I don’t feel like I pay for your writing, I pay for you, and people like you, to still exist in the world. You’ve been pushed far to the side and we won’t realise how much we needed you until you’re all gone. So I’m happy to support a tiny corner of that ❤️
Thank you for your writing Emily, it is so thoughtful and funny.
I'm so impressed by people that stick with journalism (except the goobers), it's such a hard job. I think only 3-4 of our class of 20 from 2008 are still doing it. It's not hard to see why; I moved to comms cos it's usually 9-5, comes with has far less abuse, and pays four times what my first journalism gig did. And it's easier.
PS You are a saint for replying to non-subscribers. I'd be sending them links to Sonic the Hedgehog fan art pages, or photos of botched eyeball surgeries
Thank you, I just realised I wasn’t a paid subscriber so I just fixed that. My husband and I are raising our kids with no family here, and your writing has made me feel so much less alone. Thank you so much for what you do.
Timely reminder that my credit card has just expired and I now have to find out how to update details so you keep getting my sub! Eek! I’m going to go puzzle it out now agh
How the fuck did this end up in my Spam folder instead of my inbox? Shit mail server, your algorithm must be shit because it's one of the few emails I ALWAYS open even if I don't physically read it!
Any who. My 2c, perhaps you need to not reply to emails? If you want more people to pay, isn't the ability to comment and converse with you the point of the subscription? Emailing you, and you responding, circumvents that need to subscribe.
Ooh I love this piece. It’s such an honour to help you out even just a little, as I’ve seen how much you’ve just given and given endlessly over the years 💛
This is a powerful piece. Yours is the ONLY blog I take the time to read, every single one. You're so funny and real and engaging. I laugh and cry with you, I genuinely spend parts of my day thinking how we can fund your son to get his continuous monitor, but realise it's not just your son but so many people's kids. I have donated to nearly all the charities you have promoted too. So why the F*** have I only been paying you $7 per month when I pay much more for the Guardian that I flick through a few times???? Have fixed that now. You deserve much more.

Is that all we're paying you? Shit I'm going to up my subs
hahah I was looking at that Womans Day photo thinking "if you squint just right that lady kinda looks like Emily Writes " then read the description!
I love when I get a new piece in my emails thank you

Please do keep writing (one of your subscribing and very infrequent commenters who adores what you do).
"But I do wonder if writing by women always needs to have a home outside of social media in order to survive."
Oof. This sentence stuck out to me. Thank you for continuing to share your thoughts and wisdom. It helps more than you could know.
Love being a subscriber!
So happy to read your work and to be a subscriber
Excellent as usual! Thank you for your time and effort 😊
I always look forward to seeing your posts pop up in my emails!
