I’m on a forever Grunk so do forgive me if I’ve missed it and you are all already aware…

but when did the tip jar link appear at the top of her Twitter?! She’s such a bloody grifter, I can’t understand how Folx don’t see through it. I’m annoyed at how easy Twitter makes it for her to plead poverty, depression, theft etc and she knows all those people who follow her with big hearts and best intentions will give, even when they have very little themselves.

Literally the morning it was activated.

Of course you do luv. Most of us just eat some chocolate or sweets. I have a ridiculously sweet tooth, but I have never ever felt the urge to crunch on a blimmin’ sugar cube. Who does she think she is, Mr Ed?🐴🐴😂 (That’s one for the older members of the Cabal.)

My partner does eat sugar for energy but he just uses a spoon and takes a drink of water to swill it away. Why does Jack have to do it the hard way?

Jack, famously, doesn't eat sweets but of course crunches down the sugar cubes like there's no tomorrow.

On a separate note, I do get the feeling that Jack's recovery involves lots of fingerpointing (at us, at her family and friends) as to why she relapsed. Which is ... not great.

The “done” list must be Carole as you shouldn’t have enough of a relationship with your therapist to know how emotionally healthy they are: they’re not paid to talk about themselves.

So Jack, let me just say: YOUR PUBLISHER IS NOT YOUR bleeping THERAPIST. SHE IS A COLLEAGUE. It’s just so inappropriate that this ghoul is drawing on this woman’s kindness and emotional labour while simultaneously using it as an excuse to be months late on all of her contracted books that she’s no doubt happily spent the advance for.

Has she genuinely forgotten that just weeks ago she was tweeting that she had no MH support and was “close to the edge”? How does this tally with all these bastarding therapists at her beck and call?? I looooooooathe her. She’s a dementor.

Oh Christ, she'll be asking people what they want from the tuck shop next.

"I don't eat sugar"

Another friend/family member seems to be apologising to her for no apparent reason.

It's becoming increasingly apparent that people in her life have to constantly walk on eggshells and pre-emptively apologise for potential slights in order to avoid being guilt-tripped or cut off. What a way to treat people.

I think she speaks quite rudely about the Fire Service. Saying she couldn't change her name as they would deadname her, made out like she was only there for the 'female's work' such as cooking, were rigid on dress code, the old boy's club mentality.

She shows a lot of misandry towards the service, so yeah, I can completely imagine a collective sigh of relief on her departure.

Also, lets not ignore the fact she worked there 2007-2011. If SB was born before she left, how much time did she have off for maternity? She literally did the training, worked a few months and then got pregnant. It doesn't seem to me like she had any aspirations in creating a long term career with them.

She also says she was dismissed in this article-

Stand By Me.

Bear with me please, for what I am about to do. Some of my longtime readers may know that when I was a single mum, living on delayed, suspended and cancelled benefits in this hellscape of a smashed…

I’m sure this has been asked and answered before, but I’ve been thinking about her leaving/dismissal. Did she take the FS to tribunal?

Now come on, she said she doesn't eat sweets, sugar is sugar, not interchangeable like herbs

You know, I looked at this and thought it didn't look that bad. At least it's solid. But then I tried to imagine eating it and thought about the rubbery texture of halloumi, the stringyness of the spring onions and the crunch of the anchovy bones and felt a bit ill.

(I'm assuming that there are bones in tinned anchovies. But I'm an actual vegan so I don't know)
