Broke af?

But still interested in feeding yourself? What if I told you that there’s a woman with a blog who had to feed both herself and her young son…on 10 British pounds ($15/14 Euro) per week?

Let me tell you a thing.

This woman saved my life last year. Actually saved my life. I had a piggy bank full of change and that’s it. Many people in my fandom might remember that dark time as when I had to hock my writing skills in exchange for donations. I cried a lot then. 

This is real talk, people: I marked down exactly what I needed to buy, totaled it, counted out that exact change, and then went to three different stores to buy what I needed so I didn’t have to dump a load of change on just one person. I was already embarrassed, but to feel people staring? Utter shame suffused me. The reasons behind that are another post all together. 

AgirlcalledJack.com is run by a British woman who was on benefits for years. Things got desperate. She had to find a way to feed herself and her son using just the basics that could be found at the supermarket. But the recipes she came up with are amazing. 

You have to consider the differing costs of things between countries, but if you just have three ingredients in your cupboard, this woman will tell you what to do with it. Check what you already have. Chances are you have the basics of a filling meal already. 

Here’s her list of kitchen basics. 

Bake your own bread. It’s easier than you think. Here’s a list of many recipes, each using some variation of just plain flour, yeast, some oil, maybe water or lemon juice. And kneading bread is therapeutic. 

Make your own pasta–gluten free. 

She gets it. She really does. This is the article that started it all. It’s called “Hunger Hurts”.

She has vegan recipes.

A carrot, a can of kidney beans, and some cumin will get you a really filling soup…or throw in some flour for binding and you’ve got yourself a burger. 

Don’t have an oven or the stove isn’t available? She covers that in her Microwave Cooking section. 

She has a book, but many recipes can be found on her blog for free. She prices her recipes down to the cent, and every year she participates in a project called “Living Below the Line” where she has to live on 1 BP per day of food for five days. 

Things improved for me a little, but her website is my go to. I learned how to bake bread (using my crockpot, but that was my own twist), and I have a little cart full of things that saved me back then, just in case I need them again. She gives you the tools to feed yourself, for very little money, and that’s a fabulous feeling. 

Tip: Whenever you have a little extra money, buy a 10 dollar/pound/euro giftcard from your discount grocer. Stash it. That’s your super emergency money. Make sure they don’t charge by the month for lack of use, though.

I don’t care if it sounds like an advertisement–you won’t be buying anything from the site. What I DO care about is your mental, emotional, and physical health–and dammit, food’s right in the center of that. 

If you don’t need this now, pass it on to someone who does. Pass it on anyway, because do you REALLY know which of the people in your life is in need? Which follower might be staring at their own piggy bank? Trust me: someone out there needs to see this.

I don’t understand this weird new trend where we all pretend we just figured out corporate social media is an advertising tool. Like we’ve been lied to or something, and believed Denny’s started a tumblr just to hang out with us. It’s truly bizarre. And then the other half of the trend, where we just sort of yell at or try to mock the social media accounts as an anti-capitalist statement is just as weird but for a different reason… These accounts obviously aren’t run by like, the CEOs of the company. The only people seeing these ‘sick burns’ are the social media staff, who have nothing to do with all the unsavory shit we all despise about corporations. They’re probably underpaid, and their literally job is just “Hey make a funny informal ad” or “Hey interact with human beings”. It’s the online equivalent of doing this shit to cashiers at stores. Can you imagine that? Some cashier is like “Have a nice day” and someone responds “Your false corporate kindness is TRANSPARENT” and then screenshots it to brag about it later? It’s really super weird.

thank you.

as someone who works in social media marketing, this drives me nuts because no, we have very little control over how the social media strategy works, the job tends to be pretty low pay, and it’s overwhelmingly 20-something-year-old women because the lower status marketing jobs? go to women.

so like, the only person you’re touching with this snarky bullshit is that person. the corporate part of the chain isn’t going to give a damn and probably will never even notice. 

so just like. remember that while yeah, that social media account is part of a corporation and not your best friend - it is being run by a human being, and one who doesn’t have a whole lot of control or power in that corporate food chain.

Harry's interview on Quotidien

I: Can you hear me?

H: Yes

I: Welcome to Paris!

H: Thank you

I: How are you? Can you answer in French?

