Whaa?

She has lost 100 followers in the last hour or so, and I think a hundred more before that this evening.

Once, out of morbid curiosity, I viewed Jack Monroe singing Lsndslide

My husband who I consider to be impartial as he doesn't know who Jack is, said who the fuck is that? Do they think they can sing? Csn you switch it off please

reaction to Jack’s singing is how I filter out potential partners . Pretend it’s part of a random YouTube playlist , and if there response is vaguely positive, then there is no second date! If they remain silent , I push with a casual do you know of their work question . Got to weed out the weirdos early

She has had several thousand join up over the last few days. If this is the first time they have looked closely at what she posts I am not surprised that a few of them (relatively) are going 'no thanks'.

A lot of "I'm leaving Twitter forever because Elon Musk", most likely rather than anything Jack-specific.

On the book chat, Lowborn by Kerry Hudson features extensive, grim descriptions of the type of seafront 'B&B' dear DEAD Grandpappy was running and Jack was waxing lyrical about just recently.

Which is to say, either Jack's not read it or, more horrifyingly, it made her nostalgic for those days...

I think Jack’s actual target audience, not her pretend target audience of poors, can well afford to spunk money on books

After all they can afford to give her money for nothing in return and stuff tenners in her tip jar and buy nasty hoodies.

Do you think people really message her? And in the middle of the night? To talk about their local services for poverty? Rather than actual organizations like Christians Against Poverty?

Honestly, going by some of the recent squigs and how obsessive people are about her? Maybe. Which is pretty devastating really.

Honestly, I wouldn’t message someone who says they are exhausted and work 100 hour weeks. And calls themselves disorganized.

Possibly some Twitter randoms but she really should have worked out how to deal with that by now by getting together the resources to signpost people to proper sources of support and advice. There is no requirement for Jack to be answering DMs in the middle of the night.

Didn’t a squig recently say she’s messaged Jack for support/advice and Jack hadn’t even acknowledged it ?
