Ammonite? Isn't that too scandalous and erotic for a innocent and fragile Victorian child?

Dear Bella,
"I'm sorry for just how long it has been The summer has now came, and the meadows are ??? with the newty? ??? promise left by spring. Pre-autumn will come just next month (that always makes me think of you and Andrea)."
If my friend sent this to me, I would assume they were in a dangerous situation and this is a coded letter lol there is no bleeping way anyone would send me something this pointless.
She truly is not like other girls.
Ugh, she's doing this on purpose, isn't she

‘the meadows are full with the newly fulfilled promise left by spring’. Ruby’s prose isn‘t just purple (PHARRRPLE), it’s positively ultraviolet.
It also helps that unlike other students , Ruby has no other responsibilities or a job that making YouTube videos and that she didn't do for weeks. So she does have enough time to tweak and work on her dissertation and assignments among with her usual writing methods. It's not like you see Ruby having to wake up at four to get work done for her lecturer or an assignment which is due but she has to start work at 1pm and the rest of the day is written off for getting her coursework done.
I need to keep reminding myself that when it comes to my own masters and grades. I somehow end up comparing myself to Ruby, thinking that I'm doing badly or I'm not getting enough studying done ( I used to be stupid enough watch her 14 hours study days and I would replicate them). I need to remind myself I'm working full time as well and that I've moved and wife had an operation while ive been attempting to write a dissertation.
Admittedly it's hard to shake off the feeling that I'm doing poorly compared to ruby's and I'm too old for this now. I don't know if this is the effect of study tube in general on me as well as Ruby marketing herself as the perfect and productive student with her 12 hour days. I don't know If anyone feels the same or I'm just a bit bonkers

Ruby has no responsibilities beyond herself. She doesn't have a job, she doesn't have to deal with financial stress, she doesn't need to take care of her parents, she doesn't take care of her household, she doesn't have kids, she doesn't have a relationship, she doesn't need to clean or cook, and she doesn't have a social life to maintain. Her only responsibility, except for school, is her channel; as we know, she applies no effort to creating good content. Her audience is too obfuscated by her prodigy persona, blonde hair, and ridiculous accent to notice her poor editing, recycled clips, and lazy ideas. Please don't compare yourself to her. She lives in fantasy island and you seem to be an adult living in the real world. I congratulate your decision to pursue a master's degree while having a full life. I hope your wife is better. Good luck with your studies!

where is this from?
She has to show us her ink-stained fingertips because she's the only old soul in this modernUgh, she's doing this on purpose, isn't she
Everything about her "Granger" persona feels so staged. Must be tiresome to put that mask on every time her camera is on... (But ofc I could be wrong.)
Started watching her latest video. The way she's going on about this family tree website makes me wonder if she's being sponsored by them. If she is, she definitely isn't saying anything about it.
I use fountain pens every day and even if I spill refilling the converter, it doesn’t get under my fingernails like that. She’s just an unhygienic slob.
SAME.
It's bloody hard to get a library assistant job in a uni library (I very much doubt she would lower herself to work in a public library with ordinary people coming in to borrow thrillers and use the PCs)...the last time we advertised a library assistant job we got over 100 applications.
Plus the interview questions are largely about customer service, problem solving, team work etc. Nothing about marginalia or Victorian children or carrots or commonplace books.

It seemed like she was saying goodbye to Oxford for a while, though. I would be surprised if she ends up at a uni library. In the US it is very competitive and you have to have a degree in Library Science, which she does not. You have to be able to work well with students coming in asking for all kinds of material and resources, and she isn't very intelligent or creative in coming up with original ideas to help someone research something. She isn't resourceful, by any means. I can see her retreating back to her old local school as an assistant, working only part time until she pursues a doctorate, having family members driver her back and forth, continuing to live with mummy and daddy, with plenty of time to twirl and read children's books. She would also be surrounded by younger people and books for kids and preteens instead of being challenged by her far more superior peers. I am sure she would covet a job at an Oxford library, but she isn't even remotely qualified for it, so that would really be a poor choice on their part to hire her. Then, again, they have fallen in my esteem for giving her a supposed distinction, so who knows.
I don't know why but I'm starting to think that she only got a distinction for her dissertation and not for the course overall as it's strange that she hasn't announced what marks she got on her other modules because when it says "I don't think I've ever been more nervous for opening a mark" I think she was only referring to her dissertation mark also I don't know how it works at Oxford but maybe she only needed to get a distinction in her dissertation so that she could do a PhD at Oxford.

