Indeed Wooh - I am not sure how I am going to cope, not seeing the Christmas nails, or the begging for heating. Still, at least there will be some “banging” Christmas recipe content on her public Bex Bites channel, I am sure! And only three months now til Spring starts and she will definitely have the book out then, surely!
She really does respond to everything in real time, doesn't she?

OMG!!! DETECTIVE BEX forensically sleuthing wicked bad followers
And what's this about, I casually wonder?
A gift from a crappy donor too good to reject. I don't know how you do it, Bex. Such strength!

I have said this a lot on these grifter threads but it seem I should be saying it again…
I should be so effing poor.
I'll say, @FlashBoof
Bex, I've copied a couple of articles about self care for you; hope to see them interpreted in your favour and tweeted by you soon.

Takeaway: self care is not false fingernails, mate
EDIT: the first one was a link to a GraziaDailyUK article, nor allowed by Tattle, worth reading, see:

Self-care is everywhere now. It’s in fashion. It’s a trend. It’s yours, but only if you can afford to buy into it. Capitalism has managed to convert a feminist concept into a host of products and offers. From expensive yoga passes to boujis sound baths nobody can afford and luxury bath bombs, self-care is being marketed to women in what’s actually a pretty insidious way.
If we’re honest about it, this mainstream model of ‘self-care’ is reactive and piecemeal. It focuses on what can only be described as individual acts of indulgence - often within a capitalist frame of buying something for yourself. Healers, massages, yoga, sound baths, expensive candles, nice meals. What does self-care even mean when you’re flat broke, renting or living under austerity? If your mental health is struggling because of systemic oppression, you can’t exactly treat yo’ self to liberation.

Oh but she did a thread on how she isn't a povvo anymore.
Jesus - whomever is responsible for that little piece has definitely been perusing the back catalogue of that great and fabled publication “The Breakdown”.
Well clearly, going on the constant spenny nonsense. Can’t wait to read her piece in the RSM zine - should be a hoot!
Again???!!
Parenting lectures for us all this morning.
If I was no longer poor I would simply not beg for utter tat from Amazon on twitter so that the donations could go to kids who are genuinely in need.
To play devil's advocate, she didn't say her son wouldn't get any presents if people didn't buy him something. She put the wishlist up and said if you want to buy him a Christmas gift, this is the list.
She also didn't hide it and was vocal about what had been bought. Many of my Facebook friends have put up wishlists for their children for friends and family to buy from. I don't think it counts as grifting if there's no sob story and it's transparent.
If people want to throw their hard earned money away on some stranger's kid they've never actually seen, let them.
If you spend months/years moaning about being poor - complaining about not being able to afford heating, including features in the local and national press, and if you go “viral” with tweets about Good Samaritans paying for your kids cereal in Aldi because you can’t afford it - thus building up a following of sympathetic and/or relatable people and THEN start tweeting out to those strangers your kids Christmas shopping lists then yes, it’s classic, indisputable grifting.
She was drinking chamomile tea from a mug that was gifted by a friend who secretly hated her
I’ve not seen Bex’s ‘anonymous’ account post on here in ages, although we all know she clearly reads every word still.
I wonder if she has a new tattle account. Will probably be much harder to spot this time though as she will be more careful and throw in more ‘red herrings’

tbh, i do agree that anyone is free to open up links to wishlists on linktree and link to patreon/kofi/cashapp/whatever and fair play to anyone who wants to give these ppl cash or gifts
but, bex, just like jack, wavers between "I'm in the deepest depths of poverty that I've ever known" and "well, actually, I'm not doing too badly" depending upon how well or badly things are going or if face needs to be saved

Grifters always walk the tightrope of 'pity me' and 'envy me'.
Indeed - and I suppose it’s up to us to try and catch any whoppers!
Astute. Brava
