The Only Review Of Florence Pugh's Marmalade I Care For Is Paddington Bear's

Our hearts are full.

It’s been a tough news week. In amongst all the negativity that’s been swirling around us, one part of the internet has shone through the darkness, and that part of the internet is the conversation that Florence Pugh is having with Paddington Bear about marmalade.

First we had Florence Pugh document her marmalade making adventures on Instagram. 

As a side note, just looking at her jar is making me crave marmalade, and I know that this is going to end in a marmalade making attempt of my own. I guarantee it will not go this well.

Anyway, Who loves marmalade more than Florence Pugh? The answer is Paddington Bear, the friendly bear who almost exclusively scoffs marmalade and gets into mischief.

He appeared on Twitter and gave us this.

That may well and truly have made my life, but here’s the rest of the conversation that happened.

So now we live in a world where Florence Pugh and Paddington Bear are going to make sandwiches together  with marmalade that Florence has made herself. My skin is cleared, and my crops are watered.

There have been a couple of concerned people holding out for Paddingon’s safety. If you haven’t seen Florence Pugh in Midsommar, I’d absolutely recommend it, but the fate of bears in that movie is… not fantastic. If you haven’t seen the film, just know that it’s not a good place to be a bear. Or a human, for that matter.

It’s not a good place to be, full stop.

But back in the land of wholesome news, people are also calling for Florence to be a part of Paddington 3. The film has been confirmed for this year, but we don’t know any other details yet, but what I’m understanding is that there’s a chance. 

I’m officially nominating Florence Pugh and Paddington Bear for friendship of the year 2020, and re-reading this interaction every time the actual news reminds me how terrifying the real world is.

Jameela Jamil Gives The ‘Final Word’ On That Wild Munchausen Saga

"I’m tired of the bullying."

The Jameela Jamil saga has been a wild one to follow. It began when she was called out for being a judge on a voguing show, and in response to the backlash she came out as queer. She then admitted than she regretted coming out as queer, and THEN Jameela Jamil was accused of having Munchausen Syndrome – a condition that makes people fake illnesses and injury for attention.

It’s been a rough time for Jameela.

She’s now given what she’s called the ‘final word’ on the drama.

In a Twitter post, she starts by addressing the seemingly sketchy timeline of her modelling career, detailing that she did actually model, but “wasn’t very good” at it and therefore didn’t want to talk about it.

She also spoke about having to defend her health struggles.

“I’ve answered every question about my health. EDS [Ehlers-Danlos syndromes], MCAS [Mast cell activation syndrome], POTS [Postural tachycardia syndrome], all of which come together. Mercury poisoning. My clumsiness. Etc. (Which was hurtful and offensive to justify but I can’t stand lies.)”

“I’m tired of the bullying. The taunting over my mental and physical health. I’m sorry to the people who have Munchausen that your health was used as a punchline and slur by people like Piers Morgan and other such powerful people online.”

Wrapping up her post, Jameela Jamil spoke about the toll that the last few weeks of defending herself against Munchausen accusations have taken on her mental health. 

“Last week triggered me to a point of near death. I have a fragile past with suicide. If you live in pain and have to survive a lot, just to still be here, it’s *agonising* to have people tell you that you made it up. I would have preferred a happier, pain free life with more fun and experiences rather than just struggling through month to month.”

If you, or anyone you know, is struggling with mental health issues, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.

“What happened to me was incredibly cruel and scary and it triggered a lot of people who live in the same situation as me. Our lives are hard enough without gaslighting and abuse and I’m glad at least we know we have each other because all this shit is out in the open.”
