Jack Monroe #329 Pooroboros

this is a MAJOR consideration that people who want to look after animals need to realise that there will ALWAYS be sudden expenses and additional needs- health, behavioral issues, etc and if you cannot deal with those don't get an animal- simple.

I always remember that in her (monetised) memorial video for the disabled kitten, Jack included text which told us the exact amount - down to the penny - that she'd spent on the kitten's medical care.

The halcyon days of Easter came into my head this morning. Remember the not filtered photo with the pastel jumper on? She deleted that post I think, but when looking for it I pumbled stumbled across this happy post when OH was covering placemats in foil for her:

“I’m off to get ganache out of my crevices” guys it’s been chocolate under her fingernails the whole time! It’s totally fine and not at all MINGING!! Seriously how does she manage to make her food, her processes and her default state sound so unhygienic and mucky? Signed someone who’s been working all weekend and needs to do a kitchens worth of dishes x

Jack is in a bit of a quandary. Turn up at Glastonbury and abandoning puppy. Stay with pupoy, flaking out on another commitment.

My best guess, Jack turns up at Glastonbury. The £20 may have been a decoy shop - certainly random enough, even by Jack's standards, by someone else. Timing of the of the receipt posting and the claim about being too dark to post a picture of the said shop supports this theory. Jack has been there all along.

Next move, not mention it on twitter. If a squig asks, Experienced puppy sitter/I don't owe you details of my life. But yes I was at Glastonbury on Sunday - is that ok with you!!! And elaborate travel story.

Wait a few months/weeks/days/hours until squigs have forgotten and star a bit of humblebragging about singing with Billy twit.

Saw this on Twitter, so true. I do my Mum’s shop, she is quite particular in her ways, Lurpack is the only butter she will eat, she will not accept a substitute, some people are funny that way, this was priced the same in my local Tesco.

My Mum’s not extravagant in her meals, but her bills are mounting up these days, this Jack £20 shop is pure nonsense, that’s over 3rd of that £20 gone straight away, hey Jack I can’t buy her 50p of the Lurpack £20 a week doesnt even touch the sides of anyone’s budget now, it’s just Jack poverty porn performance art for her MC squigs and they all applaud along. Seriously stop it, it’s not the real world, what is this fake £20 a week achieving, just boasting how wonderful you are at helping the poors…you’re doing no such thing. How does she get away with it, mass delusion going on in Jack’s cult world, when will she really be exposed for what she actually is

I still think about that poor kitten suffering - being stuffed down her top and used as a prop. How her son might have felt when she went on and on about how the kitten was the only thing bringing her happiness. How she ignored the vets who said it would be kinder to PTS. We could all see how sick and not right she was. It wasn’t just the legs. Oh it breaks my heart.

Debate -
a formal discussion on a particular matter in a public meeting or legislative assembly, in which opposing arguments are put forward and which usually ends with a vote.
"last night's debate on Education Bill"

How is it a debate if they’re all on the same side? Surely it’s just a discussion?

Echo chamber

Left field are much more active on Instagram than Twitter by the looks of it. On Instagram they’re @glastoleftfield

I only learned about the kitten from the Wiki here but I've felt the same ever since reading it. It's horrifying that she allowed that poor little thing to suffer like that and to take pictures of it suffering is just bleeping psychopathic. And slightly OT here but my 2 year old tuxedo cat was sick last year and I wouldn't let her out of my sight in case she needed me at all. I feel sick knowing that she locked that poor kitten in a bathroom when it needed her. She's a despicable person.

 

[Whaa?]

It seems odd that the kitten was in the bathroom when the puppy is sleeping by the bed.

Perhaps she's gone to rightfield instead?

 

[Cucumberthunder]

While we wait, just seen this on twitter. Not heard of the author or the paper, but another person taken in by Jackie.

Paul McCartney probably stopped her on the way to declare her the best ever and whisper "thanks for all that you do" at her.

She forgot to pack a top with sleeves so she's currently being mobbed by adoring fans who have only recognised her because of her tattoos

Jack turning up to Glastonbury:

security guard: sorry VIPS and artists only part this point
Jack: *rolls up sleeves to reveal tattoos
Security guard:
Jack: Boo, I guess
*maniacal laughing for 10 minutes from all around **

A squig pointed out on Twitter that too many people are doing poverty shops for £20-30 and not being honest about the cost of food. I can only agree.

Jack needs to be honest about what it costs to feed herself and her pets on a budget plus have spare stuff for SB when he visits. I doubt she’d get much change from £50 if not more.

my cats get through £15-20 of food a week. I don’t buy the basics as it doesn’t get eaten but it’s still only Felix “as it looks”.

She only has one cat but she’s added a puppy which will have high energy needs. She’s not spending just £20 a week.

I spend more than that, just for me, but I do wash, go to the loo, and do laundry. This weeks non food included rubber gloves, bath foam and tin foil.

No one tells you about stuff like this when you're growing up.

The field did an insta story post 45 mins ago of the panel before hers.
