Jack Monroe #155 What a sad little life, Jack

[heretoreaditall2019]

If she’s ex fire service by proxy of her retired father why doesn’t she add multi property landlord to her bio too...

 

[MaineCoonMama]

She's part shark!! That explains those eyes.

 

[Harrybosch]

I don't understand it either. Is she implying her teacher altered her DNA? Or broke her brain like this is breaking my brain?

I think it means that English teachers are like those cats in hospices who can tell who is going to die next. They have an innate sense of who is neurodivergent or queer and signal it to the wider community by having lunch with you if you are. Makes perfect sense.

"hi, I'm jack monroe, author, writer, notachef, accidental conqueror of fears, smol pixie, campaigner, poet, founder of #thunderclapforcarersnevermentionitagain, socialist who just happens to really like designer bags, scarves, luxury furniture, fine art, ali express necklaces, horrible tattoos, hanging out with tories, landlords and I'm entitled to an enormous forever home bought outright in a nice part of town. socialists deserve nice things too and keep the capitalist system going and if you disagree with me you need to get to fuck and you're all flag shagging gammons, especially all you twats on tattle, despite the vast majority of you being more left-leaning than me now fuck off and #bekind and leave me alone

now, I'm going to sing landslide"

There's a few reasons she could be giddy

A) Her books gone in (unlikely)

B) She has been given another extension to the deadline (possible)

C) Her son is at his dad's and she is getting ready for luurrrrvvv with BB (I'd rather not think about that)

D) She has got some TV work (even less likely)

E) She has bought a house (another possible)

F) She is an insufferable narcissist that thrives on the attention she is getting after she has been starved of it for 24 hours whilst attempting to finish her book (BINGO)

I have spent far too much time this afternoon reading Guardian articles featuring Jack. The comments underneath make you fear for the human race. A great example of a Jack supporting squiggle comment:-

"Jack is famous for her recipes, ideas, and ability to feed herself and her child for £10 per week without crap food. She made the recipes up herself, they are delicious and nutritious.

She makes all of those fat people living on benefits, feeding their fat children with chips and burgers and the like saying they don't have enough money to feed themselves, look total idiots."

This is what is so wrong with her supporters, they see truly poor people as, well I refuse to repeat it. If my supporters talked about benefit claimants this way this one did, I would be ashamed. This one is similar to many in the same vein. This is in a left-ish wing paper, Imagine what would be the comments in the Daily Mail.

If I saw this out of context... it looks like the Swamp of Sadness from Never Ending Story.

 

[Emmapism]

I always think that whenever I post a letter because my Dad was a postie.

'Second generation, yo'

Oh no wait I don't because I'm not a ridiculous bellend.

 

[Flash123]

Fraus,

I’ve done a chaos and caught Covid in a week where I have some upcoming deadlines. I haven’t been on a yomp to the chippy as am isolating even though I would love some chippy chips.

 

[MancBee]

Jack was willing to put on two pairs of knickers to tame her unruly labia, and dress up like Sally Bowles to work a bar. But wouldn't put on a skirt for an hour for a passing out parade.

The woman spouts nonsense.

 

[I’MBUSY!]

Squiggles Arising! This was on the back of a story about Marcus Rashford. Clearly lurkers.

 

[waffle maker]

If only there was a widely understood word she could use that meant that a dish contained no meat but was not vegan.

 

[MarzBarzie]

Nice one, Kach.

She’s posted the rando her old dress btw.

What the actual fucking fuck? I know I’m kinda new around here, but has she actually, like actually right now, changed her bio to say ‘ex fire service’ because she’s feeling delusions of grandeur / superiority in referencing it in conversation just now?

What a funny little human being she really is.

 

[Scarletfever]

Loving the tooth chat. Both my kids currently have braces. Missing the NHS- I’ve spent the equivalent of £2000 on each, and this is the cheapest possible way at a dental school.

Good point on Jack probably being in Unison- non teaching staff in schools aren’t in the teaching unions, it would be same at fire service I’m sure. Looked it up, ‘control’ is a category on the application form https://www.fbu.org.uk/download/file/fid/4491

#SureJack you could be a teacher.... I’ve supervised various PGCE and NQT (and GTP) students over the years. She would have to meet deadlines and not be a dick to pass. When she had jobs in cafes etc she seemed to describe burning through loads of them- never a good sign.

For new Fraus here are highlights of 2015 new statesman Fire Service article.

Being non-binary: I’m not A Girl Called Jack any more, but I’m not a boy either

The food writer Jack Monroe on coming out as transgender, and why they are one of an increasing number of people living outside the categories of “man” and “woman”.

No Jack, before you left you were not training hard to move to the fireground, revelling in your hard masculine body, you were only just back at work after a c-section and according to the latest story iteration, were so stressed managing work and childcare you had a breakdown!

Her not attending her passing out parade because she was having a prima donna tantrum speaks volumes. Her attitude just stinks and it would have been hurtful to her dad especially.

No wonder Essex Fire and Rescue were glad to see the back of her.

There was a photo of her wearing a blazer and skirt in one of those "skint blogger" early photos at a local event which wouldn't have been that long after leaving the fire service. She doesn't look as she describes herself in this article - not muscular, no buzz cut.

What a shock, Jack is lying again.

celery, southend

I'm sorry

This poor baby bear. Clearly couldn’t survive without its mama

 

[colouredlines]

This brave penguin made it all the way to the northern hemisphere before sadly perishing. Nature is a cruel mistress.

I don’t even understand the tweet.

I mean, I understand all the individual words, but...

What a way to come up with a neurodivergent diagnosis/statement of sexuality.

Weird. And damaging.

Slightly OT but I remember being in Year 6 at primary school and being a lunchtime monitor for one of the reception classes. It was a nice little job - myself and a friend would help the teacher organise bits and bobs, like worksheets, and do things like sharpening pencils. I was bullied terribly at primary school by one girl in particular and being able to eat my lunch in the peace and quiet of a classroom was a lifeline. The friend I was a lunchtime monitor with ended up being banned from the role (I think it was a punishment for her being cheeky to a teacher or something similar) so I continued doing the job alone. The teachers always used to ask me whether I wanted to be outside but how do you explain as a child that sharpening pencils is far better than someone telling you how ugly you are or leaving you out of games with the other pupils? I used to love sitting there and listening to the chatter of the teachers and TAs (I think that's why I love Radio 4 and 5live now). I found it very comforting.

Her liking that Tweet plays into the meek misunderstood mouse character. I'm sorry if that was her experience at school because I know how it feels but she can't be making out that she had NO friends at school?
