last night was only my third time performing in public as myself (weird, right?)

but something clicked and fell into place, because the times before this I was completely in my head and thought I sounded and performed terribly

I honestly had doubts about whether I should be doing this at all

but last night was beautiful and freeing

last night I knew I was on the right path

this won’t be the last you hear of me

#that last line sounds kinda like a threat but in a way it kinda is so I don’t know what else to say #quinn hills #quinnhills #quinn #artists on tumblr #transgender #queer #lesbian

if you too would like to include Quinn Hills in your future total solar eclipse plans, please contact your local travel agent and/or your god

In all seriousness, it was wonderful meeting Alex & Kara! They gave me three electron trees, which are super cool (the big one pictured above).

And I probably would tell an artist I like the same thing about their music getting me through hard times, so I don’t find it cliche at all :)

Y’all come back now, ya hear?

Trip report!!

For those that have been waiting, sorry! I got home and immediately had to go help with a family thing. But here it is!

First, was the obvious. We had to drop off the baby boy with my parents. He had a great time with the family and was very dirty, stinky, and sleepy when we got back.

So where were we? We went to see the eclipse! As many of you know, My wife proposed to me under totality in the 2017 solar eclipse. So she surprised me with time off to travel to this last one on 4/8!

We flew to Nashville, TN and rented a car so I could scratch my road trip itch. We visited her family in KY, then went up to Cairo, IL for the event.

THIS is the public library in Cairo. It's an absolutely darling building, built originally to be a library and still proudly serving that purpose. The gals who were manning the counter were sweet, knowledgeable, and so welcoming. They had goodie bags with moon pies and starbursts and collected the eclipse glasses when we were done with them so they could be sterilized and sent down to Mexico for the next eclipse. So lovely to talk with and they welcomed us to spend the eclipse on their lawn with some local families. So we did!

We had a little picnic, chatted with some of the families, and got to watch totality in a tiny little town with so much character I still smile just thinking about it.

Hopefully you don't expect us to have top tier eclipse photography lol, but these are great for us! I got to kiss my wife under totality and it was hella romantic.

Then I got to drive more....then Kara got to drive because there were a ton of accidents and the three hour drive back to Nashville took more than six hours. So uh, my motion-sick self was struggling with the stop and go traffic.

But when we got there, we had a great night and then day walking around Eastside Nashville and pointing out the arcades I was going to take Kara to that evening.

That didn't quite happen.

Because the first stop we made in the arcade crawl is where we stayed all night.

No Quarter, the pinball arcade I now have a hat for because it's so friggin cool. We got to do many cool things there. 1)They had excellent drinks and in true Oregonian fashion I got to try the local cider and judge it. (it was good!) 2) I kicked Kara's ass at pinball. Very important. 3) I got MY ass kicked at pinball by literally every other person in the building. Also very important. Because 4) I got to play in a pinball tournament hosted by Belles and Chimes, specifically for women and non binary folks!

How did I, notorious nerves-haver and not a multiplayer pinball player join this?

5) I got to meet Quinn Hills. You know, @quinnhills ? Yeah. I'm still so giggly about it.

Hi. This pic is me, many drinks in, just absolutely giddy getting to meet (and hug!!) one of my favorite artists.

She's so sweet, so kind, and asked if I wanted to join the tournament.

Remember: do what beautiful women ask of you.

I am still kicking myself because I dropped the cliche, "your music has helped me through some really hard stuff." I mean, its absolutely true!! But I had told myself I was gonna be more eloquent than that. Oh well. I would blame the cider, but I was super excited and nervous before that, so I think I'm just a little goofy.

Kara also was happy to meet the woman who's music I had been blaring for that whole six plus hour car ride back to Nashville, and she's agreed to play pinball with me at our home bar! Major win!

We stayed until one in the morning, Kara ordered pizza to the hotel, and we had safe flights back home the rest of the day.

It was such a fun trip and I'm still losing my mind at all the little bits of it.

When I stream next (soon) I'm sure you'll hear about all this again. Along with my breakdown of eclipse conspiracies I've spent far too much time analyzing. <3

shout out to @spaceacealex who requested a meet-and-greet with me while they were traveling through Tennessee

I said yes

They wanted to trade me something from their Pokémon Go

I was like “of course, what is it?”

They showed me this

I screamed, “WE DON’T NEED PORYGON FROM OUT IN OREGON”

Then I ran away

Alt Text: Screenshot of a quote tweet from Quinn Hills saying “me in 1998 after the kid across the street trades me a Graveler” quoting “Golem!” from a tweet by Docm77

Quinn Hills is truly the person ever.

it’s almost always the lesbianism

quinn hills the woman that you are.

she gives me gender envy and i'm not even particularly fem-presenting. i'm agender. whateverrr

(actually now that i think about it it might just be the lesbianism-)

you have any words of encouragement for trans youths(and i say youths like be being 25 wouldn't auto qualify me as one to some folk)

Being trans can be very lonely and difficult. Find folks who understand you and truly love you. Whether they’re online or offline, chosen family is everything. Cling to them.

Be authentically yourself if you can. Don’t hide who you are simply for someone else’s sake. You’re incredible and amazing. Don’t push all that down if you can safely be yourself.

If you live with unsafe people, find a way to leave them. They might say they love you, but it’s not really love if they’ll only love you if you stay in the closet or keep your deadname or present the way they want you to. There are resources to get you to a safe place. You are not alone.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help with your mental health. Therapy is one of the best things I’ve ever done. I’ve learned to manage my depression and anxiety. I’ve learned to manage my dysphoria where it doesn’t have to ruin my day or someone else’s. Those parts of my brain will always be there, but now I have some power to control how they affect me. I am doing things I never dreamed of before therapy. Find a trans or queer therapist if you can.

Do what you love: Play, create, build, climb. Find things that bring you joy and do them whenever you can.

Your existence is resistance. Waking up every day and choosing to be yourself in the world is a radical act. You are enough. You’re doing enough.

If you do have the energy and feel safe to get involved, please try. We’re all in this together. The liberation of trans people is directly tied to the liberation of all peoples around the world.

We all deserve to live without worries about who we are and how everyone else views us. I believe that day will come.

Every breath we breathe takes courage. Life will be scary. It will be hard. But it will also be beautiful and warm and exhilarating and worthwhile.

I see you. I love you. I’m here if you need me.

Keep going ❤️

all it takes is one person.

I would stream way more often if it weren’t for all the times 1 person shows up to be blatantly transphobic or ask some ignorant question like “are you Joe Hills’s brother”

do a google, you fucks

I’m a woman

I know this community has overwhelmingly embraced me, and I really appreciate that. It means the world to me ❤️

but right now, it’s not even worth it because of those terrible few

Im laughing so hard. Literally 1 person in Pearl’s chat tried to insult her yesterday and she was like “now I remember why I don’t stream with face cam” meanwhile literally EVERYWHERE ELSE I’ve seen people just saying saying how pretty she is . (It’s true she’s gorgeous, so pretty) I swear I’ve seen at least 5 people questioning their sexualities because of her beauty. She needs to understand, while haters can be loud, 90% of us are simping and just trying not to fall hopelessly in love with her
