Jack Monroe #464 Twitter isn’t compulsory ya prune

[allybongo]

If Jack needs 10 meetings to stay on track, I’m glad it’s working for her. If my brother would go to ten, or even one a week, I’d be thrilled. Of all the things Jack spends her time doing, this is the most positive.
Having supported him once at a fellowship, we were both so very glad my late mother didn’t come along for fear of her doing a ‘Blanche’.
I’m really not making fun of this really important process at all, this Corrie episode was a catalyst for our family to actually openly start discussing how best to help my brother!

This is the best thing I have ever watched ever

Vlad being extra helpful this week

I'd believe her more if she said she stuck a Cotswold sideboard down her knickers... womans never read the metro in her LIFE.

Love this. Leftist types in a long thread all laughing at her. Squigs make fair points. A post that she thought might go viral is now just a big "hello, remember me?" for the non-usual suspects to point and laugh. She's a laughing (tasteless) stock cube

Spoiler: LOLs

Ftfy.

I recommend the Dualit milk frother. Half the price of the Velvetiser and it also does cold drinks. I’m sure she can find one in a puddle/charity shop or be gifted one by a generous friend.

I second this, the dualit is amazing, also with Lidl oat milk

So her severe and chronic autism doesn't stretch to putting her shirts in colour-order then.

Ordered by the hugely irrelevant sleeve length? Or perhaps by ease of rolling up for ID purposes?

 

[MavisBeacon]

Despite her FORENSICALLY split 50/50 UK/US audience, I sadly haven’t seen it in s single shop (or “store” as y’all’s Transatlantic Cousins like to call them) in these here parts.

Seems wrong, cruel almost, to deprive half her fan base of the opportunity to maim themselves and eat laboriously prepared unoriginal slop just because there’s a big SEA between us.

Unless…when she said her audience was 50/50 US and UK and that’s why she’d used BIPOC re poverty “In the UK” she was LYING??

She doesn't have a US territory deal for the hardback of Grifty Kitchen, as far as I can tell. Only the kindle is available on Amazon.com

 

[Birditer29]

What’s with her suddenly retweeting loads of news stories

 

[Julia Edwards]

His dirty cooker! These PEOPLE!

Good god, I was mesmerised by the pan-o-slop and missed the surrounding filth.

 

[Onestorytoomany]

Hold the phone, whats she being doing apart from downsizing. Pet, i know moving is hard work but its no one elses fault you have do it. Just keep slugging it on or hire another skip. Job done.

 

[ForgettyBetty]

The photographer would have been there looking for anyone vaguely famous and they would have sold it.

Maybe that's what the look is about... hey, someone is taking a picture of me and THEY'RE making money from it

 

[People-huv-tae-know]

Does cause arthritis like health issues, just out of interest?

 

[Ablemabel]

DYING at this.

I can't quite decide which one is worse!

Who am I kidding, it's beetlejack!

"The work of a weekend" my arse

Jack didn't mean any specific weekend.

 

[House of Carbonara]

Commander Vimes placed his police helmet on the sideboard. He pondered, what do the people like the Patrician place their hats on? They probably have gilded hatstands, worth tens of thousands.
And what about the average working man? He probably has enough to buy a smart looking sideboard, albeit just veneered, for about £800 whereas those in the poorer villages, they would just hammer a nail in a wall in their ramshackle rented hovel. No, Vimes was happy with his Argos £100 sideboard, which he paid for in cash with his hard earned wages.

You are my hero, Hotes!

She's been bumping along around 1000 for a while, so if most of her sales were in the first week and preorders, and she didn't beat 3500 (as mentioned up thread by @FlirtyThirty ) then I reckon she's somewhere around 4-5000 maximum. Plus all the shenanigans with the ebook being pulled and refunded.
It's also telling that Jack herself did hardly any promo to juice presales apart from a pinned tweet, and the whole "buy one, buy one for the TT" thing has fallen flat and needs money spent on amendments.
This book has done *really badly*.

I honestly think she will pivot away from food. Nobody takes her seriously at all in the food world, she isn't working on content for an audience on social like other cooks, there are so many others doing better up in her niche of budget cookery (that doesn't look like dogshit and taste of nothing) that I cannot see her continuing to push herself as any kind of competent voice on food or cooking.

Does that include returns?

 

[MrsFawlty]

Or cous cous for goodness sake. Couldn't be easier.

Quoting myself like an idiot - apologies dear @CarmenGhia I see I've mis-read your post and added a completely unnecessary comment under yours. Send spectacle-os.

 

[Sensible Susan]

The photographer would have been there looking for anyone vaguely famous and they would have sold it.

Oh, thanks! So she performed for a photo during a tragedy she knew was for profit? Absolute disgrace

 

[Dogmuck]

I think squig has made a little mistake dear heart you pay the £12 + VAT through Patreon, like I’m subscribed to someone for £14 a month but I’m charged £17 odd for it. I think this squig has been had out of her VAT component of the monthly bill

ETA - thank you @ForgettyBetty entirelt forgot about the £10 tier

I think it’s possible what @ForgettyBetty said is right, but, without mithering through your stats, is there a £10 or a £12 level?

 

[HoopLaa]

Speaking of autism, has Jack ever mithered about having to pay council tax? If so, she does realise she just has to show her diagnosis to her council and she'd no longer have to pay.

This is just not true!
