I understand now. Thank you.
But the thing is, nobody has seen the abuse anyway. It’s all in her DM and on her driveway by the sounds of it. 99% of what is on Twitter is piss taking or asking about things she has said, or people asking for an update on charity donation / patreon. That isn’t abuse. It isn’t abusive to ask someone a question; even one which makes them uncomfortable. She labels herself as a journalist, surely she should be well used to asking uncomfortable questions.

I really don't think a teacher at an English grammer school would tell a pupil they were only good for flipping burgers, that's such an American expression.

Whatever rit she’s already been up to has already managed to fill 19 pages since I logged off last night, and as I don’t have a bank holiday today I SHAN’T be able to catch up now. Just popping in with this, as an example of Jack’s ‘growth’ as a person (aka she will never be able to change or grow, or remember what story she’s already told/keep her story straight). I know a lot of “y’all” have seen these posts, but I’m putting them together for posterity

This from the 2015 Times article I posted the other day

PS her publisher (and qualified therapist who may or may not be Jack’s therapist) also completely supported and egged her on

It’s very clear the tide has turned though, the quote tweets replying to this petty pathetic nonsense were overwhelmingly gushing and positive. Things have changed a lot since then.

EDIT: found Carole’s tweet
Ugh. "Deliberately spelled one of their names wrong as well" may well be my new aneurysm as someone whose names (first and surname - neither of which have Lou in them) are frequently speed wrong. It's so childish to do that as some sort of "Stick it to them" thing.

OK, before I go and do something else: weird twitter thing - how come when I scroll down Jack's feed (tweets & replies) I can see the hilarious Burnside tweetings, but if I click on it says it's deleted?

Is it my browser or something and people who hadn't looked before would see nothing?

Also hadn't noticed Jack knowing that Burnside was female before. :D (ETA - sorry, incorrectly included the last tweet which was actually about Rachel Dolezal)

This episode of Jackanory is my favourite ever.
She thinks Burnside was a woman?
Ffs I'll need my inhaler again in a minute.
This is almost as good as Georgia Suppers.

How long before ouchy/injured/unwell Jack makes an appearance? Its not been long since the 'laryngitis' however given all the recent backlash I'm sure one will be coming. She already tried the doggo diversion and its not really landed this time.
Time for another crumbly tooth diversion

She’s also been told she’d amount to nothing by a supermarket manager. I did not know shop managers liked to comment on their workers’ career choices. But this is Jack world. Needless to say, she had the last laugh.

Her butchering of the English language is my aneurysm. How can she do something painstakingly and accidentally at the same time.

So she's gone for the treble with her begging bowl 'let me know how great i am' tweet but a squig has just been told she's begging to be left alone
Bank frau here. Subscribers are unlikely to have a leg to stand on re refunds. It was donated/signed up for freely and knowingly. Some banks may give a gesture of goodwill partial refund but they certainly aren't obliged to. Raising awareness of the scam is your best bet to shame an unscrupulous 'creator'.
I have to agree. By continuing to pay more than a couple of months past nov2020 (reasonable catch up allowance for busy-elsewhere creator) it could be considered that the patron accepted "new terms" ie they would receive only the warm fuzzies of helping. For anyone joining this year, it was already clear that no content was being produced, and there would arguably be an implied acceptance of that ie people were making a donation through the patreon platform to support her "work" more generally. She could never pay it back anyway, it's tens of thousands and all spent.

Nah I heard it from middle class, grammar school educated types at around the same time (not directed at me though cause I got more than 4 GCSEs). Fits with the "working class people are rum who eat burgers and watch Jeremy Kyle all day" thing.

She’s not well at all. I’m going to bow out for a bit as she’s genuinely unhinged and seeing things that aren’t there

This is the first time I’ve seen the initial burger boy tweet & this is currently me

I sometimes almost cringe myself to death at the thought of my Dad knowing that I have working reproductive organs. Honestly, if I ever have a child, I would want him to think it was delivered by a stork. Bit of an exaggeration from me there :LOL: but (!) I would never tweet publicly about rolling around in my bed in the afterglow of a bit of the ol' rumpy pumpy – espeically on a platform that my parents could access. OMG!
