I’m quite confused why she picked Emily Dickinson as her first poet. It is widely understood that Dickinson struggled with anxiety and possibly agoraphobia - that’s not an aesthetic Ruby! I can just imagine her reading dickinson’s poetry and pick out all the “quotable” lines completely taking them out of context. As for films - she’s literally listing all the films she’s ever watched!
“Can help you act out your happiest self”... once again, Ruby gives us a literature student worthy example of irony, because the whole point of true happiness is that it is NOT AN ACT. Jesus, why are her fans such sheep and not pointing out these contradictions?! She’s promoting a completely false narrative and so many young, impressionable people will fall for it.
