argh ive noticed this has become a thing with food instagrammers recently. One local food influencer I follow (who is AWFUL and would deserve a Tattle thread if she were more relevant) is constantly moaning about the audacity of people asking for restaurant recommendations in her DMs. what exactly do you expect people to DM you about? You need a fawning message telling you how great you are first? The pay off is that you get #gifted meals you ungrateful knob
I think as well, she’s quite a convenient scapegoat for them. If they publish something (her description of the foster children for example or a recipe that doesn’t work) that doesn’t go down well, they have how well-known (
) she is to fall back on and can also point to her repeated claims of trolling to pretend like it’s not actually a valid criticism of how little research the journalist has done, people are just going after poor smol Jack.ETA: in Uni I once helped set up the GCHQ stall at the careers fair, does this mean I can claim to be James Bond??
Is there an opposite version of imposter syndrome? If so, she MUST have it. I did a PGCE ten years ago. Couldn’t tell you anything about it now except I did it and remember a handful of lessons I taught. Still can’t teach or do long division. Would never DREAM of inserting myself into a current conversation about them on SM or if I was a public figure as I know my knowledge is so behind current trends and dated. My ten year old experience of one year is not relevant to today’s PGCEs. You want to know about what’s going on with them now, you ask the current students and schools. Ask the current uni lecturers. Not someone who did one a decade ago! Arghhhhh!! She just... boggles my mind.
She changes her bio at least once a week, but can be as much as 4 times a day. Not even joking.
She does it to tag herself into whichever cause celeb is trending to ride the death out of a bandwagon.
Autism, poverty, ED, adhd, single mother, lesbian, Trans, Greek, Irish, Firemanlady. All are interchangeable, same with the emojis.
She is vile.
Synaesthesia person here too *waves*
Pretty quickly learned to shut up about it after getting utter piss taken at every opportunity.
Also fed up with 'what does 'two' look like'

I've never known someone to change their Twitter bio so much. I only changed mine when I completely changed career, and even then, it took me months to get around to doing it.
I agree. She uses certain labels to centre herself in a conversation, or as a shield from criticism. If there's a lot of talk about foodbanks and FSM it'll be 'ex-foodbank user', if there's a thing in the news about autism, then that'll be the thing she leads off with. It's gross.
She claims to have lost loads of Moleskine notebooks filled with recipes in her moves too
The Year 7 lesson currently going on in the Tunnel house involves why you can’t uncook an egg.
Everything is slowly sliding downhill.

These women setting up foundations, making people aware of FGM and striving to make the world less tit for females. Remarkable, gutsy and inspiring.
Then there's Jack, social campaigner. I guess there wasn't enough room to mention all the bandwagons she shouts from.
Squiggles Arising! This was on the back of a story about Marcus Rashford. Clearly lurkers.
She's a chameleon isn't she? Changing her stance to fit the current narrative to gain likes, validation and money.
You are certainly living up to your username today.
Cabal working hard in the name of truth.
Sofas?
I live next to a river, can I put 'Part-Time Otter' in my Bio?
Because dressing for the job you want, not the job you have would be great.

Where did she buy the new sofas from again?Sofas?
ETA one was from Made but can’t remember the squashy one...
It would be Moleskine notebooks wouldn't it? Can't just pop to Wilko and buy notebooks for £1. They have to be ridculous hipster notebooks that cost about £15 for the small ones. If she bought the special recipe books they're about £25 each.She claims to have lost loads of Moleskine notebooks filled with recipes in her moves too
I once filled up the paper tray in our research office printer (R.I.P. interaction with other people): just added “IT technician” to my Twitter bio. That’ll be £26k a year, please, uni.
I don't even get why this is annoying, or something that deserves a public rant?? Are these people really so entitled that they can't do something as simple as giving a fan a recommendation?? Takes less than 5 minutes, and wins you the support of someone who's probably paying you to sit on your arse and eat/review/take pretty pictures etc etc - and moaning about it only makes you look like a prick!
Nice one! When I was 14 I did work experience with a tragic record company that were trying to make a male pop band called 'The Knights' happen. Guess I can include music producer on my CV now?
I can understand the bigger ones having some sort of general disclaimer that they can’t reply to everyone (especially the ones who either are just them or at least are pretending to be), but the ranting at people who have sent one message asking something has always seemed really odd to me. Even if someone was being overly persistent/entitled to an answer, surely you’d just block their account and move on.
