I just saw this and I don’t know why, but it made me think of Ruby

My husband is playing this right now and I had to think of you both 
That was me who made the comment. I agree with you, its so much more her style because she can just focus on aesthetic, flash some books around and best of all, she doesn't have to go into too much detail with analysis because not enough time. Her long-form content is getting quite boring. She tries to pad it out with footage of empty paddocks and fields but how many times can someone watch that? And there are content creators out there who do it so much better. DarlingDesi or CottageFairy for example (if people are into that sort of thing)

What does she mean by 'quantum;? Once again, describing something in a way that is just a bunch of words strung together

Every post from her reads like a child's 'What I did on my weekend' school report run through an AI language translator.
Quantum mechanics??
Lol accurate. I've never read or heard such a dull description of a night at live theatre. Its like she tries to make everything sound so deep and intellectual but it ends up coming across as empty. Almost like she is disconnected from the true experience of it.
Maybe? I think she's been skim reading the Black Holes book by Brian Cox, the one her mother got her for ChristmasQuantum mechanics??
I've just never heard 'quantum' used that way in a sentence.
Yeah, she did. One of her Miss Patina dresses is called the 'Villette' dress I believe...Didn't she mention Villette once and just said that it's a 'school story from a teacher's perspective'?
My girl literally writes like I did when I was 11 and desperately using thesaurus.com every other word and using the most complicated sounding synonyms that definitely weren't used in the correct context so my Death Note fanfictions sounded like they were written by someone older and smarter than I was!!
It did not work.
Oh hi hello look what I found
I remembered she had talked about "having a paper published" and I wondered what became of it, so I googled "'Ruby Bones' essay".
edit: It's just as we always imagined - word salad cobbled together from way too many sources and not a single original thought to hold it together.

On a different note. I hope just hope Ruby's job gives her a sense of reality. If she is a member of staff at her old school surely surely but surely she can't expect to be nututred in the same manner as she so obviously was as a pupil. Surely she'll recognise she is there in a totally different capacity from that of a pupil. Sadly I foresee her introducion as being one of "Welcome back Ruby. She was a pupil at this school and even became head girl. She is such a credit to us blardy blardy blar..." in the vein of what a smart pupil we produced. I can just imagine the glow in which Ruby will sit after so much praise. I have a suspicion when the school realise she isn't as amazing as all that her light will dim and they'll be pleased when she moves on. Just my ideas but honestly I can see this happening. On the reverse side Rubes could turn out to be amazing. My opinion will be not but whoknows what hidden qualities she may have - hmmmmm????
In my experience, the opinions teachers have about collegues very often diverge from the opinions students have about their teachers. It's relatively easy to make yourself appear competent and kind when you just recount how it was in a classroom vs. when you're in there for an entire lesson and have to follow what the teacher wants. Given that Ruby was able to get such good grades at uni (despite her obvious inability to summarize the substance of a book and the impression it had on her), we cannot expect something like justice here, she is even able to fool her professors, fooling her collegues at school (in case it is a school she'll be working at, who knows) will be so much easier.
On a side note, I started to listen to The Art of War (audiobook) because the discussion on here has made me interested. I can say a) it's really worth reading and b) Ruby's review is really trash ...
Oh thankyou for this blessing!Oh hi hello look what I found

My brain when trying to read it:
Yeah, this definitely lines up with the essay tactics we'd suspected from her - it reads like she stole three or four essay arguments from respected critics, couldn't decide which thesis she wanted to pass off as her own and just slapped them all together without regard for coherence or original thought. Just a complete, meandering mess of borrowed quotes and disconnected ideas barely glued together by a few garbled sentences.
"This essay will explore how AMMILY DICKINSON was actually not a hermit and not not a hermit! But first a few thousand words about our lord and saviour Jesus Christ."
"Cristanne Miller’s forthcoming Emily Dickinson’s Letters (2023) will include eighty-three new ‘letter-poems’ not identified in Johnson and Ward’s 1986 letter anthology, and stresses that many of Dickinson’s poems took the form of letters."
Why the duck is Ruby speculating about the contents of unread upcoming books in an academic essay? Did she literally just cram an undeclared ad into a published essay??
look what I have found on her old school's website:

Oh god, not even a teaching assistant job, they literally gave her an part-time English teacher job with no qualifications, no experience and no understanding of basic English. Piper's Corner: Haven for Nepo Babies.
Never let anyone tell you you can't achieve anything you want, just as long as daddy can donate enough money to buy your way into it.
