Exactly, if she genuinely was getting stuck in down the foodbanks every week there would be some evidence of it - whether from herself, other volunteers @‘ing her to thank her, recipients @‘ing her to thank her, local press etc. Southend Echo has hundreds of foodbank stories - yet none of them have mentioned her in years.
Re BIB
) it bleeping,bleeping grinds my gears that this is the core message of this fucker and her enablers.
No and do you know, nobody would give any tit about it.
This is such a good read. Although I can picture JM reading it and nodding in agreement, in her world (head?), SHE is the CREATOR CREATING, the haterz can only dream!They're both damaging in different ways IMO. People like Frau Andy send the curious onlookers to Tattle, and serious reviewers get the people who'd never be on Tattle to think twice about buying her book.
Sort of unrelated, Freddie deBoer posted this essay the other day that I think is really good. It's long, but the gist is that a lot of the toxicity and rage online is coming from frustrated would-be creatives who think they deserve more from life than they're getting. I was thinking about it yesterday while catching up, and then @Lucy Aeroplane wrote about how Jack had been really desperate to get in with the Southend creative scene... makes you think.
The Creative Underclass is Still Raging
Fifteen years ago, New York magazine published a piece called “Gawker and the Rage of the Creative Underclass.” (Alternative headline: “Everybody Sucks.”) The piece argued that Gawker, then still a niche publication beloved of insiders, was powered fundamentally by the resentment of those...freddiedeboer.substack.com

too and I agree it’s not the best time for a birthday!I love supermarket clothes - whilst I understand they’re fast fashion, much like Jack (!) my clothes are ruined by the profession I’m in and I’m poor so I justify what I do buy. Anyway, I would never buy a printed pattern jacket from one because they always always look cheap. No-one is looking at that photo and thinking “blimey, she must be landed gentry with that Barbour jacket!”
Tricksy wording again. It's entirely possible that the 5th sideboard came after the breakup, and that Louisa has indeed taken two of the four that were there when she LEFT.
Soz...I don't agree with you, love making things like this and in all honesty consider it a "real breakfast": and also, in the spirit of sticking one up Jack's grey jumper, I like that we won't call our flying monkeys to eradicate the vermin of each other
Jack just doesn't seem to understand the creator economy or her role in it.
Ahh but it did remind me of this? Did she have a bottle of irn bru in the pocket as well?
Unless there were originally 44 items..?
It is really creepy at this point.
The happiest of Happy Birthdays to you, dear heart! Wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous year.As I spit and gently enter this thread, I am going to start my imploring the Mods to change my name to M'Sideboard because its my birthday🔺️ I thank you x
Her idea of campaigning is concocting a badly written tweet on whatever current topic she spots while scrolling that she hopes will go viral. Or claiming to have “helped set” things up that clearly she had nothing to do with as they don’t actually exist (see fuel voucher) Can’t lie though. Nope.
