I thought most of Jack's Paetron supporters were only paying £1 a month so not getting any postcsrds,- I am sure Jack said that, and will remember it when Jack starts crying about carrying 1,000s of postcards to the post office.

So sending individual postcards 2nd class (68p) and taking the midway point of 100,000 postcards means the postage alone comes to £680,000 £68,000 (thank you for correcting my terrible calculations @BlairWaldorf86

She's broken her gifted shopping too!

She'll send SB to do it for some pocket money.

That's a very good point. She doesn't have much, if anything to 'sort out' then does she ?

What are the postcards *of* please?!
Prepare yourself, I'm going to give it to you straight. There are no postcards. You may wonder how something that doesn't exist can be both high quality and double-sided, but that's the genius of it!

I’ve finally caught up properly and want to add my voice to those of the other actually diagnosed ADHD/ASD Frauen who are cringing at the very thought of letting so many people down for so long. I won’t be the only one who, if I was failing to deliver on something I’d promised, would simply vanish/go to ground instead of publicly twatting about on Twitter. I’d be too ashamed and feel sick at letting people down - I wouldn’t be posting constantly online looking for back-pats, I wouldn’t be tweeting everything that came into my head, I certainly wouldn’t be broadcasting a one-night stand to half a million people, and I wouldn’t be ignoring good faith questions. I’d be lying awake at night anxiously hoping nobody asked me anything and during the day would be working furiously to actually deliver what I’d promised.

It’s not an ADHD trait to completely let people down whilst simultaneously and very publicly acting in ways that very strongly indicate you have no shame about that whatsoever. That’s a cunt trait. Nothing to do with ADHD.

It’s deeply offensive that she’s weaponising it as an excuse, and it’s actively harmful to all of us who actually work incredibly fucking hard to overcome our invisible barriers every fucking day. People are going to read her “waaaah poor me it’s my ADHD making me act like a cunt” posts and will go away thinking that ADHD means someone will be as shit as Jack. When, in reality, and especially in the “professional” workplace, we’re often conscientious to the point of becoming neurotic and anxious about our work being high quality and on time. And we have to overcome people’s stereotyped views of our abilities which Jack has just reinforced by using ADHD as an excuse.

Jack, every time I think you can’t sink to a new low, you manage to go lower. Using harmful stereotypes of ADHD as an excuse for your actual laziness and crapness is sooooo damn low.
