She has NOW said on the SEB podcast that she went to the food bank ONCE, there was a woman there
It sure ain’t her first, how can writing be your job when you constantly mangle the language?
I’ve sat on tribunals and sometimes it has been really hard not to say “you mean they actually want you to do your job”.
And that bleedin' Greta Thunberg too, claiming autism. Jack must be feeling robbed right now.
That sounds difficult and frustrating, I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with it all your life. Many a time I’ve sat scrolling through Tattle at 4am wondering ‘what is life?!’ ... lack of sleep really does screw you over. Whether that be from medical conditions or incessantly searching your own name on Twitter til the early hoursI don't take beta blockers, but do get mirtazapine and zopiclone on the same prescription.I have diagnosed insomnia though, since I was born. I'm one of those freaks that barely ever sleeps, even with sleeping tablets in me. I take olanzapine as well as those two, and still, no sleep! lol. Literal madness!
Are there penalties for impersonating a fire fighterShe does it so people write lazy stuff like this that she never corrects.

Cladding used on Grenfell Tower ‘may have made fire worse’
Rainscreen cladding, which was added during the Kensington tower block's refurbishment, can act as a 'chimney' for fires because of its ventilated cavities.www.google.ae
Big 'precocious child stuck to the thesaurus' vibes with her tbf
I can relate totally to what you've said.
I think we might find that the book chapter will soon be further edited after she reads the comments about her writing on here.
That's got to be a thread title somewhere..
It can be frustrating, but I'm so use to it at this point, I wouldn't be able to fit every thing I like to do in a day if I was actually sleeping 6-8 hours a day like I should lol! You just have to learn to work around such things imo. Something Jack needs to learn!That sounds difficult and frustrating, I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with it all your life.

I've said it before that she is an awful advocate for the 'things that matter to her' who only succeeds in rehashing stereotypes, reinforcing stigmas and spreading really bloody unhelpful information. I really worry that it is having negative impacts on impressionable people who maybe don't have the resources or access to information to consider all the options available to them. The fact that no one bothers to do an ounce of checking or even considering what she says (I'm one of those that emailed the Guardian after the feral children comment) is even more infuriating.
I work in Pharmacy
and there is a trend at the moment of trying to get people with anxiety onto a beta blocker and off a Benzodiazepine (because they are crazy addictive). I take Propranolol for a racing heart/palpitations caused by anxiety but like you say, I had to have an ecg to rule out any possible other causes.Agreed. Also it’s very hard to normalise for the huge economic / social shifts between generations when we think about what we consider to be comfortable or wealthy? Like we all know how much easier it was to buy property even pre crash where 100/110% mortgages were a thing, property has gone from 4 x the avg income to 8x over decades. It’s very difficult to even rent a flat as an individual in most cities, even if you’re on a high income you want to save for a 10/20% deposit. The difference the bank of mum and dad can make / increasing inequalities. But then life is very very different for us now and quality of life is arguably better in a lot of ways, we tend to buy more (& more disposable stuff), have more credit available, foreign travel is more accessible, even the sorts of foods we eat, etc etc etc. This obviously isn’t a well cited piece of research and I can only speak as a millennial but just anecdotally if she’s comparing herself to parents who’ve got multiple properties and final salary pensions then ofc she’ll feel like Oliver Twist. If she gets out the 50s and compares herself to her peer group she’ll realise she is in the top 5%, it’s not anyone’s fault she’s chosen not to utilise that cash to her long term gain?!
Yes that is the first time we heard that I think.
I saw the 'suspected heart attack' story on the archive of her blog. It showed her with her shirt open with ECG pads and wires. Not that the photo proves anything. I've had a couple of ECGs. One was because I had a panic attack just before a doc's appointment, so heart rate was going a bit mad. The other was a routine thing due to medication. So yeah, could be anything really.
Yep. And austism is a popular one because if anyone calls you out on any inconsistencies it's "everyone is different!" "autism is different for women!" I'm the parent to an autistic child, and would get accused of 'gatekeeping' if I called out anyone whose story sounded dodgy.First of all, big hugs about your health problems, that must have been terrifying at all points, and hope you are coping with any issues it brings up
Secondly, Jack seems part of the self diagnosis trend that SM created. The amount of people who proclaim to be sick with whatever they've read online this week, really infuriates me. No one calls them out on it because it's not a hill worth dying on considering how nasty they become (had experience of this). Self diagnosers are always so vocal, they run off googled symptoms, contradictory issues, and must always be the sickest person in the convo. It honestly makes me scream! Jack is part of that bandwagon. It's bloody insulting to those who genuinely have these problems.
