So this Breakdown mag thing is new, Patreon funded and they've thought it's a good idea to get Jack onboard Wowza
I've had some awful, dark times with my mental health in life and would in theory find something like a magazine focused on mental health quite useful. It's just when I think of myself at my lowest ebb and opening such a publication and seeing Jack Monroe goggling back at me I go off the idea a bit. It's like suffering an awful bereavement and someone trying to cheer you up with a whoopee cushion.

Seems kinda nuts to me that Jack Monroe needed to take this work considering how already BUSY she is, but um ok I guess

This is the Jack effect! Somehow manages to turn communists into capitalists and allies into enemies! She's a right wing plant!!!

I don't see why they can't have a thread. I'd stick it in bloggers, not that I have any clue who it is, just because the categories are very loose and it sounds like there's a good crossover with Jack. And bloggers is not bursting unlike the other categories

So if Hattie is ONLY looking to commission BIPOC writers why has Jack taken the job?

Check your white MC privilege, Jack.

...and is neither BIPOC or disabled. Another platform stolen from the marginalised by a sharp elbowed middle class larper.

ETA: £80 sits well within the permitted work rules for someone claiming ESA. This would have been such a good opportunity for someone who really needs the break to test the water by doing a bit of work that can be done from home without risking their benefit claim.

She’s got a Mediterranean arse and is white as mayonnaise, you vile troll!

This has to be bullshit, doesn’t it. No school would treat “being famous” as a job. They might, possibly, have asked her to talk about being a blogger - but even that I doubt. At a secondary school maybe, not a primary school

Wouldn't that line of thought make David Tennant and Dominic West serial killers? It's just pretending, I agree.

I mean, if she is insistent on wedging herself into the disabled category OK, but I'm 100% certain there are many other people who match the criteria could have taken this opportunity, considering Jack's already heavy workload.

I imagine her large Twitter following is a perk for this new magazine but that's just unfair, and is how Jack manages to get most if not all of her work tbh

I dunno about you guys but this hissy fit came awfully close on the heels of all of us discussing her TV 'career'.

I've written many 'lovely to work with you!' emails to complete nightmares out of politeness. But word always gets around. Most people who receive negative feedback who are good at their jobs, have the good grace to be mortified. The ones who are awful and know it, react as Jack has. Lashing out like a child.

If you're wondering why you don't get repeat business, look no further than how you responded to this critique......

So many options for thread title and she’s suggested them all herself. Not just a maverick in the kitchen, Jack!


What a day in Jack Land. Poor Pocahontas.
