I agree. Nice touch how she managed to crowbar in ‘I had the kids on my own’ so clearly had no time for whinging unlike poor childless ED.I'm not buying Clover's "statement" I think that was 100% aimed at ED's piece. Too much of a coincidence otherwise.
That said, both of them make me so relieved that I am content about being child-free
Yeah the child comment was what gave it away.I agree. Nice touch how she managed to crowbar in ‘I had the kids on my own’ so clearly had no time for whinging unlike poor childless ED.
Honestly, they all want women to not be reduced to ‘female writers’ and then Mothers’ Day comes along and we have THIS complete shitshow?!?!
That's an excellent SATC episode, it covers a lot of ground in that simple shoe example.Yeah the child comment was what gave it away.
I think everyone should just not be braggy on social media and it would all be fine. Personally don’t get why people post publicly on those days and never have. Nothing to do with no offending anyone, just wtf is the point? Tell your 76year old mum you love her to her face rather than posting it on a platform she doesn’t use. It’s all lifestyle envy BS but this drama is interesting.
I feel like there are so many chips on shoulders. The kid comment screams of ‘look, I’m too busy with my important mum life to bother with your front page profile piece where you look amazing if slightly corporate.’ It reminds me of that episode of Sex and the City where Carrie’s shoes get taken from the mums house and she wants them replaced but the mum dismisses it as a trivial thing that she has mo time to consider.
Yeah I thought her grid post was making a fair enough point (it's just mother's day, you can't please everyone) but the follow up doth protest a liiiiittle too much.I'm not buying Clover's "statement" I think that was 100% aimed at ED's piece. Too much of a coincidence otherwise.
An exclusive extract from her new book, Everything I Know About Being A TwatOh wow that extract is awful. Aside from the writing, the content is just annoying. The table thing is just people being dicks.
And is she planning to keep posting 'replays' of Ctrl Alt Delete ad nauseum? I saw there was a final goodbye, and yet my podcast app keeps sending me notifications for these re-uploads. I've never seen another podcaster do this.Raise your hand if you're sick of Emma Gannon talking about her "burnout." I'll go first

Yeah I think we should get Dolly and/or Pandora in there somewhere as they’re the most popular ones and it makes it clear what the thread’s all aboutHow To Read More According To Pandora Sykes
Yeah, Monica Heisey is one of their crew despite not being technically a UK LL. Dolly referenced her quite a bit on The High Low as their friend if I recall, and particularly on Sentimental in the City Dolly and Caroline talked about comments/observations she had made in a Whatsapp group.I picked up Really Good, Actually in Waterstones earlier (it's the debut novel from a writer on Schitt's Creek) and saw that blurb testimonials had been given by Pandora, Elizabeth Day and Marian Keyes. Back on the shelf it went!
Do you have somEverything I Know About Narcissism
Yes, Dolly is a nickname "because she looks like Dolly the Sheep" aka that she gave herself to seem more interestingHannah?
