I’m wondering if this will get me in trouble but I’m feeling a bit feisty so I’m going to post it anyway. It’s horrible when you don’t know what everyone else is talking about.
A while back, a user made some problematic comments about race. Nothing horrendous but enough to set alarm bells ringing. A discussion then ensued on the thread about why their viewpoint was at best ignorant and ill informed and at worst racist.
The user flounced off. Then came back later that evening and claimed they weren’t racist as their husband was a POC. Then they made some strange posts and left. The general consensus was that someone else had made the later posts on their behalf.
A few days later, they reappeared and didn’t reference the incident at all. It was odd.
Move forward to a couple of weeks down the line, some other posters noticed one of JM’s online twitter trolls had similarities to the poster in question. Think same B&W profile pic. This troll was a far right menace from what I can make out.
Saturn unmasked the person in suitably dramatic fashion and they disappeared again.
ONLY TO RETURN around the time the kitten died.
I assume they’ve done something else today but I don’t know what as I’ve had them muted since they came back. I hope I’ve represented all of this correctly but I might have missed bits.

Hi friends. Just a heads up as I know flouncing/airport departure posts are against the rules on the main threads so I thought i’d pop on this thread to say I won’t be posting anymore. I’ll keep my account so that I can still read but I didn’t want anyone to worry where I was, if that’s not arrogant to assume.
So, the MT is now Silver free and can be used by everyone and threads started by anyone without being negatively affected by me.
Love to you all.

Just a wee Me-rail. Feel free to skip.
I've not been sure how to do this but I felt I was kind of ignoring people who were sending good wishes about my sudden trip to the hospital and was a bit torn between being a rude dick and not wanting to bring the mood down. I've been unwell for a couple of months but was in the dark about the cause. I thought it was a bad back- a really crippling bad back but after getting various tests and my liver suddenly going insane last week we've learned that I have breast cancer. The excellent news is it's very highly treatable with hormones and a bit of chemo! I'm getting fitted for a free wig and everything and there is a spa in the hospital! I feel like I've entered a world of secret perks and am in really good spirits so no sympathios for me please. The staff and other patients here are lovely and I never thought I'd spend so much time laughing on a cancer ward of all places but here we all are- some of the women on the ward are so funny it actually hurts laughing. The last couple of months have been a terrible worry with not knowing what was wrong and whilst I admit cancer really wasn't my first choice I'm so glad I have an explanation and a plan for treatment. Hooting at Tattle is really keeping my spirits up and I could kiss Molly for her timing. Unfortunately I am beginning to fear Jack might have triangulated me and infiltrated the hospital kitchens as the food is getting worse so I may need some sturdy Scottish frauen to bust me out at some stage- the Jenny Numbers show has many seasons yet to to run and I'm not having bloody Jack take me out with a spiked slop before my bloody wig arrives. SH1TTER that she is.

Apropos of nothing at all, but I mentioned on the mother thread a while ago that my partner lost his job (because Covid). He's just got a shiny new one! And I reckon much better suited to him than the previous one. Am so very happy and so relieved for him. I may have had a little cry, because I am a crier.

Just popping in to say hello, hope everyone is ok and sending positive energy to anyone who isn’t
ducklings rudely ignored their grounding, arriving Saturday afternoon , both are healthy and a good weight considering they were technically early. We are all home now and embracing the chaos, so depending on sleep schedules, I hope to be caught up and back in tattle real-time sometime in the next decade or so

Thanks for the new thread Kebabby G (sorry, I will never call you that again). I'll christen it with Sideboard Cat. Does anyone else's catto sometimes have their tail poking out from under their chest when in loaf formation or is mine just weird?

Husband has had a car accident. He’s fine (well apart from being a bit stiff) but the car is written off.
He beeped a defender that pulled out of a driveway right in front of him so the defender slammed his brakes on. Husband swerved to avoid hitting him and hit a lamppost instead. The other driver stopped, got out of his car and started screaming abuse at him
he’s really shaken.
The other driver called the police who were not impressed to be called out and made it known that they were aware of how the accident occurred but without dash cam footage, nothing could be done.
It was a car my husband had wanted for years. Only small, quite old, used as a runaround but one that made him smile every day. He’d only had it 6 months but said it was the best car he’d ever had. I’ve said the important thing is he’s ok but he’s so, so shaken. He’s a really careful driver and has never had an accident.
Master Froggies has kept the number plate, sobbed a lot and written a card to the car

This post is going to read like a Jack self obsessed diatribe, but I think I have earned it. 
Shall I call it "Biopsies" in honour of Jack's "Potatoes"?
Thanks for all the lovely messages. I've been sent home (well at my partner's parents, they live darn sarf) They are lovely, but I am looking forward to going home later today. There's nothing like your own surroundings when you're feeling sorry for yourself.
All went ok, decided I wouldn't have general anaesthetic and had a nerve blocker.
It was embarrassing, painful and traumatic. I have had loads of operations in the past, but always chosen to have a general....I will in future too. They needed to take 28 biopsy samples in all as I have chosen to allow them to use some for research purposes. If I can help them improve the situation for the future, it's the least I can do.
The procedure normally last 20 minutes, but it took nearly 2 hours as it was carried out by a doctor undergoing training (I agreed to this, of course). At the end of it all I passed out, before they had even started to remove the "equipment"
. I woke up with a crash team and about 20 people around my bed. No heart attack, just blood pressure plummeting, and I felt such a fool.
I'm still in a bit of pain and I'm bleeding like a stuck pig, but it is apparently what to expect for 2-3 weeks! The block wore off after 24 hours and painkillers are only effective to some degree, but it is all relative.
The NHS and it's staff are amazing. Glad it's over, and apprehensive about the results and future treatment, but I truly couldn't have had better care.
Thanks again to everyone for their lovely messages. You are all a bunch of mithering ninnies.
I have not ventured to this thread before, Jack's takes up so much time! It looks like this one doesn't move too fast though.

