I genuinely thought that was satire but I found her on FB so she’s definitely real. It reads like a self indulgent cringe Junior Cert essay.
I’m obviously not reading that, 2 paragraphs was more than enough, but this is the Irish Times just paying bottom dollar prices for bottom dollar content, why pay a journalist who would want journalist fees when you can get this mess of words for a packet of Tayto and one bottle of water from an Aldi 24 pack.
“Rivkah McKinley is a writer”, press F to doubt
I’ve no idea what I just read. The private school alumnae connections must’ve worked hard to get this one published.
I regret every second I wasted reading that.
There’s a detachment from reality in this that I can’t quite nail down. Did she just say having a job was a poor people thing or did I just misread it because that’s what I got from this. Ahhh fuck this, I’m going to make a cuppa tea
What a brilliant fucking article. Reddit lives up to its name.
Can’t read it but my 18 yr old brother is a bartender/waiter in a hotel and does 52 hours a week and we never see him so maybe he wrote this 💀
I only hope that someday this person matures enough to look back on making something like this public and has the self awareness to see why it’s bad.
It’s clearly written by a young person who’s fairly insecure about themselves. The franticness of it I can relate to if I remember where my own head was at at maybe 19. But the lack of maturity and edginess of this is going to be grating to people.
It’s pretty bad that these days I can read something like that and not be sure if it’s a straight article or satire.

This is a joke right?

For her sake I hope it’s poor satire.
Bloggers writing in the paper.
Journalists are resigned to blogs.
