I know this is such a first world problem but seeing influencers hold those little mics to their chins as they talk really really annoys me! Just clip them on to your top!

I guess she’s busy panicking over her diss, and it’s going to be a disappointment anyway, but I’m still going to ask - when are we getting a new video?
Also, is she ever going to actually talk about her dissertation topic? You’d think she’d be on fire for her topic and wanting to talk about it, like most grad students are who share their academic journey online. Blurring for semi-OT I attended a doctoral dissertation defense this week. It was in the field of ethnomusicology/musical composition, and the now-doctor had been doing field research on some very obscure indigenous music for twenty years. It was surprisingly emotional, because there was just so much passion and humanity and dedication involved, and they were clearly not doing it just to have an academic degree. Roobee doesn’t have even 5% of the spark I saw.

Thanks for the new thread. Here's a link to Ruby's latest video:
I spent like 30 seconds wondering ''who's that?'' Hilary Tahrm? Never heard of her.

I, like Ruby, always dreamt of being a writer. However, then, unlike Ruby, I realised I’m not a writer, I just love the idea of writing a novel and accepted and did something else.
when (if?!) will she realise that having lovely, soft focus, sun hazed montage of images of writing, whilst sitting in old libraries, river side benches or skanky old, freezing cold bedrooms doesn't actually mean you’re a writer. You can’t just manifest creativity if you don’t have the natural skills.
Apologies if the above doesn’t make sense - I’m tanked up on gin and, most importantly, I’m not a good writer

She appears to have lost her mind slightly.

I just started watching the latest video, but omg doesn't she have bigger problems on her mind than making a pouch and getting bird seed? Isn't she close to finishing her MA? She sounds like a protagonist of a child's book, with imaginary problems and completely divorced from reality.
Also, the pavement on their patio is overgrown with moss. It's sad to see that they do not take care of that nice house they have. Once the moss starts growing, so can some other grass, which can lead to crackling and destruction of the pavement. For a family that travels a couple of times a year and lives in such a nice house they can be so trashy...

I can't see her having a full-time job. Children possibly, but not a job. Even children would be a big maybe because she can't be a child herself if she has them.

Her house really is gorgeous. This moulding on the walls, the massive windows, the high ceilings. It’s such a pity that their sofas look like they came from the local dump. It makes me so sad because the house just looks so dirty, empty and uncared for. It’s like they don’t take pride in it at all. To Ruby’s credit her bedroom is actually decorated quite nicely (except for that horrible blanket she uses as a rug). I mean ‘nice’ is generous but compared to the rest of the house it may as well be in an interior design magazine.
I just can’t get over how sad and empty this room looks
literally looks like they’ve just moved in. I do wonder if Ruby is embarrassed of the state of her house or if she doesn’t realise. She’s always refused to do a house tour but that might be because she doesn’t want to come across as ‘too rich’.

You just know she wears war effort utilitarian underwear (or as my grandmother used to call it 'ration fashion') made of old curtains because it's an 'aesthetic'.
It seemed as if she was trying to do a bit of Wes Anderson in that video combined with Lewis Carroll's nonsense poetry. She seemed not like herself and almost rather manic in that video or as if something was no quite right. I am not sure if it was the blue porridge and carrot or having a bird tea party.
what an opening, future generations will look back in awe

In Japanese there is a term 箱入り娘 which means "pet daughter" or a daughter that led a sheltered life. No wild experiences, always close to her parents, well mannered, and polite. Such daughters usually stay around the house after finishing school to "help around the house" but in reality they are kept under their parents care and supervision. I see such a future for Ruby with her constant visits to her family home and her inability to live her life on her own.We are speculating now, what she is doing after her Masters: And there is an opportunity that she can do both:
Studying/ staying in academia AND living in her childhood bedroom:

Could it be Martha? She's been doing more of Ruby's social media stuff.
I think it's what @noodlehead1 said about Alice in Wonderland. She's aiming for quirky but doesn't get the tone right, so it just comes across as weird. Someone else mentioned that the video was made on April Fools, which could also explain the strangeness.ah, she's back with a sponsored video.
Edit:
wow this is uncomfortable...
sorry but the carrots/porridge combination is insane. People don't make blue porridge, Ruby, because they don't want to feel queasy.
Why are teacups 'sensitive'? Beacause their handles fall off? wwhhhhhhhat is she on about?
She's eating her porridge out of a tea cup with a wooden stirring spoon.
A person without a to do list is like a person without a rainhat?! errrrrrrr okay?!
She's talking far too much about birdseed.... and now she'd putting some in a cloth pouch....what?!
And she's put her food on the ground and is eating it under the treehouse.
And then squashes flowers in the middle the book she is currently reading...
Something is not right here.
Agree with your comment though. That treehouse picnic looked grim - so uncomfortable and muddy! Also couldn't bring myself to care about the BARDseed at any point during the video.
And whhyyy is she still having problems replying to a single email?
Ruby: ''Maybe I should make a pouch'' Maybe you should answer your email.
