Don't know where to put this response to @MancBee so just spoilered it.
I feel a bit weird tagging you when we're onto a new thread, but dear @MancBee I just read your post about the pride event and it actually made me tear up. Although we're strangers I wish I could give you a hug (sorry, being weird again! It's the hormones).
I'm sorry Jack's odious behaviour is getting you down. Don't know what to say about your personal situation except I'm sure you've done more 'good' in a week of your life than Jack has pretty much ever. It sounds as though you have loving, supportive people around you and that means a lot too. Ultimately she'll always be unhappy because she has to live life as Jack Monroe! Lots of us on Tattle have struggles, but I doubt anyone would choose her bitter, friendless life over their own. And I know that's sort of your point - that Jack never appreciates what she has - but none of us are responsible for her choices and if it's upsetting you too much it's better to go offline for a while and forget she exists.
I really hope you're feeling OK.
I'm sure if this were 2200 rather than 2023, ninnies of the future would all chip in for a time machine. At the very least we could go back and hide the prunes.
