Jack Monroe #252 Dead People Can’t Find Apostrophes

[HotesTilaire]

They aren't her original words. It isn't really her 'design' as such, she's typed words into their software and used their apostrophe-less fonts. She won't be making, or sending the products. What exactly justifies her signature on all of it? It's bizarre. If it was her artwork or something, maybe. She is so bloody odd, it just looks out of place.

I hate to say it but I think Jack invented the saying. I couldn’t find it attributed to anyone on tinternet, although I’m a total boomer so someone else should check. It’s a Fack Jonroe quote. I feel sick.

I hope so copy right person gets her arse!

This reminds me of when she photographed her food bank donations with her name written on a piece of paper. It’s all about Jack. It all is.
It’s the kind of absolute self confidence that solidly middle class girls from good schools have because it’s an accepted truth that they can expect exactly what they want. They understand chutzpah and funnily enough, it gets them places.
I know there are exceptions. Just my observations from a personal stance.

Sorry but just to number crunch here a minute, is she really saying she's shifted £15k's worth of merch in 6 hours?

 

[Yorkiepud]

Why does she go on about producing the T-shirts ethically because she doesn't want the right wing press to castigate her? Rather than it being the right thing to do? Aside from the fact these garments will probably get worn once then forgotten about.

If anyone’s wearing this stuff at the school gate when I’m dropping off the little one over the next few weeks, I’m having words

I think you're right on this. The longer quote is hers too.

Still tit tho, and she gets no points for font choices.

I think that JM's downfall may not be the taxman, it will be her over inflated ego

Having seen her attempts at fashion design, I am now more confused than ever by that brief stage when she quit her job mid-Poverty and tried to make it as a self-employed crafter.

That just looks cheap and chavvy.

The whole 'dead people cant riot' has made me think of Dead Can Dance, a group I had not thought of in ages, so at least I have that to thank Jack for?

 

[Onestorytoomany]

When you Google those words.

Also Martin Luther king was once quoted "riot is the language of the unheard"

In my opinion this could have been used to trigger her own. Pure speculation!

Huh. So she didn’t quit because she was in hospital having a breakdown, she just thought she could be an arteeest?

Yeah this feels like a huge amount, especially considering the price point…? It’s more likely she is (purposefully) conflating proceeds with profit?

In her blog she talks about going self employed when she set up “Bread and Jam”

The order of events during The Poverty remains shrouded in mystery.

This doesn't even make sense.

Shrouded in bullshit.

I would tolerate it if some belligerent teenager had thought of this t-shirt. Once you are an adult and decide to virue signal like this you deserve all the scorn that comes your way. (Also big fat lolz on getting the difference between micro and macro worng. I know this has been pointed already, but it's as funny as the cant sans apostrophe )
