What would you say you use it the most for? I actually didn't realise it was so versatile til I looked it up again just now and wanted it primarily for making bone broth.
Stews, soups, pretty much anything. You can cook all sorts in them.

Sorry I know I’m waaaaay behind, but I didn’t even know Jack Monroe wasn’t her name?! I just took it for granted that it was her actual, real name.

Happened around the full moon.
The following month, we had another Twitter rage.
A month later, we had another Twitter rage.

Hormones do affect mood. Whether they've been affected by medication or not.

PMDD could be added to the list. Treatment could be a Mirena.

View attachment 175119Jack, you are ‘qwhite’. Sit down.
My favourite thing is that she's obviously taken the one on the right much brighter and lit up the whole page. Ironically this is getting weirdly kind of racist on jack's part now, as she darkens an image in an attempt to "prove" a fictional character is not white because she just can't admit she's wrong.

Dear All, thanks for being so considerate when posting here, using trigger warnings and spoiler buttons.
However we can just fuck all that off now cos all we have to do is untrigger ourselves !
This is big news! PHEW

I've seen this pic a few times, but the lighting difference seems wrong.
So I bought the book, just for reference (I have not read it yet though)
These give a more balanced idea of the illustrations. Apologies if these have already been posted elsewhere! I'm trying to keep up and read from
the start as well....half way through

All photos taken in natural light, no editing done.

I’d be interested if the illustrator would chime in but I also completely get why they’re swerving the whole thing.

Ok. She left the fire service when she was 21. The Sunday people story happened a year later.

Where did she have the time to fit in all these other jobs before she got her book deal? Or was she doing other jobs at the same time as writing her first book?

The timeline of the jobs matter. Particularly ones where she’s saying that she basically had to sell sex to pay rent and bills.

Because if she was doing ok financially in the fire service and got 25k for an advance for her first book and was jobless before the Sunday people published that article. When was she doing all the other jobs?

She’s not been broke for years now. It makes no sense to me.
