Is it wrong that I judge Linda for that suit (and her championing of guest) more than anything else?
She’s dressed like the red carpet. Which is appropriate since Jack walks all over her.

Same. I feel your pain. It's no fun at all.
Forgive my ignorance, what causes this? Is it a subconscious need to be more like that other person? I actually knew someone once who did this, but I just assumed it was a them thing, but now I'm wondering! They were lovely, and quite eccentric. So the unexpected things they did I just assumed was an eccentricity specific to them. As I say they were a joy so it was almost a nice thing. Funny what you notice but don't appreciate the significance of.

so far this grunk I’ve found out that apparently it’s ok to make assumptions on a young queer persons politics, knowledge of UK queer/political history, heritage, what they find offensive ( ie we’ve made an assumption that they are vocal on their position on gender/race/class/politics and have decided we don’t like that ) all based off their choice of clothing, that it’s ok to suggest that Linda Riley looks dodgy/aggressive/hetrophobic because she doesn’t look conventionally attractive or smile for the camera (I’m not saying she isn’t a horrible human being but that’s down to her actions not her looks ) , and that people should date people who are equally attractive , and when there’s an inbalance , it’s ok to imply it’s made up for financially.

what I haven’t found out on this grunk so far - has guest moved yet, has the Essex police celeb department traced who sent the letter yet and has Jack spent the bank holiday catching up on all those blog posts ?.
I know, I look like Geetbo’s avatar lately, I’m well aware people judge me on it, without my online distraction bubble being burst.
I think centre-parting hair curl Jack looks slightly more normal than stunt hair-sister wife Jack did. Imagine being reminded of the time you clipped in impossibly long nylon fake hair every time you walked past your 3 books in Waterstones

Seems guest might be going to the Edinburgh Fringe this year, I’m not remotely interested in looking it up (sorry, just being honest 😬) but a more interested or festival-keen Frau might? (The Stand New Town Theatre?)
Is the canal busking outside? All the ones on the right side of the bridge for starters......?!

Is it too early please? I want this as a thread title nomination. I hope it isn't too early. It's too early isn't it?

DO YOU WANT ME TO STOP BREATHING?! I'M WORKING 100 HOUR WEEKS, WALKING 20,000 STEPS A DAY, EATING WITH A SPOON, MAKING 42 MEALS FROM 12 ITEMS OF FOOD, AND YOU WON'T EVEN LET ME NOMINATE THIS!!
Sigh.
You forgot that she sleeps on the sofa

How does that work then? Are you saying that if it is legal for child brides of 8 or 10 or 12 in x country, and they come to the UK where 16 is minimum age, the child bride's should just be ignored as it is legal somewhere else in the world? Sorry, I don't understand that argument.

On topic, guest is a massive grifty bleep and pisses me off more and more by the hour.
The age of consent in UK is 16, in her state it was 18, she was 17 at the time. Also it’s illegal in uk to pay for sex with someone under 18.

Yes, I said that I get bad vibes from her because in every single photo I’ve seen of her so far, every other person looks happy and she’s stood there looking fuming. There was no implication whatsoever that she’s therefore dodgy/aggressive/hetrophobic because she doesn’t smile in pictures 🙄.
must be my elasticated waistband causing me to misread other people’s posts then .

I love Ariel ❤ I think I'm going to buy her book.

That her pillowcases are similar to my kitchen blind was a bit distracting to me 🤣 Obviously we share good taste.

I'm someone with huge esteem/body issues - I'd probably pass psychological tests for surgery on the NHS, let's just say that - and, even though Ariel is far more beautiful and has a better body than I could ever hope to have, she's right. Self-love is hard and something I'm not sure I'll ever manage without some sort of validation. I also have a good friend who... 🍉 let's just say has made a living in various guises due to her looks yet she is still insecure, especially as she's getting older. Like Ariel, she knows what she's talking about how the printed image often isn't the reality, and has tried so hard to assure me I'm fine, sweet, cute, etc, but my experiences tell me otherwise.

Back on topic

Jack is a lying bleep and a nasty piece of tit.

