Hats off to
@traumatised sideboard! Not all heroes wear capes (or maybe you do wear one, who knows...).
I can't get over her claims to have cut the fringe with a RULER. Surely Craft Jack has a tape measure, which would still be weird but might make slightly more sense? But a ruler??? Apparently the Treatment is not for compulsive lying - or if it is, Jack should ask for a refund.
This appeared on my FB feed:
Demi Skipper would like a new house, but she’s not buying one. Instead she’s planning a daring strategy of trades – and millions are following her journey
www.theguardian.com
It's the story of a brave, inspirational woman on social media who is trading objects with strangers, her ultimate goal being to trade up to a house. It's tough:
“A lot of comments [about my project] are like, ‘You need to get a job’, and I’m like, Oh my gosh, if they knew I’m working like 12-hour days,” she gestures in disbelief.
And others are joining in:
Skipper hopes more and more people will trade in this way. “Trading evens the playing field more, because everyone has that bobby pin or paperclip.” Thousands of TikTokers are now tagging her project in their own pursuits for anything from cars to college tuition.
Grifting is now a legitimate career path, it seems. What a world!
