Ps As a health professional I only ever acknowledge a patient if they have acknowledged me first, particularly as I do a lot of work in addiction.

sorry for the rant, I feel better for just typing it
I used to work with professional counsellors both addiction and mental health. No freebies sessions for colleagues across the lunch table. They kept professional boundaries at all times even if you considered them a friend. 😏
 
I thought this the other night - as in Jack was spiralling but it all led to the rattle of the tip jar (once again). Think @heretoreaditall2019 noted Jack gained a couple of Patreons off the back of it. It’s also classic Jack - giving the impression of something vs the actual reality of the situation. Sorry I realise I’m coming across as cynical and admire your empathy for Jack - last nights therapist bollocks zapped any remaining empathy I had.

While I don’t doubt Jack has/had mental health struggles you (not you directly - I mean in a general sense) can’t get away from the fact Jack’s tweets are deliberately manipulative to aid the grifting. It is also a convenient tactic to stop people calling out the lies and inconsistencies as Jack can then claim *insert ailment/cosplay* to deflect.
Hard agree
Jack is extremely manipulative and doesn’t care who she hurts in the process

Thank you for reminding me - baby currently napping so just opened my laptop to take a look at it:

She’s gained 6 patreon subs in December so far, datetime (GMT) in column A below. But only 2 of the 6 are assumed to be resubs as they occurred in the first 3 days after payment was due, you can see where she was being cheeky with it 22/12 as she had two within the same bleeping hour! Unprecedented grift since she’s realised we’re keeping an eye on it.

I need to give this project an overhaul in the new year tbh, I want to start tracking more grifters and normal ppl to benchmark against. If anyone has any suggestions pls do drop in the F&D thread so we don’t derail this one ❤️✨ x

I can’t believe that bods still sign up for what? Nothing?
Some people sure have more money the sense-

Feks with my mind it does

Completely agree. It's as much to protect the counsellor, too. Not only in terms of their professionalism but also counselling is *really* demanding work and everyone needs their downtime. I mean, I know it can't compare to the 19 hour shifts JM puts in, but still.
 
Still grunking...it's a long night here ...
Around twenty years ago Toni and guy was an aspirational salon in my town.
I treated myself to a cut and colour there. Everything about the appointment was dreadful, the reception, the mishandled booking, the waiting, the complete lack of knowledge or experience of my hair type resulting in a haircut most horrid.
Not dissimilar to jack's new do.
It wasn't until afterwards I discovered that the workers (I would not grace them with the title hairdresser or stylist) were taught approx one new haircut per season and no matter what your needs or request or hair type were , you were having that cut regardless.
I don't know if this was just our salon but judging by what people say here about the Southend branch ig pics sounds as if they are still doing the same 😂
T&G is a franchise anyone can buy in if you have the money. Any stylist you employ has to go to the T&G school in London to learn their cuts, there is always a cut of the season. The only other thing you have to do is sell T&G product.
Jacks haircut is a crime to hair.

Thanks for clarifying, wasn't sure if this was smalltown urban myths!

FFS I have the stupid First Class Windows “pay for your front get your back done free” jingle stuck in my head now. Thanks Jack 😡
This was the jingle they used to entice her into Toni and guy for that hammer hair of horror
 
Still trying to catch up, but 20 or so pages behind. Needed to just jump forward to say, Jack really is lacking in style, she is totally unfashionable, and is the epitome of bad taste.

Jack's self congratulating sober Christmas isn't what she thinks it is. It is all about her, "aren't I good" "look at me, I don't drink" "praise me for my achievement"... The whole of her twitter is self focussed. It is attention seeking to an extreme I didn't think was possible. Well some people didn't manage it. It doesn't make us less than you Jack.

I have had a really bad year. My cancer is proving problematic to treat and whatever treatment will cause life changing consequences. I wanted to let my hair down and went too far. I am paying the price now, not only financially (which I can't really afford) but mentally too. I got completely off my face on J1g and Tina, and anything else I could get my hands on.

I lost 2 days over Christmas. I feel like tit now. I know why I did it, but wish I hadn't. I am not ashamed of myself, more disappointed. It was a blip. I can't say it won't happen again, unlike Jack, I am a realist and know I am flawed.

Back to the gunk. See what other stuff Jack can do to wind me up.

By the way, her makeup makes her look like a clown. 🤡
