'They misrepresented me!' lied the Queen of Misrepresentation
She's so confused that she thinks being represented accurately is a misrepresentation.

Also, does Jack know not everything in the known universe has to be "thinly sliced". Yes dear we know you have a mandoline. You don't need to keep reminding us.

spiked originates from when an article is written but doesn’t make the printed paper. So Jack was asked to write something but they didn’t end up using it.
Thank you! I can completely understand a publication wanting to maintain a veneer of credibility and rejecting her overly verbose prattlings on the origin of her own personal poverty. Especially when they likely comissioned her on a different subject.

I can understand being peeved at not getting any payment at all for that, but if that's how these things work...

To think of those 30 minutes she had probably dedicated to knocking it out too - the injustice!

NOOOOO JAAAACK PLEASE DON'T BUY BUTTER...OH NO...I'M MELTING.

No one gives a fuck if you have butter or not you quarterwitted gonk on stilts. What people object to is you pretending you can't afford any to scam money out of people. None of this is difficult.

Does anyone remember in February when Jack made her own sanitiser and was going to "share the recipe soon?"

This was when Italy was going into lockdown and you couldn't get the stuff for love nor money... Of course all deleted now.

Esther Coren's blog is called On the Spike, in reference to "spiked" articles that are not published.
Ohhh, like you do with the fulfilled tickets in a cafe kitchen? The number of people who spiked their own hand on that thing when I worked in one!

She's a gaslighting prick high on attention. When does the patreon dosh roll in, does anyone know?

I knew I wasn't imagining it. Capitalising on something people were genuinely fearful about to get some social engagement and then not following through.

Generally if a story is spiked (binned ) the author is paid a kill fee ( normally 50% of the agreed fee) if they decided to not go ahead , if she didn't produce what she was asked to on the other hand she would get nothing

I mean, surely she shouldn't be hanging about with people full stop. Due to this pandemic thing, you know.

I'm really not familiar with the process of recovering from alcoholism and AA stuff myself, but from what you guys have said, isn't it a bit odd that she's deliberately trying to find things to mimic alcohol? I would have thought that increases the potential for relapse rather than moderates the urges.
