Thank you to everybody who made this past year so incredible. I feel really grateful for every kindness, every opportunity, every challenge, every meal, every hug, every cry, every song, and every moment of joy I was lucky enough to experience in 2022. Not all years are great. This one truly was.

I’m sitting in my living room in Garden City in my rainbow snowsuit, thinking about how beautiful change can be. This year brought big, sweeping adventure into my life — and it’s exactly what I needed. From releasing my debut album for Kill Rock Stars, to living out my fashion dreams with Alessandro Michele and Gucci, to collaborating with Yellow Trash Can, Gino Mari and others, to working with Portugal. The Man, Lucy Dacus and DotGay, to to Idaho, this year has been all smiles and hi-fives.

Happy New Year to each and every one of you! I have new music coming in 2023 and can’t wait to share it with y’all. Thanks for being here. 💙

Shout-out to Lucy for using her platform to support the community at every stop. 💪

We started partnering on advocacy stuff back in 2017 right as Woodstock was coming out, then activated dates on their 2018 summer tour, and I officially joined the team in 2019 to help build what would become PTM Foundation the following year.

This band really cares about people, and I’ve had the great pleasure of helping them raise and donate nearly $400,000 to the community since the start of the pandemic. This work, coupled with making music and trying to make the world safer for people, has been my solution to this time of prolonged grief and suffering in the world. It’s felt good to be able to do something that matters in the midst of it all.

Thank you to John, Zach, Eric, Zoe, Kyle, Jason and Rich for believing we could — and for making space for queer weirdos like me at your table. I love y’all.🖤
