Funny you should mention Nathan Barley as I was just thinking about this the other day - this latest twitter chaos demonstrates beyond a doubt that (to quote Dan Ashcroft) “the idiots are winning”.
You just know Jack regards herself as a self facilitating media node

Why would you sign up to a Patreon who has not updated for 14 months.

and doesn’t have a working website these
Discount codes can be used on?

Sadly the types that are signing up mostly don't care/don't even want any junk shite in the letterbox from Jack. It's just their own little piece of performative poverty porn *activism* for Twitter

This is my confusion with Patreon.
I have no issue with people using it to give out content, but I will never understand how it is legal to take money for nothing.
At the very least it is scrounging, at worst it is fraud (IMO m'lud)
If you have an account and produce art, writing or even the odd recipe then fair enough. If people are dumb enough to pay for something they could Google for free then so be it.
But taking thousands a month for absolutely cock all? I will never fathom it!

Hard agree, it sounds like she was a very quick thinker and spunking the money on her children's education instead of a Cotswold collection? Bravo. Jack take take note!
I imagine divine had an actual hard life and didn’t just bitch about it.

I'm away to watch Amulet, less scary than mom's endorsement of the Vegan Bollocksausage Idiot. See you on the other side motherfuckers.

Dear heart fraus I have stayed away this week, and have managed to avoid Jack the in the media because of being out all day working at my job but have caught up today and LJC this patreon shite has given me a rage headache. WHY are people so stupid as to give this idiot money for the precise amount of fuck all. How are they so taken in by all the wank about basic ranges when she was actively promoting spending more on del monte when she was collabing with them? Oooh Im livid on a lighter note I did love all the appropriate Moz lyrics earlier

Did anyone get a Mr Frosty? I have never met anyone who did but lots of people who desperately wanted one.

Reckon it was all a massive marketing campaign and they never actually made one.
Sorry to report but we had a Mr Frosty growing up.

Feck, she's done it, now at 505 patreon subs.
At least this means she will never have to complain about never being able to afford butter again(!). Maybe this will spur her on to finally do that crowd funder for a house...

Absolutely agree, and what I am talking about doesn’t apply to Jack (seeing as she pleads poverty most of the time, spends Patreon and PayPal money shamelessly and desperately wants to own her own home).

However, people do have the choice to spend their money according to their own principles. There is a thread on here where posters go on and on about how the person in question shouldn’t “fritter their money away on shite for their home or on meals out, they should save for a holiday or a house”. But the thing is, not everyone views holidays or owning homes as status items. This person is very honest about being happy in their current home and never says they want to go on holiday. Why does it matter if people spend their money differently?

It is the same as shopping at different shops. Iceland may be filled with more processed food (which is not the devil’s creation) than other shops, but it serves an essential role in many locations and for many people. On the other hand, some people would rather economise in other areas of their lives so they can buy more expensive items in Sainsburys or M & S.

Obviously we are not talking about those with no disposable income here (which is an entirely different post) but I think it is just really easy to apply our own internalised ideals to what we think everyone wants to do in terms of spending, cooking, living, educating. Is home-owning the ideal? Is going on a holiday the ideal? Is owning most of JL? I don’t know.

This isn’t meant to be antagonistic, just a thought. Sorry if offence is taken, it isn’t meant like that.

Sadly Jay went quite early.

He told me to my face he ‘cleaves by his journalistic principles’ whilst trousering 5k for a speech and bit more. Plus all travel had to be first class. So it seems from this tweet that he couldn’t report himself lost. Old journalist term for someone’s who’s crap at the job.
