I'll keep this really quick as the conversation has moved on and it's off topic anyway. Relevant for menstruating women on contraception. I recently had an online Contraceptive Consultation with a GP via a website called the Lowdown. Learnt more in that 20 minutes than I have in the 15 yrs since I started my periods. Got lots of helpful advice regarding debilitating PMS and how changing my contraception could help. Cost £37, would recommend. The total lack of education and discussion around periods, menopause etc is shocking and directly contributes to much unnecessary suffering and stress. Women should not just have to put up and shut up about these things.
Now that is off my chest - continue being hilarious, please
It's a pattern with her, though, isn't it? From saying she can't be racist because she has a Black brother, to then using that Black brother in a story about how she was called a slag when she was babysitting him and her white sister, to her using AAVE to tell Marcus Rashford off publicly, to explaining racism in a black and white monetised video where she calls herself "white as mayo" and promises to give the proceeds to the Minnesota Freedom Foundation (which was never mentioned again), to pitching a book where she's the gatekeeper of Black people telling their own stories, etc etc. Just constant appropriation - some of which for profit - off the back of Black culture, which she implies she's allowed to do because her granddad was Greek Cypriot, overlooking the fact she's 100% English caucasian. And then all the people in her comments telling anyone who objects to STFU, it just reeks of white privilege.
Can Malibu barbie be added to the media gallery
As a PMDD frau, I agree. So much more to be done in terms of education, and normalising discussion around menstruation and hormones. Feels like things in this area progress so slowly.
I’m not so sure. What a professional posts about a client on a public platform can be completely different to their private conversations. They are entirely focused on building interest and sales.
Re your spoiler, I once asked Mr Moldwarp what he thought society would be like if men, not women, menstruated. He thought for a bit and then said “It would get £ billions in research and healthcare, and news and current affairs programmes would discuss nothing else.”
re those old pics of Jack. In my view she really was a strikingly beautiful child and teen. Perhaps that’s some of the source of her egotism now? In my experience women who were very very beautiful as children always carry that ego boost with them as they tended to get more attention and admiration from adults and peers.Or maybe that just reflects my bitterness as having been a swarthy, overweight, awkward child who could always be found lurking in the darkest corner of any given room
She must have taken one too many of her ritalin when she started on those post it notes. No one cares Jack!!
I think it's as the person said in their Instagram comment, there's a trend of Black hairstyles and aesthetics being seen as more attractive if they're worn by white people; it's very long-running but an example would be Kim Kardashian getting corn rows which were covered as if they're a beautiful new hairstyle, more so than if a celebrity like Beyonce gets them put in. So if white influencers try on Black hairstyles it means this trend gets continued of Black hairstyles only being celebrated and seen as attractive on white people who also don't know the history of the hairstyle and don't have the experience of living with the racism around Black hair. It's a big trend that Jack is a very, very small part of. Sorry if I missed anything here

The only reason Jack hasn't done a Rachel Dolezal is because Rachel Dolezal got caught.
She can go back to working as a SW in the brothel that apparently smells like one of her drawers
Remember when she posted for advice about how to cut Black hair at the height of BLM (and also at the height of social distancing 
)? It's for clout, to insert and centre herself into these conversations as though she has any right to be talking about it, rather than just listening to the experiences of Black people.

This is an insult to actual lesbians.

Oh for sure. Her whole behaviour during BLM was shocking and I'm sure she posted her hammock-braid-thirst-pic deliberately to get called out.
It was just bizarre, like we're all reading going "well of course an entirely unqualified white woman would be the obvious first choice to deal with black hair during lockdown".Remember when she posted for advice about how to cut Black hair at the height of BLM (and also at the height of social distancing
Ah yes, the hair colour that she claims is down to lemon juice and sunshine! Neither the colour nor the texture is natural, this is bleach + tongs.
Thanks, that's helpful. I'm not 100% sure I agree with the logic of the argument, but I guess I don't have to. Appreciate your explanation and link.

Daily Mail sidebar of shame when
She's so desperate to get attention. Anything to go viral.
I'm a bit puzzled: not really looked at her Instagram page before, and quite a few food pics on there look nicely cooked, lit and styled. Does Jack take these or are they by professionals for her books?
P.S. I think her upcycled kitchen looks nice (including those very expensive vintage apothecary drawers!!) but in the name of all that's holy that rag rug is a trip hazard/hygiene nightmare!
