Twirling around the garden again... I live on a rough council estate in Manchester and if someone witnessed me twirling around the street I’d get stabbed. Never mind if I got about wearing a boater hat.

She has it listed under "publications" on her LinkedIn

I thought it was interesting that she was wearing 'normal' clothes when she filmed her outro - on a day that she wasn't expecting to film. This makes me suspect more & more that all her vintage/random collars/etc stuff is just for her Ruby Granger character.

Still can't comprehend how this girl can talk about reading books for her Holocaust module yet still no peep about the money she took from the Holocaust foundation. I'm never going to let this go, the more I think about it, the more angry it makes me.
In the latest video, she still comes across incredibly smug and pretentious. The worst thing is... I don't think she even means to do it.

Long time lurker here, but this was just comical!
anyone see this?
I actually responded to the story because she’s highlighted a part that says “I don’t read literature unless the author is dead 30 years”
Imagine admitting you live in the past which she’s done by highlighting that section

Exactly. ‘Be kind’ doesn’t just mean ‘be kind to me’. If you have a platform, you also have a responsibility to encourage decent behaviour on there too. Especially if you advertise your platform as being anti-bullying.

100%. I grew up in a council home with a single mother who worked 2 jobs. She was forever working her backside off to make us “presentable” and not adhere to any stereotypes. Our home was always spotless, school uniform beautifully ironed, and she was always making sure I spoke “proper English” (which I now recognise as problematic)
She was always super conscious of us looking undeserving, trashy or basically being stereotyped in any way.
Middle class people get away with SO much, it really pisses me off
Edit: I also remembered it was about how we dressed too! She used to always make sure I was dressed smartly when I went out, if I had PE at school she didn’t like me coming home in my tracksuit, and lord help me if my school tie wasn’t done properly

What a ridiculous thing to agree with. And ironic given that she's currently reading Haruki Murakami? Also doesn't she realise that writers have to make a living? We won't have many more great writers if no one buys/reads their books until they're long dead

The sloppiness of how Ruby dresses is to me such a sign of her privilege. She can dress like that and get away with coming across as cutesy and aesthetic. If a Black working class 20 year old woman dressed like that she’d be criticised for not making and effort or caring about her appearance. Don’t get me wrong there’s always a time to be a bit sloppy - I have spent much of lockdown in the same joggers and hoodie! But if I’m in online class, or if I were putting videos of myself on the internet, you can bet I’m dressed reasonably nicely (obvs not formal, but I wouldn’t have holes in my tights!), clean hands and taken care of nails etc. She can only get away with looking grubby because she’s a young white woman with a posh accent.

Late to the party: I'm currently marking first year's first assignments. The majority of the marks I'm giving out are 2:2s. Why? Because they're still writing at A-Level standard- so they write well, but it takes a bit of practice to get your head around writing at University standard. This reaction is exactly what I don't want my students to be feeling, that's why my feedback is quite detailed and points out where they can make changes to get higher marks.
What the actual fuck?Bet this has given her an ego boost
I hope it's a thesis on the damage of productivity culture on young people.

What does she mean by "(including classics)"? Are they not books? Why specifically state that?
I'm also absolutely annoyed by how people comments section are comparing how much they've read to how much she read in a month. It's not a competition, it's not about quantity, it's not a tell-all about how productive you are. You wouldn't be comparing how many movies, tv shows or games you've played, have you? I really think this is such a toxic attitude... Not blaming Ruby for it here, it clearly is something that comes from people who are more prone to, as I've said, compare themselves to Ruby, but still.
Another nitpick of mine: why so many children's books? Not that there's anything wrong with them per se, but damn, you wanted to get more involved with the Holocaust topic, maybe you could've gone a bit further and do some WW2 reading as well?
Nevertheless, it'd be a good idea if she kept doing these videos on a monthly basis. I think they work better than a single video at the end of the year.

It’s just very very different to the majority of uni students these days. You are very lucky your parents have the capital to do that. The issue is, there seems to be no acknowledgement of this financial privilege from Ruby, so her fans saying she isn’t rich is just plain stupid
