Emma Wright @editorialgirl.co.uk · 06/09/2026I'm looking for furniture for my office but it seems that "vintage" these days ONLY means mid century modern. No, I don't want a sleek G Plan sideboard! Where my fussy gothic Victorian cabinets at?! 100
Emma Wright @editorialgirl.co.uk · 03/09/2026Can we talk about the fact that Joe Lycett has gone from championing Birmingham - insisting his Friday night show must be made here, and offering paid apprenticeships to local people - to just... Making it in London and not mentioning Birmingham at all? What happened? 461

Emma Wright @editorialgirl.co.uk · 16/08/2026Sometimes when a post gets a very "Bluesky" response - as this one rightly has - I go to Twitter and Facebook to see what people outside of my bubble think.

Emma Wright @editorialgirl.co.uk · 15/08/2026I think I need to stop reading about other people. The stupidity is relentless. Under stories about people losing their homes in fires, there are multiple people arguing that "it was a disposable barbecue - nothing to do with so-called climate change!" 121
Emma Wright @editorialgirl.co.uk · 14/08/2026Obvs I'm biased but blimey. The gov's emergency alert team needs a copywriter. Way too much text! Break it up! You need a 1-2 word headline (Wildfires!), then an obvious call to action ("do not use..."). THEN you can go into the whole "even a small flame" thing. 253
