Can someone explain the alligator thing. Why does anyone want an alligator or an alligator sized bath tub? What is wrong with a human sized bath tub. Also it is cruel to keep an alligator in a bath tub. Also what if it’s a baby alligator. I am confused.

She's got the fingers of The Onion Knight. When did that happen? Fewer nails to clean now, I suppose.

You're entirely right. She's getting more and more ghoulish - remember she said recently that newspapers weren't edgy enough to print her rants about suicide? Since then she talks about it CONSTANTLY. It's horrific. Even that godawful rickets/tickets poem of hers had several descriptions of real, named people who had died by suicide (and came complete with tip jar rattle, of course).
I lost a family member to suicide, which very few people in my real life know, as it's not really a great conversation topic TBH. The thought of someone using his death to score points in an internet argument honestly turns my stomach.
This is also probably the reason why I get so particularly angry by people (usually Jack) writing about it in a very linear, cause and effect way. Suicide defies logic; it's complex, and in each case there are a number of factors that lead to it, including mental health issues which somehow always get left out of these narratives. That's why we, as responsible people, don't talk about someone being driven to suicide, or someone taking their own life because of X. It doesn't work like that, and it's stupid and irresponsible to pretend it does.

Plus, can you imagine the train CHAOS if she was allowed to drive one of the things. All those terrified passengers watching in horror as Jack strarts ripping tiles off the floor and kicking folk in the shins while the runaway train hurtles through stations without stopping. It's the worst idea she's ever had, except maybe The Pumble.
I’ve spent the last few days doing uni exams so haven’t been keeping up here. Last time I looked in it was was Vienetta hats, now it’s an ugly chaos and some kind of terrible new bit of writing that I’d rather not read thank you very much. Good news about TD though, so that’s nice. And frothing cannons? Sounds like a euphemism from a terrible fanfic where Jack Sparrow takes Orlando Bloom up the rigging.
True... But I haven't spent much on food..
And everytime I do, I divide up what I've spent and it makes it cheaper..
So a bag of chips, 5 chips each, 9.8p per portion
Too short.
Yuk.
I wonder if any of Jack's followers are going to call her out about her irresponsible writing around suicide? Seems as if she's really friendly with them, always willing to lend an ear! Oh...
She probably stayed over at someone’s house on an air bed before and there is the grain of truth.
She’s now trying to turn this whole thing into a racism issue to hide her bullshit behind people of colour. Ghoul.
But she's clearly not wearing them in a pouch as she can't stand things round her neck. Guess she too lost them in the battle of the Blackwater.
so she’s gay again now?

Are you aware of her body of work? The answer is no.
I almost snorted my glass of wine then

She didn’t say a mattress on the floor, but I alluded to it so perhaps she’s picked it up.
She said:
i said:
also: could you imagine her as a train driver? “This is your train driver speaking. You might know me as a raconteur, an orator, a campaigner, a journalist…”
and a final also on this post: she has changed what she means by white winger to suit her new narrative. I don’t set out to offend anyone when I say this but Jack could not give two flying fucks about black people or any other minority group. Jack’s main following is white middle class lefties who buy the guardian, have enough disposable income that they can sustain her lifestyle and who bought her books without any intention of cooking from them through necessity.
Earlier today she tweeted about how if she wanted to be rich she’d just go do it so I can’t imagine much is going on upstairs or she’s really aware of what work is like, or tbh the health of the economy. She’s been afforded the privilege of living in a completely different world from the rest of us for the last decade - both in working from home on Twitter but also getting paid various windfall level sums for very little work, and certainly not for any developed skill set or knowledge.
I knew someone who’s husband fulfilled his life long dream of becoming a train driver. It was hard work. The training is very tough and there is NO WAY JACK would have the concentration and ability to do it I’m afraid. I was happy to hear how tough the training was tbh as there are literally thousands of lives in their hands. But no Jack never in your unscrupulous little crappy hands.
ETA: the interview process was forensic in its rigorousness and she’d fail I’m afraid.
She really views all of her writing - ‘hunger hurts’ ‘potatoes’ ‘spaghetti-o’s’ as ground breaking literature.
THAT MAN! was just on telly, making Super Green Spaghetti from his Five Ingredient book. It was strikingly similar to Lingreenie (well, apart from looking edible and delicious) but his book was published in 2017 and her recipe came from Good Food for Bad Days, published in…..ummmmm….2020? Does she have any originality?
