Olivia Nied (she/they)

Fun show coming up soon!

The unofficial slogan for propranolol should be something like: "Propranolol: You’re gonna be really cold, and sometimes randomly dizzy, however you won’t be anxious. Calm down, you anxious bean with poor circulation."

Reserved seat tickets are sold out! General tickets still available! Get yours here: ironhorse.org

Nothing gets me turnt quite like a clear and orderly plan of what is going to happen 🔥😩🥵

There is no better foreplay then a well thought out agenda 👏

"Hey girl, you make me want to lay out expectations so that there’s no surprises, and incorporate transition time between activities."
💦🔥🥵

Tonight!

Western MA peeps! Catch me LIVE this Friday!

The sheer level of cognitive dissonance I’ve been feeling lately at the fact that Trump believes that autistic people, people with ADHD, chronically ill people, people taking SSRIs, etc are a "burden" and a "threat" to our society, yet Elon Musk having all our data somehow is not, is so fucked

Hire me for your next big (or small) studio or live performance project!

Save the date!

It’s a weird, scary time to be a trans performer, and simultaneously it’s how I even begin to try and make sense of things, so I’m going to do it even when it’s scary. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Boston peeps, gig tomorrow! I’ll be opening at 4pm 😍 I might wear this outfit if I’m really feeling it, who knows?

In the spirit of late night music takes: seek out and support your queer local artists! In the Boston area I've been really digging @happylittleclouds.bsky.social and @oliviaisartsy27.bsky.social (who has a show this weekend!)

Fav HLC: Somebody Help Me Forget

Fav Olivia: Moonrise Kingdom

The Avett Brother’s "Emotionalism" is definitely on the list of some of my favorite albums of all time. It’s perfectly imperfect in the best of ways.

For the record, I actually enjoyed "A Complete Unknown" immensely, but real talk though, how the hell did this man wander around NYC, get in a basement and be like, "ehhh, mumble, mumble I’m Bob Dylan" and people were like "I don’t care about his backstory, give him a shot Johnny!" lol.

For those in/around the Somerville, MA area!!

Yes, us trans people are going to have to fight for things to be safe for us probably for awhile now, but also please for the love of god don’t make us do it alone. If you’re cis and you care about a trans person, please, please help us ❤️

"Oh Elon’s just autistic, he was just stimming… it’s not what you think it was. 🥺"

So am I.

I’ve never stimmed through doing a Seig Heil. Furthermore, autism isn’t an excuse for doing a gesture of hatred period.

I love a good squeeze

I could use a tight, deep pressure hug today, I’m pretty darn anxious right now 😞❤️

Please check on your trans friends today, and frankly just going forward in general because we are scared ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Thanks for the repost Fender! 😍🎶

I understand ❤️ feeling blocked creatively is hard. I’ve been through that

It will come back ❤️

Over these last few days, it’s felt like I can just feel the anxiety of everyone I am even in the slightest vicinity of out in the world. Existing has felt so strange for quite awhile now. Making art and writing music seems to continue to be what keeps me anchored.

David Lynch passing away is really hitting me kind of hard. As an autistic person, the majority of my favorite directors embrace the weird (David Lynch, Wes Anderson, The Coen Brothers, etc) and the surreal, and highlight the odd idiosyncrasies found within the mundane. Human interaction is odd lol.

I offer this in memory of David Lynch. I’d like to think he might have enjoyed this. Thanks for embracing the weirdness and the strange Mr. Lynch. 🥺❤️

Aww thanks for the repost!

My Spotify when shuffling a playlist of mine, just played Tangled up In Blue by Bob Dylan, followed by Pussy Is God by King Princess, and if that doesn’t describe the sheer vast array of music I listen to, I don’t know what does.

For those of you in/near Somerville, MA on February 1st or March 9th, save the date!
