Agree completely. The latest public performance hasn’t driven any more Patreons, obvs we have no visibility on PayPal donations or gifts to publishers but it’s a sinking ship. I really don’t think she’s in a good place financially and whilst her parents are in a position to financially support her, she won’t be able to sustain the extreme consumption she’s shown us (directly & indirectly!) these last 2 years. I’d be shitting it too.

A leetle to early for a thread suggestion but I'm going to bed and suspect that you will be on the next thread when I wake. Christmas song inspired and from JMs perspective

Anyone else now have an ear worm?

It’s always ‘I need it for work!’ but there are plenty of people who work in the media who don’t tweet 24/7. I don’t see how arguing over gender politics or sharing memes about Boris does anything for a person’s professional profile

Turn that kitty’s head to the side a little and that is a classic Jack pose with the giant eyes and teeth on full display.

All that Patreon and Tip Jar money is taxable income too. I doubt she has considered that.

I can hear echos of “catch yourself on, now! Quit the pity party!”
If I am honest my mum is a bit like Bernard. Lol you don't get much pity from herz especially if she knows your not putting any effort in.

If that cat story is made up, it’s genius because I can completely see this happening.

ETA I hope Pam isn’t on Twitter because the story is trending and someone will know her but I think it was dealt with very sensitively and sensibly by HR (which doesn’t always happen).

I think her attitude to veganism would be a lot less annoying if she would just be fucking honest.

A lot of people try a lifestyle change, then change their mind. Fine.

But when you go in all guns blazing, screaming about slaughterhouses and torture, and within a couple of weeks you're sharing non-vegan food on your Insta...

For a couple of years she would always lie and claim that her non-vegan dishes were for friends, or Mrs J, or SB, or recipe testing. First, what kind of cook doesn't try their own recipes as they go, to check for seasoning or whatever? Secondly, why does a vegan always have a load of eggs and tinned fish lying around the place just in case a friend pops by?

There were some vegan comments that were quite nasty on her non-vegan dishes, but the vast majority were well-meaning of the "Oh! How did you make that vegan?" or "What milk substitute did you use?" variety, and she was, without fail, a total cunt to them because she couldn't admit she'd given up on veganism.

I can really see why she became persona non grata in the vegan world.

So Jack has given her new kitten 15 nicknames in the one day she has been 'working' from home has she? Sounds legit. Definitely hasn't made that up for Twitter likes.

I'm surprised she's had time to name her at all, considering she got her on Sunday evening, spent all of Monday away from the shitty bungalow, spent all of yesterday dyeing her clothes then posting the results, and filled the remaining time with sadfishing and 16 hour dino naps.

Even veganish as a title is offensive as I understand it. You are either vegan/plant based for ethical or health reasons or both, or you enjoy vegan food as part of your overall food selection but you aren’t a vegan. You can’t be a bit vegan, it’s all or nothing. The uncompromising approach means that vegans are given a hard time but I understand why they might feel that way.