I've just watched the dissertation all nighter video again and found it really quite upsetting. Just so sad that she couldn't go for a lovely walk, get back and submit and then forget about it. Just ugh. Awful. Her mental health is nowhere near robust enough for a PhD. It will end her.
"I love reading the dialogue; all the letters are dialogical and they represent dialogue between two people, so I love reading the letters." -- me back in my uni days trying to meet the word count in an essay.
She somehow managed to say the exact same thing four different ways in a single sentance without actually saying anything at all. That's a talent. A useless talent, but a talent nonetheless. It's the verbal equivilant of a palindrome. Letters=dialogue, dialogue=letters -- Ruby Granger, 2024.

God, recommending a book by Neil Gaiman right now is a choice. He is a fantastic writer and I don't think his work needs to be avoided for eternity, but at least let the fire die down before you start recommending we throw money at his feet. Though judging by the way she repeatedly misgenders the main character, I doubt she's ever actually read the book in question.

I’m not saying liking or recommending a literary work is wrong if there are common moral objections to the author or the subject, but if you’re going to discuss it in today’s social media, it might be smart to consider these things. Especially if you’re trying to project an image of yourself as a certain type of person (veeeegan, koind, exxxetera).

She also recommends a book featuring fox-hunting (so varry veeegan) and wrote a whole ass dissertation about Lewis Carroll without once addressing the problematic bits

Finished the video, and yeah I was surprised how she recommended Gaiman. Maybe she's choosing to put her head in the sand, like many others.
She really has nothing to do omg. Even though there are lots of things she should be doing, like ironing her clothes maybe?

That's why I somehow despise her and her accomplishments. And people holding her as the supreme role model.
This girl never has to face real life, she always had someone to do it for her, to hold her hand ad guide her. She doesn't know what is it to be stressed because you don't know if you'll even have a roof for the beginning of your uni year because it's crowded. She never had to accept a room in a shady guy's house, it has a bad reputation but it's that or a hotel you can't afford. She never has to face parents not supporting you. She never has to not eat because she didn't has enough money, never has to either walk for hours or fraud to take public transportations at night after a small job after uni.
I'm tired to see that much people buying her poor stressed student persona while she never makes anything overly good, she's no better than half of the country. And the worst is that if you dare to say it, you'll have some coming from you and tell you you should be happy for the others. Yeah, I'm so glad she received free clothing after using chat GPT to make a dissertation comfortably sat in her fully paid accomodation while I'm trying to earn money to not end in the streets, I was wondering if she'll survive without her free kombucha, this was the fear of my week.
A bit late from the all nighter/results video, but I called it she was going to do a PhD. There's no way she'd stop with uni now. Maybe she will take a year off to tit around again, but hopefully she will go straight to PhD in September, and we can have three more years of fascinating library content.
Just watching het Bookish Summer video... I'm cringing at the idea of Marfa or her mother videoing her about researching family trees, doing arty shots via her iron bed bars and through the grasses on their walk.
What a puzzling person she is. I can’t imagine, at my big age and with a MA (distinction might I add), having nothing better to do than making a list of various time wasting activities I would have enjoyed as a reclusive know it all teenager.
Aimlessly visiting archives and browsing through strangers’ family trees? What planet is she on?
I’m too busy with multiple freelance jobs, relationships with partner/friends/family, exercising and cooking healthy food, cleaning, volunteer work, hobbies and interests. Etc. Just standard life. I don’t need to be filling gaps with meaningless tasks that tangentially relate to my interest in reading. Which by the way is because I enjoy both literature and ideas… I don’t simply have a fetish for library aesthetics like Ruby does.

I've just realised when she says 'list' in this video it sounds like she is saying 'LEST'. Also, when she says Vita Sackville-West is sounds like she says 'WAST'.
Also HOW MANY TIMES does she say 'Evelyn WORN' instead of 'WAR' for 'Waugh'?! Where is the 'n' coming from, Roobs?! She does it every time.

I don't know about humanities PhDs in the UK, but my boyfriend is getting a PhD in Maths in Italy, and for him it hasn't been the cushy, slow-paced experience Ruby is probably expecting.
First off, he and his peers travel a lot. He has been to a lot of conferences and seminars in other countries. And you can't take your mummy with you because the uni won't cover her expenses.
Secondly, he has had to juggle work on a lot of different fronts - teaching undergrad courses, assessing papers, proctoring exams, tutoring students with learning difficulties, collaborating on papers with different professors, etc.
