Wanna take bets on whose heart she isn't "holding", whatever that even means?
Her children's Jewish stepmom and her family. Guarantee she didn't even reach out to her. Which actually makes her an enormous pos.
I think she learned a little more about what's happening in Gaza and Israel TODAY and SHE needed to talk about it. And since she has zero friends and nobody to talk to she posted.
I personally prefer it when Influencers don't comment on humanitarian crises or war. Whatever they say it always comes across as box-ticking to avoid criticism, or trying to sound like they care or understand something that they don't care about or understand. They live in a protected first-world bubble where their biggest dilemma is what to buy from Target. They have absolutely no understanding of what it's like to live in a war-torn country, or live under the constant threat of terrorism or political violence. So for me it's better if they just stick to their subject (for Jen that's boring and pointless 'travel' content) and don't comment on it. I don't need them to comment for me to feel okay about what I'm seeing in the news. It's not okay and no amount of Instagram commentary will make it okay.
most people are woefully uninformed on this and the internet lately would be a lot better if people realised that they don't have to speak on something they don't know about. jen, this means you.
Amen!!! I follow a content creator on instagram and they posted this … I respected this so much because it was honest!!!!

Jen was vague booking about the Middle East because even after listening to Pantsuit Politics she doesn’t have even the slightest inkling of why there’s conflict there. She just thought she needed to say something performative about it but knew if she was any more specific her ignorance and apathy would show through.

It also doesn't help that she has zero interaction with other adults in the real world. She has no idea what to say in normal situations, let alone ones like this. So she's best off just shutting up.

Amen! I could never figure out why people get mad at Jen for not mentioning current events. None of them should -- unless they have some specific connection to the event(s).
I'd honestly rather Jen not mention it at all. She has no insight, gives no resources to help and uses it as a moment to focus attention on herself. The second she diverts it to herself and her feelings she loses credibility. And it happens every single time she comments on current events.
March 2: Attends a SK event with her ex ~15: COVID hits Chicago.

This year has been a lot of processing and the shifting family dynamics for me, which is something that I knew would be a big shift, but I didn't really understand the depth of that shift and how so profoundly it would impact me emotionally...the family's great, we're all in a really good place. We see each other all the time, but we're all still processing and shifting...that's been the hardest thing for me this year, has been managing all of that...that's been a big emotional roller coaster and definitely something that I have been slapped in the face with, just from my own brain, and it continues to surprise me and catch me off guard and then take me through the depths of processing and and--quite frankly--grieving certain things.

I still don't have a lot of furniture..I probably won't for a long time, because furniture is really expensive and I have to be responsible as an individual budgeting for a family! Like... I have to be responsible about those sorts of things, which I'm happy to do. It just hasn't been the mode of existence for the past 15--well 14 years prior to this past year--where I was in a situation where I could just get whatever I wanted whenever I wanted, and not really have to budget at all. In fact I was encouraged not to budget, really, and to just do the things and get the things and and I kind of settled into that and...I'm happy to budget and it makes it actually makes me feel really good...it's just different. It's a change and I'm honoring that it's a change and it's something I'm navigating and I'm actually enjoying.

I was a little bit of a sad sack for January, I was just in my feelings and I needed to be in my feelings...I think we all go through seasons and I think it's important to embrace and, not only others but ourselves. I think we can be pretty critical of other people...I'm the most critical of myself by far, and that's saying something because there are a lot of people who are very critical of me for whatever reason, um, which is fine, whatever, that really has nothing to do with me that's really 100% about them. Anybody who's super critical of you it's completely 100%--and there is no ifs, ands or buts about this--is 100% them deflecting their own issues that they're triggered on. It's not about you at all.

Last week I got news that knocked me. It was just extraordinarily devastating news. And it is not easy to process these sorts of things. I mean everybody has things like this, right? When we can't predict them, and it just - doesn't it feel like, like it's one thing after another? I know so many people who've felt the same. At the same time, that period, those six to eight weeks at the beginning of the year that I spent wintering gave me so much strength. It was a period of processing and grieving and moving through things that strengthened me.”

The story I grappled with intensely at this moment (august 2021) when I was at the height of processing my grief over losing so many people in my already very small social circle of trust was not feeling worthy of any relationships. That I am not right for anyone and that no one is right for me. That I'm doomed to walk a solitary path for the rest of my days. I've worked on this a lot since then and am making progress, albeit slow. Back in August I was deep in despair over this. It was a really tough time.

I went all out and I got myself a really nice meal and i'm so glad I did, because it just felt like a celebration. This whole afternoon has felt that way...this is the first time I'm coming here solo and there's just a lot built into that... I'm just really happy. I didn't really know if I was going to be really happy here, because there's just a lot of personal history tied into this place. I've never done this alone. I was kind of like uncertain about being at Disney World by myself but so far, I'm having the best time...Having it always be a place to go as a couple or as a family, it feels a little weird...