I don’t really understand what you are saying. If you want to respond to my comment and disagree with me then please by all means do so, I’m more than happy to hear an alternative opinion, but I don’t really appreciate you making an indirect post claiming I said/implied something that I categorically haven’t.

I think it's exactly that. Changing the tiers means some people would tier down or stop paying entirely. Posting an excuse update would remind subscribers she exists and make some of them leave. Even sending out the rewards could lead to disaster for her if too many people decide they don't want this stuff after all. Staying silent on Patreon - grifty as it is - is probably her only option at this point. I don't know why 400 people are happy sending out money every month for duck all in return, but it seems many of them are.🤷‍♀️

I can easily imagine the Patreon being started in good faith, and even - if I'm kind - that the initial falling behind on rewards really was the result of mental ouchies/a heavy workload one month. But it's okay, she can catch up! Suddenly it's next month, now she's two months behind. After a few months one thing is clear to her - nobody has complained yet, at least not publically. And by now she'd have to send out enough stuff that it'd be a bit of a slog just to get it all prepared, never mind the attendant costs. But it's okay, because the Patreons haven't complained. By this point there's zero chance of her ever making up the missing months, but the grift is working anyway so who cares? Jack certainly doesn't!

In a way Nigella was the worst thing that could have happened, if we assume Jack had good intentions here. A fuckload of money drops into her Paypal but now even more stuff needs to be sent out (or not!) and with a wider audience it's more likely that one of these new paypigs will complain when they get hee-haw in return, possibly even in public. But she could always have closed/paused the Patreon, or asked Nigella not to send all these people her way. Maybe a quick mention that she's got some problems fulfilling rewards and offering refunds if anyone isn't content paying just to support her painstaking behind the scenes work that there's never any evidence of. So while I am willing to allow that Jack might not have intended it to end up like this, she hasn't made any move to fix things or to limit the growth of the problem. She obviously doesn't care about these people, she just wants the free money every month but also doesn't want to pubically admit that this is free money and that the tiers exist solely to pay her rent and fund her lifestyle.
Still Grunking (but approaching real time slowly!)... If that had even occurred to her, she wouldn't have said she was going to wrote 4 blog posts a week this year. Especially not until she had caught up... Which she (or somebody) fessed up the in that October Patreon post. She's a bleeping con artist, liar, all-round thieving tit, and I hope karma jumps all over her.

A poster said they disliked someone in the photo based purely on what she was wearing.
Other posters had a discussion about Linda always looking aggressive and not smiling.
other posters made a comment about the lady in blues T-shirt being possibly cultural appropriation, and pointed out her outfit had an elastic waistband.
A poster suggested that Arial’s partner was “ punching”
A poster suggesting that Linda would criticise working class people who didn’t support pride/miners strike as being homophobic - I read this as suggesting Linda is hetrophobic

I did not quote your post so I don’t know why you feel I have targeted you

I'm wearing elasticated trousers. I have to fold myself a bit over the top of those to achieve peak (relative) comfort. The elastic is doing a lot of heavy lifting today. Though I'll not be offended if someone takes the piss. I'm wearing elastic bloody clothes what do I expect 😂

I find the body dysmorphia etc discussion very interesting. It's not about how you look (relative to others) at all. It's about how you compare with how you think you should look. I've been prettier, and skinnier, and uglier, at various times. I'm below average for me currently but have more confidence now than when I looked at my best. It goes to show that self image isn't just a problem for people who aren't what society would describe as very attractive. It can happen just as easily for people who are conforming to that image too, and everyone in between, if they can't see it or have some other view of perfection. I guess it's the same as being able to be depressed with an objectively "good life" whilst someone with a rubbish life from general perspectives can be happy. Such an individualised thing.

I’ve mentioned on here before Mr Lazarus is a snooker fan - I don’t mind it, so I sometimes watch too.
At the final tonight, when Brecel was giving his winner speech, he said to Mark Selby something like ‘I probably shouldn’t be saying this here, but stay strong Mark & Vikki, I know there’s been a lot said online’
I can’t find anything - does anyone know what’s up? Nitter’s gone and I can’t search for things on Twitter as i don’t have an account.
