Prepare for your big fruit shit show = #thread title nomination (is that ok? we're almost at 500 posts)Don't want to shit on her parade but why doesn't she get a teas made then She can set an alarm for every hour and hot tea will be made fresh to order. I have one and it's a god send. Sometimes I set it throughout the day of Im super busy and have tea ready to pour with minimal effort.
Also please someone talk her our if talking about that poor girl, you don't know what she went through mainly because no one really knows yet.
Do some cleaning and watch some reruns of this morning to prepare for you're big fruit shit show.
I thought Jay Rayners tweet was genuine and tbh I really liked it. It hit the right tone at the time anyway. He was acknowledging that he understands how it can be given he is a big bloke etc. if he is walking behind a female. There’s only so much people can do // say as this isn’t on forefront of any of our minds every minute of every day and we are all shocked and saddened beyond belief about this case. This week actually I’ve nearly deleted all my socials as the H&M thing and now this has just made my head implode. Also the 1% pay rise thing for NHS staff has made me a bit confused because actually as an NHS worker I just feel so grateful to have a secure job and wish the country could all work together to support everyone in dire need and struggling. SM is so rife with “commentators” but we can all be the same at times and it’s just timing does your head in reading some stuff sometimes. The world is just truly shit. Sorry if this doesn’t make senseWhen I saw her ‘Thanks’ to blue ticker Jay Rayner, it made me feel angry. I was unsure if it was just because Jack irritates me and I was being unfair to be annoyed by her ‘thanks‘.
You have both articulated exactly why this was infuriating, this place really does often articulate my thoughts in a clear and succinct manner!
I’ve felt quite sick too - this awful feeling of foreboding. Is it more shocking because we’re in lockdown? Or that the news is practically playing out in real time? That’s before we even add in the suspect is a cop.I actually feel quite sick.
Exactly this. I felt similarly when it came to BLM. It smacks of the male saviour/white saviour complex, doesn’t it? And for JM to use black emojis when she’s white...that’s not solidarity. That’s just taking the piss. Fair enough if it’s coming from a good place and wanting to be better informed, but jumping on the bandwagon isn’t something I can deal with. Sorry - not wanting to make this about race/talk about ME at all, just saying that I empathise, from the standpoint of someone who has been discriminated against, albeit for very different reasons.Can all men just shut up for one second and share women's voices instead? Why couldn't Jay Rayner have retweeted the countless women saying the exact thing. I have seen so many hot takes by men positioning themselves as allies and driving heaps of engagment instead.

Hilarious.
I have given her a likeI think it's going to be potatoes level bad
I thought Kirsty Strickland's tweet was good yesterday
I'm not sure regret is an emotion she's familiar with. Nor is shame. Both involve self-reflection.If she makes this all about herself in the way it sounds like she’s about to, I think she’ll deeply regret it.
I read her family are from York. So living in London she likely wouldn't have seen them much at all this past year. I think that's what makes it especially cruel and upsetting because I imagine she was looking forward to seeing her parents. To have someone decide to take a life now of all moments, when we are all struggling to survive....I can't even fathom it.I’ve felt quite sick too - this awful feeling of foreboding. Is it more shocking because we’re in lockdown? Or that the news is practically playing out in real time? That’s before we even add in the suspect is a cop.
Jacktopic - DON’T
Same here, it's just a minefield of sensitive and painful experiences mixed with cynicism and a few people piling on the end of the bandwagon for likes. Just hoping that this time the whole process actually leads to a better situation for women rather than just fading away when the next important issue hits the headlinesI agree. I've come off of Twitter for a bit because last night I got a couple of replies from blokes that were like....'well, statistically....'
Just not getting it at all. Having a break from socials.
