This newsletter is about being human. And the beautiful, ugly mess that comes with that.

About dins

(I also go by Linsey sometimes)

One of those shape-shifting creative types. Sometimes a writer. Sometimes an artist. Sometimes a graphic designer. Sometimes many other things.

I write about the messiness of being human.
