there is absolutely, on no level, any chance that she really understood the darkness of wuthering heights, it’s really a book about obsession rather than love (that’s what makes it such an interesting read!)

to quote below, get a job, stay away from her! yet another fictional character who needs to protected from wuby

Oh they were all the rage on the York Moors in the late 1700s.

that’s the thing that stood out to me the most when i read wuthering heights tbh, all those references to kathy and her red beret.

She looks like she put a cauldron on her head, at least wear it right

Ruby will probably commend Heathcliff on his productivity, "Heathcliff kept a list where he made a mark depending on whether Cathy was with him or the Lintons."

"A morning routine of Hareton Earnshaw and his ethanolic father."

oddly metaphorical for her life tbh

Did anyone see her Blue Monday short the book club marketing in the ponkin planner...

Ruby on Goodreads: “An Astronomical book, one of the greatest classics. I read it while pondering the inclement moors. Brontë’s writing is abstract in the most carnal way. The wuthering heights were my most very favourite part.”

Oh god she’s going to try and pull a Jack Edwards on us with overpriced channel memberships, isn’t she

”The heights did not wuther as much as I had expected. 2 stars.”

Which is exactly why I can't believe she's teaching English!

I mean… learning just ‘for the sake of learning’ is all well and good when mummy and daddy will allow you to indefinitely live rent free in their mansion , some of us are quite literally just at university so that we can get a job and pay our bills. That’s how life works in the real world.

Justifying her vacuous existence and actually an extremely unproductive existance at that- me thinks. At close to her age I was working in a F/T professional health care job. I took full responsibility for the assessment, diagnosis, management and discharge of children on my caseload. I had to earn a living not parade about living a fantasy life cosplaying female protastgonists from well known books. I guess it's so obvious from my posts how much I can't bear Ruby's presentation of herself. I say presentation as I've no idea who the real Ruby is. Anyone know?

She really has just tossed the English language into a shredder with her OTT fake Emma Watson accent. Just utter mush-mouthed gibberish.

I just unfollowed her on Goodreads. She’s read 7 books in 2 weeks and I’m fed up with her cluttering up my homepage with her kiddie books. I want to follow people who’ll give proper recommendations of things I might enjoy.

In my experience when you're 18 and choosing what to do with your life, way too many people tell you to "follow your dreams! If you have a passion go for it! Don't choose something you don't like just because you think it'll be easier to find a job!"
And the result is that now that my uni education path is almost over and I'm starting to look at career opportunities, not a day goes by that I don't tell myself whyyy didn't you choose a more expendable degree. Why did you listen to those people. And my degree isn't even actually "that bad" when it comes to jobseeking, but it's not a law or engineering degree either. And now that I'm older and I look back I see that I could have succeeded in one of those more "career-oriented" degrees too, even if they weren't exactly my absolute favourite thing, and I ask myself what the hell I was thinking.
So imo it's the opposite, I think that way too many young people go to uni with this mindset (that you shouldn't choose based on job opportunities but rather your interests) and end up disappointed years later when they are looking for a job.

(I hope no one interprets this comment as dismissive of humanities degrees or like I'm saying that they're not worth it. I'm saying that rather than young people choosing based on career options, I see a lot of young people choosing based on passions and interests and then being let down by society when it seems like there's no place for them in the workforce)

I think this is what irks me the most. Like she says to study for the sake of it and all this tit because she needs to feel morally superior to all us stupid plebs who have to work for a living.

AAlso pisses me off because she frames it as "gosh why don't people study just for the sake of it anymore, all the stupid lazy Gen Z who don't enjoy learning" instead of "why has late stage capitalism and corporate greed made it impossible for young people to lead a life they enjoy without either selling their soul to a 9-5 or being absolutely skint"
