Hmmm I am wondering (speculating, Judge) if the Journalist actually opened the lines of communication.....

Loads of people felt genuinely sorry for her at that time. I know I did and I didnāt have much spare cash.
Twitter can bring out the worst in people. Iāve made tweets that I look back and cringe on but Iām not a so called influencer with 278k following me

I have battled with my weight most of my adult life. I have eating issues. Not major ones but I spent a lot of time feeling guilty over my eating. Around 6 years ago I lost a lot of weight. 4 stones to be precise. I worked really hard to get it off then my mum got ill (sheās fine now) and I put all of it back on. When the gang who were harassing me last year got wind of the fact that Iām a PT, one of them saw me at an independence march. I was being harassed at the time which was hard. But as soon as they saw me they went on twitter calling me fat. They made memes of me and they called me pie taster and pie tester. Ironically the man who called me the worst names is 22 stones. He called me obese and a mad cow. Heās also the person who sent me death threats and tweeted a photo of my house and my address.
I put weight on easily. Always have. And when life gets hard the first thing I do is stop training in the gym. Which is silly as I pretty much love exercise. My mum has the opposite problem. Sheās spent most of her life trying to keep weight on. When she gets stressed she stops eating. When my life goes wrong I over eat. And that is what I need to work on once and for all. The only upside is I donāt think my life could get much worse than it has over the last two years so hopefully if I go through a rough patch again it wonāt be food I turn to. Itās not even comfort eating. I basically stop caring about myself when things go wrong. I eat tit and I donāt train.
Im slimmer now but thatās because Iāve had to work at it. I donāt starve myself but Iāve walked a lot during lockdown and I donāt see the point of eating rubbish every day. So I donāt. Iāve gone into self sabotage mode too many times in my life to date.
What I am trying to say is that I hate seeing anyone famous making an issue of their weight online. Because it hurts them. And others. At my slimmest Iām a size 12-14 but itās amazing the people who make you feel huge at that size. One thing I never do and I mean never. Is direct jibes at people over their weight. Iāve had it all my life and it is really really tiresome. I like to think that Iām at a stage now where if someone fat shamed me to my face I would challenge them. But itās taken a long time for me to get to that stage.
Twitter can be a cess pit at the best of times and I honestly think fame has gone to Jacks head. Some people and twitter just donāt mix. Sheās one of them in my opinion

Ah, ok. That's a weird one. It's showing in one app but not another.
Would you be Boschahontas or Pocabosch?
If you do Grunka for the Judy posts, I checked and they are # 132, 221, 232, 236, 237, 262 and 266
Will hopefully make your grunk easier
Duh, babe. Get your other phone out of the charging station in the hall! Thatās a thing normal people do, right?

Writer Jack Monroe to stand in General Election this June
Activist and former Echo columnist Jack Monroe has said that she will be standing in Juneās general election.
As much as I love all things vinegary Iām not quite sure what I was thinking!
Maybe this should be Jack Monroe #42: The one with the coriander! 23andme says I have an aversion but while I donāt love it, I could get by as long as thereās not too much.
Most importantly, thank you all you lovely opinionated fraus for your love and support with my dilemma. Iāve saved copies of some of the message threads for future reference, contacted a youth mental health service, and am going to email the pastoral officer at school tomorrow. Youāve all been so wonderful in your solidarity and your suggestions and I appreciate every single bit.
@Breakdance Badass Iām so sorry to hear your boy is going through something similar. Itās such an awful feeling, isnāt it? I really hope his situation is solved quickly and properly

The thing that jumps out of this post for me is the "me, me, me" narrative. "I spoke at a party conference, I was invited to festivals, I, I, I, me, me..."
There's a noticeable lack of mention of her son i.e. "I no longer have to worry about feeding SB, he'll never have to go hungry again." It's all "what Jack did next".
But then I think her back story is hugely exaggerated so no surprise there.
Oh my god! That film! Goober gabba, goober gabba, one of us, we accept you, we accept you!!!
She's *very* trying!
The ending of that film is hilariously crap!
It is, but also reeallly disturbing
.. most of it is creepy / tragic / sad. I read up on the Siamese twins Daisy and Violet Hilton after watching it and itās quite a sad story. They were born in Brighton!- Status
