Yes absolutely x

Then “Pink is the greatest artist of our generation and I won’t have another word said about it” While she crawls through break up lyrics and cries into her chicken porridge.

I don’t understand this either. She said at the beginning of that book reading video that was shared yesterday that Penguin gave her £25K for her first book. What did she do with it? Why wouldn’t she immediately put it into property for the security she so clearly craves?

About income. It was on Twitter, since lockdown, I think, that either an ex publisher, or an ex agent was withholding £55,000 from her. If it was Twitter and not thread 31, it’s probably been deleted now.

Does anyone remember more clearly?

I’m a standard PAYE peasant and when we were saving for the house, husband was self employed via a Ltd like our Jackie (no Patreon, tip jars, or aff links tho 😂). It’s so much easier to long term plan when you’ve got huge clumps of cash lying about in a company bank acct, with his bit of the deposit I’d just say transfer me X by Y date (usually post tax bills) to put into the account I kept it in, mine was drip fed in from my salary. I know she earnt that money so not comparing it to an inheritance in that sense, but it is in some ways, like these huge windfalls of cash are much easier to manage mid to long term than trying to build with your disposable income step by step where there’s just more opportunities for it to go awry.

Now we’re 6 best selling™️ books deep that’s 6 windfalls (horse)spunked? Plus 2 from DKL and Hellman’s...

I don't think this comment is fair.
The school my son goes to the boys and girls will never live independently.

Their neurological disabilities are definitely a reason for them not behaving normally.
They are unmanageable and some 6 year olds are on heavy psychotic medication ot help relieve this. To enable them to walk across a road

Some of them are tube fed they stim (flap, rock, bounce) so much. Some of them have never uttered a word and communicate by screaming. Some will just attack.

Autism poster girls like Jack (uhhhh) literally do not represent the asd community and their abilities. (I too am autistic but in a very different way to my disabled child).


P. S I managed to quote the wrong comment it was the one before this I'm replying to

Autism can definitely be an excuse for behaviour.
Although in Jack's case she uses it as another trend.

Thanks for posting this - I completely agree. My 6 year old is autistic and recently also diagnosed with ADHD. He appears to function “normally” on the outside - is a very chatty, energetic child - but there are times when he simply cannot behave and react in the same way as a neurotypical child. I don’t know if he will ever live independently, have a job or relationship because of his neurodevelopmental disorders.
I find myself needing to advocate for him in school (mainstream) etc frequently as there is a belief that he is choosing certain behaviours when often there are clear triggers and his reactions are beyond his control. There are times when he’s just being a typical, mischievous kid of course!

My point is that neurodevelopmental conditions absolutely can be a reason for individuals to behave in certain ways.

JM is definitely not, in my experience, typical of the autistic community although I recognise ASD is often late to be diagnosed in females who tend to be better at masking. I do feel that she appears to use her diagnoses to justify what appears to be calculated and considered actions which is not generally an autistic trait.

The receipt 👏🏻 Thank you.

I knew I’d seen it somewhere, bobbing back and forwards reading here and Twitter I barely keep track, but it struck me that for someone who struggles by on the living wage, while doing 80-90 hours per week 🙃 why would you not do something about that? And for such a long period of time too? Very strange 😏
 

Jack Monroe #54 Thank you so Matt much, Matt
