I burst out laughing when her voice began to quiver with emotion. perhaps not what she intended

I still think this is the worst thing she has ever done. It’s just beyond anything in its awfulness.

ETA although the singing did just pop into my head.Tough call.

Cripes. She's very cocky. Which one is the real Jack? Voice definitely less snotty.

But... but she said it the interview about her 'transition' that she'd 'never give up her stilettos'?!

Sali Hughes is the same. Its an affectation some women who find themselves adorable try to cultivate
With Jack it fits in to her constant need to be seen as vulnerable and quirky, too. She plays into existing stereotypes about non-neurotypical and short women to a strong degree, and it's actually quite offensive. Groups she claims to be a part of want to be taken seriously, and having someone with a reasonable public following act like she's a loveable pixie child who can do no wrong impacts that. She needs to be seen as physically and mentally weaker so her victim act works; who's going to question someone who seems to be struggling? It's genuinely the most anti-feminist part of her, I think. She could easily become a real voice for women, especially those with ADHD & autism, but instead, she falls back on outdated ideas because it fits her own ideology.

It's giving 'kid's first GCSE drama rehearsal' methinks

Did she just say she wrote poetry because she couldn't wank in front of a 2 year old? Did I hear that right?

To all those experiencing her poetry for the first time, you are most welcome. Thank(space)me for all I do. Send Paypalos.

Also send someone to do my real job for me while I tit about on here.

ETA I like it when she stops talking about the daily mail and gets to her second poem which she’s clearly EXTRAORDINARILY pleased with and knows off by heart, so she can really get into ‘emoting’ it.

I find it hard to think of another person with so little talent and aptitude for so many other things but yet an unshakable belief in her own ‘specialness’ and as some sort of anointed one. Singing, writing, poetry, cooking, presenting.

She sees a world-changing unique and special talent. I see a dumpster fire pile-up with someone spraying petrol and flaming shit all over it.

It will be interesting to see how it fares against Sali Hughes book which really is aimed at the middle classes, imparting such wisdom as how to chop an onion. I guess Jack’s equivalent will be how to make an onion as unappetising as possible
Hopefully Sali’s fans will rally to ensure there aren’t more sub-5 star reviews, after the so-called co-ordinated troll attack (three people dared to be “pretty honest”)

The majority of people in sex work are victims whether it is of poverty, traffickers, abusers or something else. Porn is similar, 9 times out of 10, someone suffered for that content. I'm not a prude btw just know someone who was on that industry and its murky af. The likes of Onkyfans etc is definitely safer. As usual, it's mostly men who benefit. The way Jack talks so flippantly about it, just throws it out there casually, is enough to make me raise my eyebrow.

So Rebekah Vardy's just been massively stung in the Wagatha Christie trial because she deleted messages.

Makes you think.

You did, and yes, she did absolutely say that.
She's so unnecessary. And so spectacularly untalented. Why can't she just shut the fuck UP for once instead of flinging her shitness at the world like a wee smol muckspreader.

She reminds me of a 4 year old bringing yet another bloody potato print back from nursery - the parents will be delighted but everyone else has limited interest, so how is she managing to sell her grown-up potato prints to the general public? It's such a con-job.

No. No. Nononononono . This makes me feel funny in my tummy and not in a pleasant way either.