Re the kids, I’ve had the same thing before... I kind of left it with another (ex bfs) family member to tell the child that I still really cared for them, and then once things had cooled down a bit I was able to maintain a relationship with them that has lasted many years. We’re still in contact regularly now, without me ever having to deal with the dad (apart from the odd special occasion). Not sure how helpful that is, but I know how heartbreaking it is to love someone else’s child and feel like they’ll wonder where you are. I always tell my children, when they’re getting all existential, that love doesn’t go anywhere. If love has been given and received, even if that person isn’t around anymore, the love still exists.

Even on the Sali Hughes threads people who have put all that shit on their face get bored with it, then give up and just wash it with a wet flannel in the end. It’s all marketing palaver.
Although I do have a quartz roller because it feels lovely on your face (or on your feet on a hot day)

My relative isn’t going to pull through. I said goodbyes and got home for a rest, as I’ll need to be back in a few weeks for the funeral. I’ll probably be having a grunk, but if you don’t see me around, that’s why.
Unfortunately, when someone who is as sensitive and thoughtful as Silver is called a ‘stalker’ and someone who damages Jack’s mental health (by an outside account who also ‘obsessively’ screenshots) - AND with ‘proof’ of other members who seem to be in agreement with this view of her, or laughably think that she’s a moderator in control of the thread - this means that a lovely poster who is important to how the thread works (as in helps to provide a coherent record of all Jack’s - a public figure on social media - claims and untruths) doesn’t feel welcome to post. And that makes me sad because what’s the point when you want people to be directed to Tattle after Jack’s latest rants, only to be confused with multiple screenshots of the same thing / out of order replies and tweet threads. (Not a criticism, and speaking for myself here, I am rubbish at screenshots and can’t navigate Twitter at all).
If that account and the handful of people he appears to communicate with are so unhappy with Tattle / members like Silver / the moderators, then don’t post here. It’s not a paid for service, you don’t have to feel supercilious and above it. The irony is, he seems to devote his time to ragging members here (plus Go Henry squig, who blocked him, among others who also have) yet he can’t seem to keep away. He keeps signing up and taking part. If he sees Tattle and its members as so completely below him, so amateurish an operation, then beetle off to mumsnet. This site is not a service, you choose to post here and be a part of it. Amusing how he keeps making new profiles and coming back to grease up to everyone.
Again, I’m sorry to derail this lovely thread.

Ooo, we need a new thread. This is quite good because I can put my whinging here and maybe it will disappear quite quickly. Sorry, I have nowhere else that feels safe enough to get this out.
Sorry everyone. I don't have a place for any of that and I am really, really struggling to be the things I am supposed to be and not scream at people. It is like my truth and my history and my experience is being erased. I am sure I am being very selfish, and sorry for bringing it here, but you are all v sensible people and as daft as it is, I feel safe to say it here.
I am trying to be supportive of all the people who need supporting after my ex-husband's death. This is not about my daughter - she is 15 and he was her dad and I am prepared for the rewriting of history that I think is temporarily necessary and completely understandable.
But if I have to go on social media and read one more thing about how he was a 'character' but basically a decent bloke I may explode. He was not. He was cruel and drunk and unkind about ALL OF THE PEOPLE currently being sad on their feeds about him being gone. I will never ever open my mouth to tell anyone this in RL, but EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON, especially in his family, who is currently feeling like shit because he selfishly drank himself to death, he would slag off to me all the time when we were married. He did not 'love his family', he was not 'supportive of you' in your time of need - I talked him in to behaving like a decent human being for 5 fucking minutes because that was the right thing to do. He was selfish and mean and abusive and felt that his life had been ruined by events that had happened when he was young and he blamed you all for it and looked down on you all. I do not think you deserved any of that. I love you all, but he fucking did not.
Oh, also, special mention to his ex-girlfriend from his teens who he got back together with for a bit after we split. If you are going to spend a weekend afternoon on Facebook posting maudlin (and I assume alcohol assisted) posts about your precious memories of a wonderful man, here are my thoughts...
1. Cognitive dissonance much. I can remember the long conversations I had with you after you split up because he was just as much of a cunt to you as he was to me. And, you know, all the fucking grim cider drinking. And the stalking you. And the emotional manipulation.
2. If you really have to do it, please don't fucking tag my 15 year old daughter in your posts while you are. She doesn't need to see your grief or sad little remembrances of when you were young and stupid. She is not part of your process, she did fucking mind, and you fucked her evening up and made her feel like you fucking ambushed her grief. Grow the fuck up.

Date update - scroll by if I am boring you all.
He texted today to say that he was sorry that the date ended awkwardly (it didn't, he walked me back to my car and we said goodbye and thanked each other for a lovely afternoon). Then he said (by text) that he wanted to kiss me goodbye yesterday. NB: Fraus I wanted him to kiss me.
So, we are both single households and are looking at the 'rules' and think we can form a bubble or meet outside for a walk. He has just texted to say that he cant wait to see me again and the sooner the better.
He makes me laugh with his witty, intelligent and considered texts. He is tall and has a lovely smile.

Fraus I have some great news.... after a weekend of waiting in agony I have been offered the job
It's goodbye toxic agency and hello working in house for an organisation whose aims and values I truly support and align with mine. I'm very emotional considering I was on a zero hours minimum wage job 4 years ago, and really struggling month to month (not to sound like JM lol). But I never thought I'd get this far in my career.
