thing we can both agree on is that you should definitely get some help.
 
Having a large platform on SM, in lieu of any actual talent, is really lucrative in terms of book deals, TV etc, I think that is why she sees it as work.
Jack knows that Twitter is the only place anyone knows or takes any notice of her, if she was to stay away she would fade away. Which would be the healthiest option for her.
Unfortunately her ego will never allow that and she will keep going until she goes out with a bang.
They will eventually come for her, Twitter has a tradition for turning on those once thought to be untouchable, and all the receipts will be available.
 
I loathe the weaponisation of mental health. I've seen friends and family members trying to deal with abusive if you leave me I'll kill myself. It is sick.

It also perpetuates a narrative - that was showcased by that grossly irresponsible book/series 13 Reasons Why - that suicide is someone else's fault. People like to look for logic, I get that, but suicide is not a simple case of cause and effect, as it is so often portrayed in the media.

By the way, I say this as someone who lost a family member to suicide. It was years ago now, and I don't say this to ask for sympathy. After a suicide, our natural reaction is to blame ourselves and say "if only I'd done X." My entire family did that for a very long time, and it is deeply unhealthy and just plain wrong. Suicide is complex and almost impossible to understand, and should never be used as a weapon or a threat.