H: Good! A little bit. A tiny bit. Très bien et toi ?(very good and you?)

I: Very good, thank you. We start our interviews with “can you give us your five favourites words in English or French. Or a French sentence”. Someone told me you knew a French sentence.

H: Comment vous faites un café si délicieux? (How do you make such a delicious coffee?)

I: OK, that’s good.

H: That’s all I have.

I: Do you say it very often?

H: No... Yes

I: What does France mean to you? Is it something, someone etc...?

H: Best people I’ve known... I think her, *shows a fan* I guess. Fabien Barthez.

I: Yes, Fabien Barthez. Harry, you’re 23 years old and you’re one of the best known pop-star in the world. Everybody has expectations with your new album and single Sign Of The Times. Why did you choose that song? This is not what people were expecting.

H: I think I wanted to.. I've always liked music that made me feel something. You know I think writing it I could feet something I wanted to bring it out. I think it's a good indicator for me of what the album is to me. That's why I wanted to go with that first.

I: Billboard wrote that the single was "one of the more ambitious opening statements in pop this decade". Not bad, isn't it?

H: Thanks!

I: Do you have friends working at Billboard?

H: I don't know anyone at Billboard.

I: When we listen to the song we think of David Bowie, Queen, who else did you think of?

H: I mean, I think everyone, anything, any song you've ever listened to growing up or throughout your life or you've enjoyed, inspired you. There are a lot of different things. I wanted to just write and see what came out. I didn't know what I sounded like to make an album. So this process was as interesting for me as I think it will be for people listening to the album for the first time.

I: Do you know French singers other than Serge Gainsbourg? That's a tricky question.

H: I know Woodkid. He directed my music video.

I: Why him?

H: I think his videos are amazing, he's a really talented guy and I love French people so I worked with him.

I: When you're in Spain, do you say that you love Spanish people?

H: No!

I: It seems like everything has been easy...

H: Great tie.

I: You think so? It's French.

H: It's not a Spanish tie, isn't it?

I: Can I see your loafer? Oh yes! What is the brand? That's not French, isn't it? It's Italian.

H: No.

I: That's from the European Union!

H: Probably yeah.

I: It seems like everything has been easy for you, is it true?

H: Was what simple?

I: Your life, everybody wants a life like yours, with One Direction...

H: I mean, I feel very lucky to be able to make music, I feel very lucky to be able to make this, I feel very lucky today being in France and performing my song. I love this song. I can't complain.

I: What were the unpleasant things?

H: *thinking*

I: I don't know, say only one thing.

H: I think when you care so much about something, it's hard to get to the point where you feel like it's finished and it feels like you're adding and it never ends and it adds up. So I think the hardest part was getting into that point and be like "ok that's finished."

I: You said to the Rolling Stone magazine that most of the album was inspired by a woman. Really?

H: No I think, honestly, the album is much more about me than it is about anyone else. I think if I said the album is about a woman it kind of feels like, I don't know, I put a lot of work into this. I don't feel like it involves around woman. It's a lot about me and things I've never said before. It's more about me.

I: How did you start with a boy band and end with a solo career? Is it complicated?

H: It's been a lot of fun. You know we were very lucky to get to do some amazing things and at the moment in our lives, we're in a time where everyone is trying their own thing and have a good time. It's been amazing to see everyone doing their own thing as well. If I can do as well as the others, it'd be amazing.

I: Do you call them everyday or text them? Do you use What's app?

H: I don't have that.

I: Why?

H: Yes we talk, absolutely. And everyone is bringing stuff out. It's been a lot going on. It's been a good time.

I: This is the album cover! Can you describe it? Why did you choose this picture?

H: Yeah. So, I don't know. I worked with photographer Harley Weir, I'm a massive fan of her work. And that's amazing and I was lucky enough to work with her. I felt like this was what I wanted.

I: Why is it pink? Why the water? Why your back? Why? It's beautiful but why is it pink?

H: I don't know, man!

I: Really? You don't know?

H: I don't know. I don't think I want...

I: Apparently pink is Rock'n'roll's colour.

H: Apparently so. I don't know. I think it means something to me and if it means anything to anyone else, I wouldn't want to take away from that by explaining it. I think the cool thing about stuff like photos and art is you can just leave it. You don't have to explain it.

