Silver Linings

Just fell into a google hole trying to find her inserting herself into the Jo Cox aftermath (including finding my own post from way back when on here mentioning it), and found this. I don’t remember seeing it at the time and it is so retrospectively weird that she did this.

Food writer Jack Monroe transforms old shed into DIY kitchen in just 48 hours

The cook said it's one of the most 'radical acts of self-care' she has ever done.

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

She was indeed murdered. She was a British Labour MP who was murdered by a White Nationalist terrorist.

I had to refresh my memory but I do remember when it happened. Oh no, Jack was involving herself... Might get some fresh air for 5 minutes before I delve in to this.

I never understood why she took him along or why she uploaded the photos to her Instagram.

I can imagine her comparing herself to Cox and scaring the boy. It was everywhere, even young kids knew about. He'd have had somewhat of an understanding that a woman was stabbed for her views - and Jack's so fond of mentioning all the death threats she apparently gets - it wouldn't take much in a kids head to put two and two together and think mamma might be next

Sometimes I wake up and think to myself...imagine if she had simply kept her job at the fire service!

Imagine if the first journalist to notice her bothered to do some basic fact checking.

So she made a huge fuss about wearing a skirt for a couple of hours (after signing a contract agreeing to a dress code) thus trying to make the whole occasion all about her. If this was typical of her attitude to being a team player I think we can understand the swiftness with which her resignation was accepted.

I swear she just fell asleep with her face on that electric blanket she put on the sofa.

P.S. I counted my teeth too and I have 32. I feel so standard!

Was it this article? https://www.theguardian.com/society...woman-or-a-man-interview-transgender-identity

There's also a passing mention here, as she was talking about returning to labour: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/apr/22/jack-monroe-twitter-labour-vegan-pub-food

Misbehaving

Yes I really agree with this and that's what makes it so problematic because why is she deemed to be the acceptable or if you will photogenic face of poverty? While others who genuinely struggle are sidelined and are not given media coverage?
I have often thought that really it's not Jack that I really have a problem with its the media who I think have given her this position not based on merit but because she represents their idea of a trendy fashionable person (holier than thou almost untouchable because of the big list of everything that makes her a self proclaimed victim?) who spouts the usual moral outrage not against poverty but against bad things happening to special people?

What's wrong in being an ordinary person down on their luck then?
Is that not considered news worthy enough?
