ruby granger : Most liked Posts

From The Bookseller, the publishing industry's magazine.

So she thinks she's addressed the problem enough that she doesn't have to mention it again. One day off Instagram (which nobody would have noticed), and addressing it on a story which disappeared after 24 hours, so it's like it never happened. Nice.

Ruby needs to channel this: dropping the facade of the pale Victorian waif and focusing on having fun, laughing and relaxing. She doesn't have to wear make up or wigs if she doesn't want to, she looks so different here, like she's had a life boost.

I felt inspired by Wednesday’s video to write this limerick… I think it sums up the majority of the content:

The fake productivity queen
Has filmed yet another routine:
There’s dust on the floor,
An open fridge door,
And some questionable cuisine.

I think Ruby is arrogant and entitled enough to believe that her degree, together with her YT following, Pumpkin Productivity etc. is enough. She'll apply again and again and each time, she's digging a deeper hole for herself. She's in for a dire reality check.

I help moderate a student forum, and one thread always sticks out to me: it was a mother asking for advice on behalf of her daughter, who was applying to Oxford for the 5th(!) time in a row. Her mother desperately wanted to help her accept that Oxford just wasn't going to happen, and she was fed up of financially supporting someone who refused to get a job so that she could spend every waking moment pouring over Oxford application/interview prep. I hope Ruby doesn't turn out like that, it was really sad reading.

everyone who is anti landlord is serving me such amazing communist vibes tonight i love you all stan karl marx

I'm sorry but judging someone for their bra straps is kind of weird, it's 2021.

Stop calling it a hotel. It is a tiny B&B in the heart of Concord, in the center, within walking distance of the majority of sights. It has 6 rooms in it. People around here will recognize it on sight due to the wallpaper and white bedspreads. If she had shown a picture of a room at the Wayside Inn in Sudbury I would have known that too, and probably the room number because I've stayed there numerous times myself and there are only 10 rooms in the original inn where you can stay. Want a taste of Gilmore Girls? Put aside your romantic visions. This is a small town, small and intimate community, everyone knows each other, everyone knows what everyone is doing. We don't go into stores with a look of awe. Our friends work in them, they own them. This isn't Boston or New York City or London. We have 10's of thousands of "literary" tourists every year. We know exactly where they stay, where they eat, what they will do, where they will shop. She doxes herself.

I literally couldn’t give a single fuck if it’s an airbnb, a hotel or a palace she’s staying in, you shouldn’t be naming her location on here. It’s out of order.
I also don’t care if she’s staying in your town and ‘everyone knows what everyone is doing’ so therefore you think she’s doxing herself, it’s literally against tattle rules to expose influencers locations or the addresses they’re staying at. It’s the sort of thing that gets threads banned.

I hereby nominate ”What a depacle!” as our next thread title

She’s such an idiot, I can’t

The plot of her picture book:
- a middle-aged man named Chris has a sock filled with presents
- he reaches into the sock and something feels squishy, so he gets all excited
- but it’s a shoe, which he doesn’t like, because while a squishy sock is doubleplusgood, a squishy shoe is not
- an ugly woman comes down the lane and makes horse sounds because an animal has shat on her shoes
- Chris gives her the shoe
- ???
- profit

New thread title idea:

#9 - roses are red, violets are blue, I’d shag Daddy Bones and you would too

Update: on her 'Granger lifestyle' Pinterest board, she has this book:


May I nominate Ruby Granger #31: At home again: a Victorian children's book
as the next thread title?
This book encapsulates way too much of what she's been displaying: moving back into her childhood room, obsession with white Victorian sanatorium dresses, childhood, reading children's books...

For some reason I always read forum threads starting from the most recent message and go backwards, so imagine my shock seeing several messages talking about ketamine usage before seeing messages saying it's Martha. I thought we had accessed some Ruby Granger After Dark material.

