you know what, I went to The List to check what I had about her "routine" and I realised I didn't have anything! 😱 although she does ask for suggestions so often, but never says she'll implement anything. anyway, a weekly routine is On The List.

I also realised I can kinda tick off Brand New Desk System what with the wallpaper.

It's been something.I don't think I've laughed this much since she tweeted from inside a skip.
I find it super depressing. Like, not just Jack, but the way the people lap this kind of tit up on twitter. It really makes me despair!

Yikes is all I have left to say. I don't care what she has, doesn't have, identifies as, none of it matters. She is awful, awful, awful. The sneakiness, deceptiveness, the lies, the delusions. She picks and chooses her pronouns (and opinions) as she sees fit. You can go look up one of her interviews in recent years, she pointedly tells the journalist to use she/her as it better fits the piece.

I wonder how far back she had to trawl to find four positive comments?
And unless these comments were from the actual people who make decisions about future work (and they don't read that way), it means nothing. It’s just like when the DKL team apparently told her she was doing a great job (so she said) - they were just pandering to someone extremely needy and difficult with a colossal ego, that’s all it was. Happens in media/showbiz all the time.

Sorry I legit can't get over her saying she masks.

She never stops going on about it and uses it to deflect all criticism?

How is that masking? Sorry if I have got this wrong and I am happy to be corrected, but that to me is not masking?
I agree. She just says what suits her at the time. She says she's masking when she wants to look marginalised, and yet she clearly believes it's unmasked to the extent she can blame her misdemeanours on it. I don't understand.

I feel queasy here. I’m actually autistic. Sia took a huge tit on the autistic community this morning, calling us worked up haters and centring it all around how upset she was and how unfair we’re being by telling her what the community thinks. Honestly, good on JM for having a go. Honestly, people should have a right to self-diagnosis autism, too.

But boy oh boy and hey does “describe my particular brand of chaos” rub me the wrong way. Christ. Is she aware non-“famous” people get attacked on Twitter for saying things about autism? Is she aware of how much overall hate and ableism has been on display over the last 24 hours with this bullshit Sia “special abilities” movie? Why she moving the spotlight back to herself? Why delete tweets and then announce it? It doesn’t make sense. She just doubled down on those tweets.

I’m partially non-speaking. I’m some nobody with a few dozen followers on Twitter and even I’m incredibly careful about discussing autism to not centre issues around just my experience. Because I occupy a huge position of privilege within the autistic community. I can write and communicate. I can even speak very well (in short spurts). That is why I’m so keen to listen to others.

Christ, I’m just blown away at this childishness. Autism suits your brand? We can’t question it because it is too like your special, whimsical chaos? I could give a duck whether JM’s actually autistic or not. It’s the way she’s discussing it. As if she isn’t claiming status in a highly marginalized group, with substantial barriers to society, that is constantly being talked over and dismissed. Whatever, the gall, etc. Yikes.
Welcome xxx I hope you find a safe space here.
Despite a bad rep we're actually a very loving and supportive group x
