Jack's best beloved Asda are joining other places trying to help families and children during the school holiday too, there are good things happening despite her constant wailing about starvation and cold cold cold.

So many congratulations for Rishmate from Jack for coming first yesterday. Honestly, I am so happy that Jack put their differences aside and managed to say a big, fat “well done.”

Also happy she can “coax herself” to do things when simultaneously in a massive slump and living a life beyond her wildest dreams. Jack truly is amazing. All whilst putting up with ex partners who hated the way she dressed, hated her tattoos, seemingly hated her. Jack should be the one we look up to, aspire to be, in fact I am so in awe of her I can see why people pay her £x per month to do sweet duck all.

xoxo canal.

Jack's tilde abuse is straight out of the Myspace era, and as a former teenage Livejournaller I kind of love it.

BTW I'm still mulling over the dressing like a lesbian thing. Obviously there is no official lesbian dress code, but...well, I suppose the stereotype that would come to mind is butch, and Jack doesn't dress that way? She did a bit many years ago, when she had short hair and was the most lesbian lesbian ever to have lesbianed, but those days are long gone, and the last time she showed off her famous masculine aesthetic it was with a cable knit jumper.

Unless pig skin hats and expensive pastel jumpers are particularly sapphic and I am unaware of this, I would almost suspect that Jack herself made the comment? Like, "Ooh look out Harold, I dress like a lesbian, no one will think we're together?"

Not only this but she seems to have an obsession with people accusing her of not 'looking' lesbian or being 'too' lesbian. She previously claimed that an ex (who by the timeline might have been Allegra or the policewoman) put her off wearing a certain (extremely expensive looking) designer leather jacket because the ex had told Jack 'you're not as butch as you think you are.'

This obsession with lesbian aesthetics rather than the substance of being a lesbian leads me to suspect that either Jack was never as secure in her lesbianism as she projected, or that she was far more interested in the aesthetics (and pissing off mum and dad?) than the identity per se.

or it might just all mean that Jack doesn't really know who she is. That could be true too.
 
I was once told that I dressed like a grungy lesbian (this was back in the day before I knew that was indeed exactly what I was 😂). I had long hair but didn’t wear much make up and never wore flowery dresses preferring jeans and stompy boots. I just laughed and said I’m ok with that. In fact I’m stuck in the 90s and my love of stompy boots comes from then instead of who I am attracted to 🤷🏼‍♀️

An obsession with whether you look like a lesbian or not suggests a poor sense of self and emotional immaturity.

Hi Jack 👋🏻

So no reports from Jack of her life changing appointments with various shoulder medics yesterday?

Someone else who's pretty well known on twitter (not a blue tick I don't think) tried to sell some art that she owns to raise funds for a chemo wig, and now someone else has started a fundraiser for the wig. The lady works hard and posts a lot of her work, but she's also been posting about her illness a lot, which makes sense because, you know, when you're chronically ill or otherwise very sick, you think and talk about it all the time. :unsure: ...
Anyway, squigs, don't even think about starting a Jack's New Shoulder Fund, OK? Good

And not a single one of her followers cares enough about her to ask how her consultation went. If I know someone is attending a specialist I always ask how they got on.

It's almost as if they don't care enough to have noticed that she mentioned her appointment only a couple of days ago.

I think for most of the squiggles Jack is like white noise, they know she's there but she's easy to ignore. They only notice her when she has a chaos.

The vast majority of those offers still require an adult to be buying a meal, like most offers for free or cheap kids' meal deals for decades. What person living in such poverty that they can't afford to feed their kids can simultaneously afford to eat out themselves? It's a nice little bonus for families who can think "mum will buy a breakfast and the kids eat free" or whatever but hardly helping to feed the allegedly starving huddled masses. I don't get it.
 
A start of thread update. Feel free to use/update/ignore at the start of new threads:

  • Jack currently has 715 Patreon subscribers, each paying a minimum of £3.50 per month. There is a £44 per month tier which she could remove if nobody was using it, which leads the Canal to suspect there’s at least one mug subscriber. Worth noting Jack has not updated her Patreon since November 2020.
  • Jack has not revealed which ‘smaller charities’ would receive a boost following the big TeeMill sale of fascist merchandise which seen Jack forced to hand over her own savings to the Trussell Trust receive £10,000 of proceeds from 1st day sales.
  • Jack has not yet paid her tax despite having a recent phone call with HMRC and an appointment with her accountant.
  • Jack bought a dog called Content Laurie who has recently been absent from social media -she was last spotted on 4th July.
  • Earlier this year, Jack created the Vimes Boots Index/VBI. This resulted in a number of people submitting receipts, sending tips to her PayPal in order to support this important work. Unsurprisingly, after milking the cash cow dry Unfortunately as Jack is just one woman and a biro, she hasn’t yet got round to completing this work.
  • Jack has been saving money via a daily standing order, the money put away will either allow for 2 short breaks with SB, or if Jack doesn’t maintain her sobriety, a nice donation to an addiction charity. Jack has decided, in mid-July to plan a summer break for her and SB. This should be somewhere within reach of public transport which is disability accessible due to Jack’s walking stick. The location should also be an outstanding area of natural beauty or a national park, it should have no rough terrain but have wild camping available. It should be dog-friendly, reasonably cheap and could be in any of the 4 nations of the UK.
  • Jack was cruelly left heartbroken by her ex-OH who has now been outed as a homophobic, tattoophobic friend.

I fully agree, it’s totally performative, just like Jack.
