About

I'm David: a gay, glaswegian, gluten free writer and performer living in London. I've been writing my newsletter through TinyLetter for over 2 years now, and I wanted to create the option to listen as well. So now, in a mini, baby-pod type situation, you can listen to the letters from the archive, read by me. //The newsletters (and therefore episodes) come sporadically, and I write about whatever is on my mind, from bad tinder dates, volatile mental health and therapy, to politics, culture and struggling with life in the big city. // I'm a hopeless romantic who's libra af, which is another way of saying I'm a sensitive soul who's got a lot of feelings and likes to write them down and share them with you. Maybe if we can all talk more about what's going on inside our busy minds, we can feel a bit less alone together. // Icon designed by the wonderful angel artist & illustrator extraordinaire @by.eilidh
