Yes, exactly most children LEAVE the beach with a pocket of pebbles and shells and dead crab claws. ARRIVING on the edge of the water with your pocket full of stones while the sea curls its lip and beckons you in is a much more disturbing image and she totally bloody knows it.That poem, coupled with the picture, is all a bit Virginia Woolf and makes me feel weird. I’m sure that’s the intention.
Jack Monroe, finding new ways to trigger people since 2012.
Even if her assistant is furloughed, that's one less thing Jack Monroe Ltd has to pay for. Furlough monies are claimed back, so the company isn't losing out.The thing is she's she supposed to be having a break from work and her assistant is she still not furloughed?
If so how can she do her patron stuff. She supposed to be off work that means you don't even lift as much as a pen to write a recipie. Doesn't it?
So how can she ask people to subscribe to a service that shouldn't currently be in use due to her having no one to send out the stuff, make the content?
I don't know how it will work?? Sign up to my Patron for stuff, I'm off work at the minute but I will get back to you? Is that what she means?
Sir John Betjeman loved Southend pier... he is his namesake's thoughts on J's poetryShe's no Orwell. I'll pop along and check if he's spinning in his grave (triangulation!!) at being compared to someone who can't even use a paragraph.
The Road to Southend Pier is coming isn't it?
She’s got a drawer full of cocklingsThey'll have the estuary aftertaste.... Theres cockling going on too isnt there?
Freud would have a field day with some of these posts today!Her pocket will be smelling ever so fishy now
Jackie already has a drawer full.They'll have the estuary aftertaste.... Theres cockling going on too isnt there?

Has she done the accompanying video yet? Orwell missed a trick by not exploiting technology, but all of her modern-day poetry peers are nailing it.
Crisps for dinner and a pint of best,
Our soccer club’s better than the rest.
City, United, Albion, Rovers,
Cobbled streets that advertise Hovis.
Knuckle-busters, ASBOs, car-park fights,
Poundland, Asda, bingo nights.
Matchstalk men, matchstalk cats,
Matchstick dogs, and council flats.
Community centres and spray painted swearing,
Harassed policemen and teachers past caring.
Unions, strikes, “Everybody Out!”
I don’t want to.
You’ve got to.
We won’t earn nowt.
Cotton mills and cooling towers,
Old tin baths, no power showers.
A certain pride, a certain swagger,
A fist, a stick, a gun, a dagger.
Giros, glue-sniffing, dogs on ropes,
But I see people, with dreams, with hopes.
Jack-mon Bollocks.Jack VanGogh?
I don't know about other medications but usually when changing anti depressants one is tapered down in dosage and another added gradually over week or 2 till on new pills .Also would expect to see cpn or go in this time to discuss any side effectsI think you can't just stop taking antidepressants, one has to slowly reduce the dosage with the guidance of a (real) doctor. I also do not know about ADHS medication. What chemical rollercoaster is she referring to? Would one not have to stop taking these 2 different meds and then introduce new ones?
She was hospitalised and had to resign with the previous burnout and this time a [gender not specified but maybe a Lady] doctor put her straight on the chemical rollercoaster. She's special and SEVERELY burned out.When I went to the Dr for burnout he gave me some offered me some sleeping tablets and gave me info about how I deal with my own mental health.
I didn't get offered anything else, perhaps my burnout wasn't as bad as hers.
The only print I'll buy is Celery. Edinburgh.That poetry is SO CRINGE. A cringe so MASSIVE that it felt like my butthole was trying to eat me.
I have to say though - if she gives her Patreon patrons some ACTUAL rewards and manages to create content/send items out, then fair play to her - that's how it should work! I can't really begrudge her that. I was just annoyed that she was getting so much money but not actually giving anything in return. Can't wait to see how it pans out...
Also I had a look at some of her postcards on BigCartel - some of the photos are quite nice and she definitely does have a bit of talent in that regard.
Having said that, I remember there was a whole slew of them that used that dreadful "mosaic" style art filter on them. I can't remember which phone app did this, but it was all the rage a few years ago. See this photo of the garlic for what I mean: https://jackmonroe.bigcartel.com/product/garlic-by-jack-monroe
It just reminds me of when I first got Photoshop and I thought all the filters made everything look super cool, when in fact it was just very obviously a very overused Photoshop filter.
I would have put this in a spoiler alert if it would be considered triggering in any way ,sorryI don't know about other medications but usually when changing anti depressants one is tapered down in dosage and another added gradually over week or 2 till on new pills .Also would expect to see cpn or go in this time to discuss any side effects
