Jack please take it from a fellow* ‘different’ and indisputably fragile person, the reason we criticise you so much and so harshly is because you’re an unrepentant grifter who has caused a lot of harm. Hope that helps.

*Jack is neither fragile nor different and these are traits she has made up to enhance her grift

I know I'm getting on a bit but I've just read that 3 times and still haven't got a clue

Mom is sharing vegan cookbooks on Insta. Not Jacks…
Her Vegan(ish) book has always wound me up. I was always under the impression that it's something you either are, or aren't- no "ish" about it, it's a whole lifestyle isn't it? Surely the addition of anything that makes it "ish" is making it vegetarian, rather than Vegan? Happy to be put right though and I know in the grand scheme it's a minor irritation! (Also every time I tried to type "ish"- my phone tried to suggest the word grift nice one Mr Samsung!

There's a thread in Off Topic for that discussion, lads.

Have we seen the eels yet?

The book is fully vegan. There are multiple reasons she's given for calling it vegan-ish. None make sense.

It's of course still terrible because it's part of her body of work.

I haven’t seen these posts before and I’m shocked! So she casually mentions that she buys two of everything, like it’s no big deal, but she thinks she’s poor? (She must really like those sideboards then hah!)
I just can’t get my head around how people could read those posts and still believe she’s destitute and in need of donations to survive? does she think normal people have the means to go “oooh I love that shirt, better buy multiple of them”?? MASSIVE TWAT!!!!!

Sorry, I know this is a point that's been done to death by better Frauen than me, but will she ever STOP with the "slowly, gently, restfully" crap? As if she is some serene, ethereal being who glides through life while the rest of us mere mortals stomp our way through like bulls in a china shop. She just gives me the complete ICK!

And don't start me on her shameless and baseless comparison with the lovely (actually serene) Jacinda, who from the little I know appears to have more grace and intelligence in her little finger than JM has in her whole self.

I woke up this morning not to my radio clock alarm but to my cat jumping on my legs. Seriously WTF? I don't doubt for a minute that Ardern gets nasty emails, Tweets, etc 24/7 (like most women in politics) but for Jack to hijack this as being like what (allegedly) happens to her is beyond ridiculous.

And unless some big scandal is about to break AFAIK Ardern doesn't have a Patreon that she uses to collect money for vaguely described campaigns, and doesn't get snotty with people that criticize her. That's why she's *not* like you, Jack.

Thank you for clarifying- I've never had the misfortune to read any of her slop manuals, Vegan or otherwise!

She does go back and check it, but she thinks 'Jack that already sounds amazing, but it needs more adjectives'

She wishes she could dress like Gorgeous George (RIP- still heartbroken).

JM constantly drawing attention to the fact that she’s being sent "abuse" and is being "trolled" (which I don’t believe is relentless) is just a way of gaining traction from her dwindling supporters. If she has ever spoken to the police about being trolled she will have been given the same advice that I was when I was trolled for discussing a difficult recovery from a life threatening illness on a support forum. I was told to block anyone who posted a message that upset me, NEVER EVER engage by replying, never make threats in retaliation and if I couldn’t do those three things to leave the forum, delete the app and take a break from being online, she is constantly attention seeking instead of working.
