I've spoken about this before but what a lovely podcast Kitchen Cabinet is. Since it's hosted by her 'Dad', the lovely Jay Rayner, who normally doesn't stand for any bullshit, you'd think she'd be invited on it. It's very much her niche, except that the guests make really interesting, sometimes daft suggestions about how to use up ingredients.

Yeah, it’s hard. I know, why don’t we all trigger eachother and wallow in it and make it all seem helpless rather than using a potentially large platform to guide people towards helpful resources?

Personally I manage my CO parenting by handing my child over to their other parent.

Tit.

I tj
I am actually in shock at her tweet about regretting changing her name.

It's like the ultimate example of privilege in action that she compares herself to Poorna Bell and Kamala Harris, two women of colour who didn't change their first names, who grew up in (I am assuming here) white, english speaking communities where their names were another thing along with skin colour that marked them as different, and along comes Woe Is Me Monroe, who is "whiter than mayo" or whatever she called herself, middle class, comfortable upbringing to white parents in the south east of England, and her contribution to the conversation is "waaaaaaah, poor me, I regret my decision which I made of my own volition to change my name from " Melissa" every day."

Well that's not what you've said before!?!

She can't let anyone else BE can she? Literally every thing in the universe must be seen through the lens of how this effects Jack Monroe.

I just can't with this bullshit today.
I think she means her last name.

I wish a squiggle would ask her why Bubble Buddy isn't contributing to the bills.

There will be a punchbag delivered to her publisher’s office within the week I’m sure. Why even mention such a specific thing if you weren’t expecting somebody to send you one?
