Anyone seen this TikTok where she claims she’s never liked talking about the weather (
) but discovered yesterday that people use it as small talk? Also, another comment points out that this week’s Oxford magazine has an article on this very thing. This girl has never had an original thought it her life.

Professor Tweeingdon: We're going away, far away! Where she can't find us!
One hut-on-a-rock later, a sudden banging on the door. It crashes down to reveal...
"Hello, it's ROOBEE!"

sorry this is a strange comment. whether you are sceptical about ruby’s anxiety or not, anxiety disorders are a mental health condition that people can and do suffer from; and in turn, anxiety can definitely affect your mental health. mental health issues are not restricted to suicidal thoughts :/Okay I'm done trusting people.
That other person made it sound like she had committed suicide.
Everyone is anxiousssssss, that doesn't mean you're struggling with your mental health, that's normal.
Thank u very much for the video!!!
Thanksss.Some people love to exaggerate. I should have read your comments 1st...

Martha filling the content void left by Ruby and releasing her own daily routine video.
I generally find Martha infinitely more tolerable and likeable than Ruby (not that that's a high bar to step over), but good lord, she's reached peak levels of goth teen cliché by reading alone in the rain in a graveyard.
Other than that, it's a video that feels full of (completely unintentional) Ruby shade as she accidentally dunks on her sister for 7 whole minutes.
- Martha points out that she has no embroidery skills whatsoever, but she can at least use an iron. Ruby felt that.
- She does laundry like a self-sufficient adult human. Ruby could never.
- She casually shows that she can play the saxophone, which is more talent than Ruby has ever had at anything aside from lying and stealing.
- She makes a point to show that she uses a random playing card she had lying around as a bookmark, where Ruby makes a big superficial production out of hand-making shitty bookmarks or charging money for cheap, tatty ribbon bookmarks.
- She also made the smart choice by dropping out of uni when she realised she'd given it a fair shot, hated it and would never use the degree anyway. Meanwhile Ruby's rapidly deteriorating forcing herself to finish uni despite having no interest in any of it and constantly complaining about every aspect of uni culture apart from the part where she gets praise for things.
I'm sure Ruby (hopefully) said it a lot more supportively in real life, but it's hilarious how passive-aggressive and condescending Ruby's comment sounds here.
"Marsha, I don't think uni is the right path for you. Some lesser people just aren't built for the macademia struggle."
"My name's Martha."
"Yes, that's what I said - Morla."
"MARTHA."
"Mohmoh?"
"MARTHA."
"Murrmurr?"
"MAR-THA!!"
"Yes, of course, Marvin. Now if you'll excuse me, I have 36 unsolicited letters to write to the same lecturer."

I see what you're saying but at the end of the day, you don't have to look unhealthy to have an eating disorder.
I haven't been active lately because I'm having an awful week. On Sunday my close family (like 5 people in total) got together to celebrate my great-grandma's 100th birthday. We took all the precautions we could to be there without putting her in danger, we wore masks, we kept our distance as much as we could, we got tested in the morning to make sure we wouldn't accidentally infect her. My brother and my mother couldn't go because my brother was feeling sick from the vaccine and my mother had just found out she had been in contact with someone who tested positive and didn't want to risk it. They were super sad about it and my great-grandma was too because my brother is basically her favourite grandchild.
On Monday my grandma who lives with her had a mild fever, so my father booked a Covid test for her for later this week. Yesterday she called my father because my great-grandma was feeling sick and couldn't breathe. They managed to get her settled and she went to bed. My dad tested my grandma with one of those home kits and she tested positive, so she isolated herself to the ground floor (thankfully she's fine, she just had a bit of a cold). This morning my great-grandma woke up feeling fine. My dad arranged to get her tested too, but before he could do it she fell ill again this afternoon. They called an ambulance but it was useless and she died a few hours later.
Now I'm at my uni flat because I moved back on Monday, my mom told me I needn't go home because they already sealed the casket due to Covid risk, we don't know if we'll be able to hold a funeral, my grandma couldn't attend anyway because she's under quarantine, and I would not be able to stay at home with my parents since they also had contact with the two of them to take care of them. Thankfully everyone has had their booster dose so even if they did get Covid they should be fine.
On top of that I just spent the last two days stressing because the booster dose I had on Saturday wasn't registered correctly and I couldn't get my green pass, which is needed to take public transport and go to uni. As soon as that was solved and I could take my mind off of it, after literally spending two days not being able to sleep at night, my mom called me because my grandma was feeling ill. I need a break. I want to go to sleep and wake up in 2025 when hopefully the pandemic is over.

