So I have bipolar and when I was younger and would go into manic phases I would tend to be more promiscuous and date around a lot. Especially after a break up. Jack seems manic right now. It’s not a good place to be and the only place from there is down. I actually feel for her right now, but also cut the tit. Put your phone down and watch some porn or something. Just do the opposite of whatever it is you’re doing right now.

Does it not occur to her that aside from anything else, this is deeply unprofessional?
This is a good point - I’m Grunking as had a kitchen designer round, so it has perhaps been said. I think Jack sees her followers as friends, hence her page has drifted from what should be a professional account to one where she’s talking to what she sees as a room full of friends. It’s embarrassing.
i feel for her son.

When I was undiagnosed and unmedicated (ADHD) I also engaged in extremely risky and promiscuous behaviour. But Jack is - apparently- medicated, with three therapists, a supportive network and has a pre-teen son to be thinking of. She has absolutely no excuse for this frankly bleeping mental behaviour.

Also, why isn't she just doing something normal to get over this break up like buying a kilo of strawberries from Lidl and watching Wimbledon? Why does it have to be so weirdly extreme?

This is such a good. bloody. point. I’ve said before, I think some people do great things and deserve honorary doctorates, they contribute greatly. But as someone at the end of their third year of their PhD, and just started antidepressants because of the pressure - she does not deserve to even mention the honorary doctorates. Doesn’t deserve them, could never ever ever put the work in to get one. Let alone deal with the issues in academia rn!
Och, it's so hard. And it's harder now than it's ever been.

I had a conversation with one of my supervisees today who's thinking of taking some time out, so some unsolicited advice from the other side of life that I gave to her: you are more important than the doctorate. Your well-being, your health, your personal life, they're all more important than the thesis. The research you do matters, but never enough to sacrifice those things, and the more you care for yourself, the better your work is.

I hope so much that the medication is beneficial for you. Come over to the Food and Drink thread if you ever want a rant about PhD life! ♥

Spainel friend stepping in:

View attachment 1376441
Hold on, was Spaniel Friend the real life friend who accidentally revealed OH was male? If so, she sounded as though she knew and respected both Jack and OH. Things may be about to get very awkward if Jack keeps dropping hints about OH being a wrong'un.

If it wasn't her then just ignore me and move along folks 😇

ETA- Just caught up and seen that it was SF. From what I recall that tweet made it sound like OH was a mutual friend so wow, Jack's public snipes towards ex-OH are even more calculated than I thought. She is begging for someone to tell him about all her cool new dates.

I think this must surely be the thing that convinces the "OH isn't real" camp, no? This is 100% just been dumped behaviour, and has no business being anywhere on her public Twitter profile.

(BTW for the non-Tinderers asking if she's using a pseudonym etc, she has set her screen name to J. And is probably far too arrogant to hide her real identity.)

FS I'm taking it personally that an English teacher has accepted a date with her!! Do what the rest of us do, stare at someone in staff briefings for a term til they ask you for a drink

Or it could be she's still reeling from the bollocking she got from her dad about the big gun allegedly being shot on a residential street . 🤷‍♀️ So she's been feeling sorry for herself, added a 'fake' dumping on top and got herself a puppy that no-one will dog sit for.

I'll admit i'm cynical. Some people will lie about anything for no reason.

So I haven’t on this thread completely by accident and, having just spent the last few hours of my life catching up on this, Twitter and ‘the real Jack Monroe’ I’m hooked. Thank you!
