Welcome to the Gothenaissance
From red carpet glam to Oscar nods for Frankenstein, the Gothic has taken over 2026.
My latest (and first!!) for 🖤 @glamouruk.bsky.social 🖤
The Gothenaissance is more than a micro-trend – it’s a cultural movement.
Like Stephen King said: “We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.” And in 2026, we’re doing a lot of coping.

Beware the dream job
When what we do is who we are, everything business is personal
Happy Everyone’s Back At Work Day, I guess! 📝✨
We know now that assigning our identity to a job isn’t the best idea.

Dating apps don’t work as well as you think they do
Does it feel like pretty much everybody you know met their partner online? Well, those feelings aren’t facts, and the numbers tell a different story.
My latest (and first!) for Mashable—
Does it feel like pretty much everybody you know met their partner on an app? Well, the numbers tell a different story.
And misplaced high expectations (appspectations?) are making the dating scene feel even more hellish.

“As an American living in the UK, Trump’s win has made me feel like I have a moral injury”
One writer shares why her feelings about Trump’s win are more than fear and upset.
My latest for Stylist Magazine:
Trump’s win caused me more than fear and upset – my hope for the future, sense of identity and faith in humanity went into total freefall.
It feels like a moral injury. So I chatted to mental health experts to find out more.

Benjamin Netanyahu should be arrested immediately if he steps on British soil.
As a former human rights lawyer, the Prime Minister should be well-versed in international law and the legal implications surrounding war crimes and accountability.