It's getting really boring tbh reading people say over and over 'leave Ruby alone, she's wearing a mask, stop policing whether she touches things' etc etc. Several posters have already explained why they called her out on it. The same discussion is just getting rehashed.

"We were made cups of tea and coffee, with access to a water jug full of ice and lemons."
Mother Granger's writing style is so cringeworthy. She's trying to make things sound more flowery and intellectual.
What's wrong with saying "Serena made us a lovely cup of tea and had even gone to the effort of putting lemon slices into a jug of iced water - I felt like I was being spoiled at a spa!"
But no, she can't just say there was water. They had access to water.
By trying to sound less "common" she has ended up sounding stilted and artificial instead.

In honour of Ruby's dissertation, her exploratory forays to track down Lewis Carroll's letters, and her apparent commitment to making a lot of awful and/or inexplicable faux pas this year (and it's only mid Feb), here is a thread title nomination that reflects all of them:
Ruby Granger #24: Ruby's Adventures in Blunderland
Ruby Granger #24: Ruby's Adventures in Blunderland
I passionately hate this bullshit trend of just regular sentences turned into a "poem" because there is a line break.
Hitting the enter
key, here and there,
does not, in any circumstances,
make this statement
a
poem.

I have the current thread title on both Ruby and Jade.....where's my book deal?New thread to start off the weekThank you @Princess Peach for the title!
Roobee continues erratic, eats half-slices of toast, imagines it’s October in the middle of the summer, gets called out for lying and has bad mental health days as a result, has quit wasting time on social media (yet somehow is posting more than ever), and wades ankle-deep in the corpses of a decade’s worth of dust bunnies.

I think it's a weird combination of her trying to be relatable to her audience while also having zero understanding of what normal, everyday things that grown-ups buy should look like or cost because she's lived in a bubble of fantasy and privilege her entire life.
The rug thing is a glaring indication of that - that's not a full-size rug, it's tiny, and £40 is too expensive for something so small that looks like it'll disintegrate if you run a hoover over it. It's a rug for a child's bedroom that you'd expect to pay £10 for at Argos.
But for someone who has never considered the cost of anything before, in her mind it's probably a good deal, and maybe she thinks to the unwashed masses who must dream of owning a giant Oriental rug, this is a majestic middle ground and surely a bargain. Surely poor people are humble and grateful for but the smallest glimpse of prosperity, so everything looks big and expensive to them! Look at this gigantic rug the size of a postage stamp!
In reality, they could've gotten a much nicer, larger and more durable one for £40, and it would've covered much more of that cheap carpet that their landlord put in and Ruby can't be bothered to hoover properly (check out the latest video for her expert hoovering technique - just go over the same 3 spots a few times and ignore 85% of the carpet's real estate.) I'm sure they were restricted to some extent by having to buy things from retailers supported by the Karma app, but even so, her trying to sell the whole thing as a huge bargain is deluded.
I'm honestly quite shocked she didn't buy one of those bags of fake autumn leaves you can buy for £1 at The Works and just cover the living room in them.Ha sorry, we call it ”midsummer” where I live and don’t actually have the ”first day of summer/spring” concept at all, so I didn’t think of it
Ruby: "And these beautiful autumn leaves that I used to cover the floor, counters and every shelf of the fridge really helps culpitate a sense of--"
Blakeney: "--Sorry, do you mean 'cultivate'?"
Ruby: "Oh, Blakeney, you're such a character! You're always making up words like that! That's why I'm glad we're such good friends! Anyway, it really helps culpitate a wonderful dark academia vibe which is super aesthetic. And I also found these tattered curtains in an old trunk that belonged to my great, great grandmother, so we're using that as a tablecloth."
Blakeney: "It has an awful lot of spiders and cobwebs on it..."
Ruby: "It's so aesthetic."
Blakeney: "Are you sure these curtains weren't buried with your great, great grandmother? They smell like corpses and mouldy turnips."
Ruby: "And I also hung up this beautiful old map of Soviet Russia signed by someone called Joseph Stalin."
Blakeney: "...You know who that is, right?"
Ruby: "Pssh! Of course! He's the author of the Goosebumps books! They're very scary! And they fit the autumnal aesthetic!"
Blakeney: "...I'm moving out."
Ruby: "This video is sponsored by Skillshare."
She'll donate them to an underfunded state school. #giving #blessed
