I got an email from the Edinburgh Book Festival earlier. I was a marketing Frau in a former life and usually the events you plug in your newsletter are the ones you're still desperately trying to sell tickets for... speculation of course your honour!

(Edited the image to squiggle out the other writers' faces as they're not in the same event as Jack and I felt bad having their faces on here.)

PIP is notoriously difficult to get though. People with significant health issues often have to go tribunal to overturn poor decisions.

Maybe she had an assessment, rolled up her sleeves, the assessor gasped in awe and whispered thanks for all you do as they winked at her and stamped and certified that she was the most disabled person they have ever met.

Probably already said, but Jack can’t apply for benefits because she’s traumatised from The Poverty when her housing benefits got delayed. Also Jack assists people at disability benefit tribunals and appeals, apparently.

Self-care tips? From Jack?
ETA: https://balance.media/self-care-starts-good-food-says-jack-monroe/

"So, is there a mission for the world Jack has in mind? “Just teaching as many people to cook as well and as cheaply as I can. I’m not just a food writer, I am a campaigner. My work was born out of a need, teaching people to cook from food bank boxes. It’s an issue that’s not going away.”

And finally, a tip for cheap, tasty and great looking dishes? “Tinned fi sh is a great source of protein, and baked beans are really good. Salt, pepper and lemon juice are my ‘go to’: they have rescued hundreds of slightly c*cked up meals!”"
