Jack Monroe #252 Dead People Can’t Find Apostrophes

[Thank(space)you]

This is totally it.

Regardless of anything she is obviously and admittedly ( by her own self) a very ill lady. She was/is recovering from a serious disease and yet her fanatics constantly praise her doing unhealthy stuff, like not sleeping, being told to eat, to rest, to spend time with her child. None of this is a good an a cursory look after yourself tweet is not enough. She needs A BREAK!

She needs away from it all to get properly well or else it's just going round and round in vicious circles until.. what?!

Morbid but dead people can't tweet

On a mega grunk but has anyone suggested
“What a tiny little life, Jack” for thread title?
If not, please consider this my submission. You’ll be at the new thread before I catch up.
Stupid real life stuff. I wanna go out and play on the monwoellercoaster

Thread title Rich people make bad choices

What about ‘Rich people make great chaoses’?

Thread title. Kindness personified.

So what is the status with the merch? Still for sale? And is production still going ahead? Will Jack be landed with a bill if they are made but the Trussell Trust has vetoed their sale?
Something has gone wrong or she would still be plugging them.
I would actually have more sympathy for her if she hadn't plastered her name across them.

She's still drawing her badges on old receipts and sticking safety pins to the backs

Flipping heck, if we can do another two pages in the next 17 minutes, we've done a thread in 24 hours.

And there's an absolute richness of thread titles to choose from for #253!

If you have a chronic condition can you get free prescriptions? I don’t pay for any of mine because wonky thyroid…

Asthma frau - no free prescriptions but could do the prepay.

guys wtf i’ve been gone for two days and now jack sells t shirts

Me too, We need to bring in quantum leap’s Sam Becket to fix this. It cannot be real!

 

[ChickenPorridge]

I think we should compile a list of quotes from her over the past couple of weeks for the Wiki as they are seriously up there with the cringiest, most self important statements I've ever seen. The big math, the autistic fury, the wishing for a tiny little life

I love quantum leap.
Irrelevant but factual.

Can we just accept that the kitten was never hers?
It belongs to the SB and his Dad.
He stayed there for a weekend/few days, possibly because of a supervised access arrangement and the cat came with them.
The kitten was NOT hers.

sucks dunnit! Tired, cold and larded all the time :/

Really does. I swing between the chills and feeling as if I'm on a spit roast. /ISPOILER]

Macro. Micro. Who know? She no.

She's definitely learnt that the fame thing doesn't last. Feels like she's trying to garner as much attention as possible (farewell tiny little life!) and pick through the offerings. Telly box show perhaps - Jack Chats Crap? Or that elusive Strictly slot? Please be our MP Jack, or some well paid advisory role. Don't think she's bothered as long as it pays well and they rightfully recognise her as St Jack, Princess of Pov.

 

[Cgenda]

I don't understand the slogan. Can someone explain please?

Don't tell any of my fellow academics .

Here is a wiki explanation

She just wants back in to the kind of doors that see her telling Jude law to sit the duck down, telling people to take Marcus rashford's name outa they mouths (wtaf?); in photo ops with jay Rayner and nigella Lawson. And of course being able to pull women like Allegra and the LJC
Or men like Steve buscemi....

I wrote an email to the TT about how alarmed I was at the slogan and the fact she’s using it with their name attached to make money.

Am I allowed to post their reply? As I think it may make a few of you Actually I’ll just put the paragraph in a spoiler….

Spoiler: TT Reply

Jack has been leading her recent campaigns independently, on her own and without support or consultation from the Trussell Trust. We have been trying to speak to Jack about this campaign, and her work to raise awareness for the cost of living. We hope to chat to her agent later this week.

I don’t know about you, but the fact they put that first sentence in bold sent me spinning. Looks like Jack’s in a bit of trouble.

this just made me owl champagne, subtle shaaaaade from the TT! Thank you! (Yes I am behind but really who isn’t at this stage in our small lives)