I: Everybody sees what they want to see.

H: Yes exactly.

I: Have you seen this?

*video of people reacting to Harry's single*

I: Your fans record themselves while listening to the song for the first time. You can hear relevant analysis and apparently they all really liked it. Do you read what people say about you on social media? On Youtube, Twitter, Instagram? Do you use Instagram?

H: Yes I use it a little bit.

*The public disagrees with Harry*

H: Yes I use it a little bit. I mean I wish everyone was having as good time as the girl who was like that with her hands. That's what I do when I listen to the song.

I: Are you the one using your Instagram? Do you use your own fingers or someone else does it for you?

H: Yes, I do mine.

I: Do you still vote in Redditch?

H: In?

I: Redditch!

H: That's where I was born?

I: Yes.

H: I don't live in Redditch.

I: So you don't vote there. Where did you vote?

H: London, yeah.

I: What do you think of the Brexit? Welcome to Europe!

H: Thank you very much, thanks. I mean, I don't really comment on politics. To me, anything that brings people together is better than things that pull people apart. That's ... yeah.

I: Yet, you are in favour of equality of rights, men, women, gay people, straight people... That's politics.

H: I don't know. I doesn't feel like politics. I think stuff like equality feels much more fundamental. I feel like everyone is equal. That doesn't feel like politics to me.

I: Your fans are fetishists. They know all of your tattoos, piece of jewellery, they have heart attacks when you cut your hair. Right now you're playing with their feelings. Do you know that?

H: Oh ok.

I: Yes! What is your favourite tattoo?

H: I think... I have a.. probably. I don't know, actually.

I: Which one is the latest?

H: The latest is this one there. *shows Arlo* And this one. *shows Jackson*

I: Jackson? All of them?

H: Yes.

I: What's the story behind your haircut? How much did you spend on hair products with One Direction?

H: Yeah, like a lot. I used a lot, yeah.

I: You're in Dunkirk, Christopher Nolan's new movie.

H: Yes.

I: How did you do?

H: I auditioned.

I: Look at you there.

H: I am, that's me.

I: Yes.

H: I auditioned and it was great. It's going to be a really cool movie.

I: Harry, it feels like we know you since you're a baby. The whole world discovered you in 2010 on X Factor.

*video of Harry's X Factor audition*

I: You auditioned alone but Simon Cowell had an idea... he put you in a band with Zayn, Louis, Liam and Niall. You became One Direction. You found the name One Direction and you sold millions of albums. One Direction are soon considered as the new Beattles and you filled the biggest stadiums. The whole world was talking about you. When you go out we prayed for your eardrums. You became UK's pride. David Cameron is in one of your music videos, your sang for the Queen. But in 2015... bang! Zayn left the band, fans couldn't get over it. But don't worry, their favourite is now on the cover of the Rolling Stone magazine, he's in Christopher Nolan's new movie, he's Mick Jagger on SNL... What you don't know is that we've met in 2012. You were in France to promote an album and now I have questions. First one! When you're in a car and fans are all around you, do you see that?

*video of fans around a car*

H: I think I've actually lost my shoe there. When I got in the car... I got in the car and I was like "how many shoes do I have?" Yes I lost my shoe.

I: I have another question! Do you still do that before going on stage?

*video of Harry and Lou*

I: Can we do it?

H: No.

*does it anyway*

I: What is the weirdest question someone asked you?

H: I think it was actually a French interview. I got asked if I would pee in a sink... Yeah.

I: Ok, that's weird!

H: It was the first question, the first question.

I: It puts you in the mood.

H: Yeah.

I: What is the question you never want to be asked ever again? Did I asked you that question?

*Harry asks the public*

H: Which one? Oh crush.

I: What?

H: Crush.

I: Oh ok. I didn't ask it! Did you know that a French author wrote a novel about you. It's called "Styles", it's about his obsession with you. It's in French. You can translate it.

H: Oh! Is that true?

I: Yes it's true. He dedicated to you. It's called "Styles" and it's a really good book. Read it!

H: Thank you.

I: Thank you very much Harry Styles for coming tonight. His first eponymous album comes out on the 12th May. Thank you Harry Styles.

H: Thank you.

I: Have a safe journey home.