Honestly, just because *some* people have had bad experiences with landlords doesn’t mean that all landlords are awful people, so it makes me a bit disappointed that people are ready to make such sweeping generalisations about anyone that rents out property. I know plenty of absolutely lovely people who rent out property and even my own parents have done so with absolutely no problems on the renters’ end. A property is an investment and it makes sense to invest in a house. Now, it would be stupid to let that house sit empty and not rent it out - so most people put it out for renting. It makes sense. Ruby clearly was able to invest in property at a young age and it makes sense that she would rent it out. Not everyone rich who buys property is a horrible person. Now, concerning the thing with her tenants: I’m not sure if she said this in the video as it’s not up anymore - but usually tenants would be told when they were expected to move out, either in their contract or informally by the landlord. A lot of people have bad experiences with dodgy and flaky landlords but generally, I would expect someone like ruby to be the type who goes about things professionally and informs the tenant when she expects to move in herself. Moreover I don’t *think* the tenants had moved in by the time she filmed the video.
I nitpick on some of Ruby’s actions but I think it’s wrong to make generalisations and assumptions like that when I personally don’t think that’s how she would go about it at all.

Ngl I'm not surprised that your parents are landlords

It is very difficult for someone to fully understand where frustrated tenants are coming from/just how messed up the rental system is in the UK if they are essentially part of the problem (no matter how lovely they are as individuals)

imo no one should profit off something as basic as housing if they've already got a home of their own - and unless your parents charged very low rent they were most likely part of a system that makes it very difficult for renters to be in the position to buy their own home. Also many 'satisfied' tenants just don't complain bc they're scared of being evicted or bc it's more trouble than it's worth

no imagine you're driving to work and see your landlord twirling in a field

Tbh I doubt her colleagues would appreciate her presence though, they'd probably think she's only doing the job as a 'hobby' and an experiment in slumming it.

Picture the scene: You're working your ass off trying to earn a living, and some silver-spoon fuckwit comes in dressed in Little Dorrit cosplay.

Her language is one of manic nonsense and her sentences contain both words that don't exist, and words that do exist but are used in a combination heretofore unheard by the ears of humans.

You try to train her and mention she might want to take notes, so she gets out a quill and ink calligraphy set but also her MacBook to fire up Notion and appears to be trying to be using both simultaneously.

She rants and rambles gleefully about Notion for some time, but even after 45 minutes of this, you're still none the wiser as to what its benefits or functions are.

She asks to be excused to powder her nose. Suddenly things start to make sense; you assume "powdering her nose" is a euphemism - a cocaine habit may be the explanation for her manic lunacy.

She's gone for an hour. You set off in search of her to find that she's set up a camera on a shelf, and is filming herself walking up and down an aisle, over and over. You steer her back to the training, but her eyes wildly dart around the building. She's transfixed by the people working an actual job, like it's a concept that was completely alien to her.

She cheerfully shrieks to each new person she passes: "Hello, it's Roobee!" The deranged grimace and awkward, faux-regal wave she does when yelling this "greeting" makes it seem like a sinister threat, but her macabre intentions aren't yet clear. You speed up the pace through the building to avoid frightening anyone else further.

She points to much of the workplace equipment, parroting the same query each time, "What is that? Is that sustainable?" The things she is confused by includes: staplers, safety equipment, forklift trucks, conversations between adults, and substantial, nutritious lunches.

After her fourth time of interrupting her training to vlog herself rambling about sponsored products and books she doesn't appear to have read, you quickly usher her out the door and hand her photo to security to ensure she never returns.

Tell me you've never engaged in conversation with someone who works a full-time job without telling me.

These "I never understood why [blank]" ponderances she always comes out with are the kind of mysteries that are easily cleared up by simply asking someone, but that's hard to do when she insists on only socialising with children and fellow workshy Tories.

But to answer your question, Rubert, it's a bit like wondering why someone lets knowing they have to go for a root canal in the afternoon ruin their morning; the dread of an impending Monday morning can sully a perfectly good Sunday.
