Probably not permitted here, so pls delete if necessary, but looking at LT, it seems to me that the two have a lot more in common than just their stories of poverty. Like a lot of contradictions and stuff not ringing true. Is LT Jack's mentor/ role model in ALL ways, possibly?
Her landlady lives next door. Her name is Schrodingers Landlady as she is both the nicest and most kind yet evil and bullying landlady to have landladied.
I'd never heard of this Linda Tirado before and, oh wow, so many parallels with Jack. From the poverty signals despite not living in poverty, fluid sexuality while identifying as lesbian, ouchy teeth, ouchy eye (reader, it's the same eye!), using the word 'bootstrap', the buzzcut hair, the GoFundMe, the many contradictions meaning it's difficult to verify anything, and so on.
I spent some time with LT
and... yeah. If you go into it fully believing her and wanting her stories to be completely real (cause she is convincing and charismatic) the alarm bells ding dully, and you try to muffle them and shut them up, but looking back, I feel so much of what she said to me in person must have been absolute BS because it's so incredibly far-fetched and didn't make sense. It's like the kid at school who tells tall tales and you want to believe it partly because it's so awkward to accept that someone is lying so much to your face - it's pathetic and embarrassing! So you gaslight yourself for a while and only accept the truth once you've got some distance.And the blog about poverty, full of graphic and shocking details, that catapulted her to fame and a book deal!
Really strange that she's got lever arch folders full of Tattle's back catalogue but didn't think to screenshot and print off actual death threats. See you next thread, Jack.
And often can't even get upstairs... that's *quite* infirm, imo.
Chicken liver, black pudding, lentil and blue cheese lasagna? That's the second on the list, my brain locked down and refused to let me read further.

Hear that strange noise? That is the entire state of Louisiana and the Louisianian diaspora worldwide howling and clawing, having their collective aneurysm at Jack Monroe’s ‘Sausage and Prawn Etouffee’. And she has the nerve to be all up on THAT MAN about his jollof rice?!
Shaky hand writing?
Pate and lentil bolognese? What in the claggy mouthed hell?
