Couldn’t run in the rain yesterday, so I went on a run in this gorgeous weather instead.
I’m walking along a paved trail with tall green bushes behind me. I’m wearing a neon-pink shirt and giving a thumbs up. Various stats that show that I ran 1.5 miles in 21 minutes.

A man is laying face-down in the middle of a concert hall, with crowds on either side of him looking concerned. Theres’s text written over him: “me when Moontower drops a surprise song in the Vault”

There was a moment at the show last weekend where I looked around and thought, “This is it.”

I’m happy, surrounded by people I love, dancing with reckless abandon, laughing wildly, in a safe space designed for us.

I felt complete. I felt whole. And I thought, “This is what life is supposed to be.”
A crowd of people at a concert. You can see me in the middle, wearing a rainbow shirt and pink heart-shaped sunglasses. I’m looking up from the crowd in the middle of a hard laugh, with a huge smile on my face.

If you need me for the next hour, I’ll be in Sunrise City with @subradioband.bsky.social. Y’all should join me. 💜🔥
My laptop is open to Spotify. Sub-Radio’s new album Sunrise City is pulled up, and it’s already partway through the first track.

The last few minutes of my birthday seem like a great time to check back in here. Had to take a bit of a break, but I have felt incredibly loved the past few days. I’m a pretty lucky guy.

Here’s to 32. 💜

You heard him. Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🩷🤍🩵

View on my run yesterday. 🌅
Two chairs are in the grass by the side of the paved running path. They are facing away, looking out over a small pond, with barren trees all around. It’s early sunset with some yellow rays still peeking through, but there are some dark clouds covering a good portion of the sky.

Had a family dinner at Abe & Louie’s a few nights ago, and had a mini feast. Bacon-wrapped squash, filet mignon, au gratin potatoes, Brussels sprouts, bread pudding and chocolate cake.

Good thing my dad had that gift card. 😅❤️

In the background, you can see pans filled with au gratin potatoes and Brussels sprouts. There’s also a wine glass to the side of the plate filled with red wine.

As a Marching Band Gay, I am required to start a show day with an iced beverage. 👍💅

Guess who ran for the first time in forever today? Definitely took it easy, but it felt good to get out again. 👍🏃‍♂️🔥

I may have joined a gay dodgeball league to make some gay friends, but getting a gold medal is pretty fun too. 🥇 It was an absolute blast playing with these gentlemen, who are great people in addition to great players. I can’t wait for our future shenanigans. ❤️

If the past 2 shows had gone according to plan, tonight would have been my 10th @subradioband.bsky.social show. That milestone will have to wait a little longer, but I’m still celebrating with some of the old Reddit streams.

Excited to return to Sunrise City once Adam’s feeling better. 💜

The @subradioband.bsky.social show in Albany was unfortunately canceled tonight because the lead singer is sick. But the big theme of the tour has been that heaven is right where you are, right in this moment.

So for tonight, Sunrise City is on my phone.

Feel better soon Adam, see you soon. 💜

So proud to share that after their first performance yesterday, the indoor drumline I teach has been promoted to Marching A Class.

I couldn’t be prouder of these kids, or more honored to be part of this staff. Really proud of what we’re building, and I can’t wait for the rest of this season. ❤️
