Jack Monroe #341 The numbers on the key are upside down

[Valiofthedolls]

The retweeting herself, especially when she's sulking because she's been criticised, is one of the most embarrassing things she does.

At least it wasn’t Burglar Bill again this time. Just the perpetually endless torment/catatonic reprise of living a life beyond her wildest dreams.

This is obviously what she expects in an OH

Edit:

It almost seems as though Jack just has no concept of bisexuality, which for someone of that generation¹ who has had both male and female partners just seems ludicrous. I don't think it's even necessarily intentional or "using it as a weapon" though, just some amount of self doubt and maybe naïvety.

Sarah Vine can definitely duck off though.
¹the same generation as me, and I've been calling myself bisexual for 23 years...

Whilst I’m sure she is plagued by self doubt I do think a lot of her loudly proclaiming about her sexuality is a way of getting attention and standing out. Another bandwagon to jump on. If heterosexuality was the minority I have no doubt she’d be banging that drum loudly.

 

[Eurgh]

Ugh. It’s such a narcissistic “look how pretty I am” move isn’t it.

But anyway, point was, in fairness to her the complete knob that she is, I think she has a fair bit of a natural curl but dries it straight. I don’t know though, this is Jack, and there’s no way that blonde is natural.

I’ll have you know the Ancient Greeks were blonde!

I knew there was evidence of anor lie re coming out as lesbian.

From the infamous graudnia article

Jack Monroe: ‘I want to be treated as a person, not as a woman or a man’

She was the poster girl for austerity Britain, and then she suffered a breakdown. Jack Monroe talks politics, party frocks and being transgender

www.theguardian.com

Lasted all of 2 minutes, as was her being sure she wanted 2 transition into a bloke.

 

[Wooh]

Lasted all of 2 minutes, as was her being sure she wanted 2 transition into a bloke.

I think I've made a mistake, comparing a story quoting Jack (guardian) and one talking *about* her to criticise

Sarah Vine or "Mrs.Toad" as she occasionally calls herself whilst writing motoring/ car reviews in The Spectator can always duck right off.
I'm post menopausal now but frankly Frauen it was tit going through it. I had 8 years of being on a Nitrofurantoin treadmill and had my hip surgery cancelled a week before lockdown 1 because I had a uti.
All sorted now because I stamped my feet (not literally) for a urology appointment. Quick cystoscopy, some medication and I'm good to go.
I feel 20 years younger

Soz just did a complete me rail. Am blaming the heat.

Interesting input from Mr Moldwarp. Mr Lazarus is of the opinion that if men had periods and could get pregnant the world would have ended millennia ago because there's no men who would put themselves through it.

I don't agree with you that she was a strikingly beautiful child. I think she looks like a very normal child.

Decidedly average

Well Jack was born in 1878, where being bisexual was unheard of. Of course, there were a few naughty young ladies tipping the velvet ifyouknowwhatimean, those naughty victorians and all that.

But for real, I’m a couple of years older than Jack and bisexuality was never some alien concept. I’d say it was slightly less accepted in the lesbian community 20 years ago, with a couple of women outright turning me down for being bi (which may be an excuse to not hurt my feelings). But I’ve never thought to identify as a lesbian because they were more accepted or anything like that.

 

[People-huv-tae-know]

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, Jack is keeping a low-ish profile, although felt it necessary to RT her 'feel like crap, hun,' tweet

How pathetic. Mon foe Jack thinks she can fend off critics using her faked health conditions, again. She does this everytime. She's not fooling anyone (with brains that is).

 

[Captainmouse]

It’s just occurred to me that Jack’s peri-menopause claim is aimed at Harold.

1) She can explain away her tweets about having miscarriages and trying for a baby as desperation and madness at realising she is going through the change very early and losing her fertility

2) She can explain away her pathological lying and strange behaviour as hormonal

3) She can convince Harold that she’s no longer physically able to baby-trap him

But he will never see any of it! He is decidedly ordinary with no social media

Ironically for men being gay is marginally more accepted than being bi.

I know a lady of colour at my child's school and both she and her daughter's have beautiful styled hair. Cascade Never in a million years would I ever think to copy it.
SPOILER** poc hairstyles.
The one thing I always want to ask but feel like it's probably not appropriate is now they get their teeny babies to sit still long enough to get their hair braided. It honestlynhh blows my mind.

if
There are loads of black mums who do their kids hair on Instagram vids, intricate, beautiful designs and there are always queries about how they keep their kids still. I’ve seen various answers about distractions, snacks, tv but I guess if they start braiding and caring for their hair very early on the kids just get used to it by the very wiggly stage. B

A 34 year old woman, not only using her professional social media account to tweet a "Feel like pure tit, just want my meal ticket back" grab for attention, but then to also retweet it...I can't even. Just duck off and wallow in private or call one of your three therapists. It's too hot for this shite.

 

[Valiofthedolls]

But his nuzzled lookalike similarly dressing brother might see it

 

[Pavlova]

She loves a daytime TV slot, all the ITV ones are mad on the menopause right now.

Yup, absolutely . And will get savaged I hope by a million angry, sweaty, annoyed fraus going through it. Ain't no-one more perpetually pissed off than a menopausal woman! Especially in this heat.
(Grabs popcorn gif)....

 

[Boogs]

"Feel like pure tit, just want my meal ticket back" retweet.

Too soon for a thread nomination?

 

[LennyBriscoe]

that sounds like that song. Something something stick a deckchair up your nose

I’ve been tittering about this intermittently all day. I’m proud and horrified in equal measures that I know the exact song you’re meaning

OMG...Sun-In. It's summer 1994 and I can literally smell that through the screen

 

[HotesTilaire]

I'm in no way homophobic, I just can't bare people who decide to call themselves full on lesbian when it clearly isn't the case, she's never came out as bi only lesbian yet wants to date men. This is an insult to actual lesbians.

We don’t usually draw attention to homophobic critiques of Jack, or deadnaming. Jack has said she is a lesbian but she always makes exceptions (and they’re always worth it, she said!)
It’s also patriarchal misogyny. Why shouldn’t a lesbian have sex or get artificial insemination, and have a baby? Paul O’Grady was briefly married and fathered a child but nobody tells gay men they should’ve kept it in their pants. See also- Schofield.
