5 Random Things is our way of helping readers to get to know top sapphic book authors all the while having a bit of fun.
Here are five random facts about Ruby Landers.
1. I’m equally a New Zealander and an Australian, having dual citizenship and having lived almost exactly half my life in each country! (Sweet as, mate)
2. I live just above a creek bed and all I can hear out my window at night are the frogs singing.
3. I used to be an Emergency Nurse. The main question people always want to know is what’s the grossest thing I’ve ever seen? I’ll never tell you though.
4. Spotify tells me I’m amongst the top 2% of Swifties. This seems excessive.
5. I have a lifelong terror of being sung Happy Birthday to. Oh god, in a restaurant where the servers bring out a cake and everyone joins in? I just died right now even imagining it.

QUEER NEWS THAT’LL MAKE YOU SMILE
It can seem sometimes like all the news these days is bad. We won’t deny there’s a lot of troubling things going on, including a rise in hate crimes. But it’s not all terrible out there! We want to do our best to highlight good news, because while it may seem like the world is filled with hate, there are many individuals who are living their best lives with a rainbow in their heart.
This week’s good news involves a wedding.
Celebrity chef Dominique Crenn and actor Maria Bello got hitched!
The couple exchanged vows on Sunday in a “bohemian, chic” ceremony at their “home away from home” in Mexico.
The wedding was attended by over 100 family members and close friends, including celebrities such as actor Patricia Arquette, Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay, and Bush singer Gavin Rossdale. Crenn’s two 10-year-old daughters from her previous relationship with Katherine Keon also took part in the ceremony, accompanying their mother down the aisle to Prince’s song “Kiss.”
We wish the couple all the best!
Read more about it right here.
That’s all for today.
Wishing all of you a wonderful Friday!
