Have decided that instead of letting my identity be erased by the government I’m going to double down and become twice as transgender

They see drag shows as inherently sexual because they can’t see women as anything other than sexual objects
My daughter is in her room listening to the Black Parade right now. If she gives me any grief about chores this weekend I’m calling Frank and giving him an earful
I am sorry but there is just no biological evidence proving the existence of your god. We counted and your god has zero chromosomes. We must accept your religion for what it is, a massive money laundering scheme and a front for a paedophilia ring
Mind blowing how in 2021 Rick Astley is infinitely cooler than Morrissey. Never would have predicted this 20 years ago. The wheel keeps on turning

10 years ago today I came out as transgender in magazine. The highest of highs and the lowest of lows, I wouldn’t trade the last 10 years for anything. Eternal gratitude to everyone who has shown kindness, love, and support along the way 🙏
At this point I’m just scared. When I came out in 2012 the world seemed maybe safe for Trans people to openly exist. I now see how naive that was. Transphobia is so deeply ingrained in society. The cruelty is the point. We’re subhuman to them. They’re happy to watch us die.
My daughter is in the other room FaceTiming and playing Animal Crossing and I just overheard her explain what ACAB stands for to her friend.
If I wear Dr Martens in the snow then yes, Dr Martens are snow boots
Pretty soon we’ll have had more waves of Covid than we’ve had of ska
The sad thing about this is before the musicians play a single note the audience already leaves

Musicians rehearse at the Gran Teatre del Liceu that reopens its doors, in which the 2,292 seats of the auditorium will be occupied on this occasion by plants, in Barcelona, Spain, Monday, June 22, 2020.
I forgot about this until I saw a friend post about on their own social media account but by law on trans day of visibility if you have a crush on a trans person you have to tell them
2 years dry today. Celebrating my my sobriety date alone and in the tub. Rub-a-dub-dub.
CDC says it’s okay to shotgun a joint with someone if you’re Covid positive as long as it’s sativa
I came out as Trans publicly in exactly 5 years ago today. 5 years of authentic living. Even the lows were worth it.
Last night I thought to myself that it could be nice to date someone again someday and then I remembered I had $50 worth of sushi delivery coming, the weed man after that and the new Star Wars video game for PS4 and I realized I’m good
I liked it better when I didn’t hear about Elon Musk so much and was more like “oh, is that the electric car guy?”
This album came out 6 years ago today and my life has never been the same since...
If you let cis people know your dead name they will lord it over you the rest of your life. Lock it up and bury it if you can
26 years ago today I was 14 & got beat up by 10 cops. Threw me face first into the ground, stepped on my head, knee in back, hogtied, told me they were gonna kill me. Instead of fireworks I spent the night in jail. I think about this & how far I’ve come from then every July 4th.
As a person who is transgender and also a parent I say that if sports can’t figure out a way to let everyone be included and play and have a good time then no one gets to play, give me the ball and everyone go home
3 years dry. 3 years without a drink. An important anniversary to commemorate and in celebration of to forgive myself for all frivolous gear and music related purchases made the last 3 years and remember it could have just been money wasted down a bottle instead. 🙏🎸🔥
Violence is wrong but just one time I want to see somebody slap a comedian that hard after they tell a joke about transgender people, just one time please
This is what a prisoner of a money cage looks like. All the wealth in the world and still unhappy. With infinite funds unable to buy a cure for their unhappiness they direct their self hate outwards and towards others in effort to build a larger cage for themselves.

Imagine how good of an album ‘Never Mind The Bollocks’ would be if all of the Sex Pistols had died in the 70’s and you didn’t have to know anything about their personalities
Blessed to have a loud voice but damn I feel stupid in this f’n thing. Is this what suffering for your art means?
Just played my daughter a demo and she told me it sounded “like a grocery store”. Who wants a free kid?
8 years old today. Happy birthday Transgender Dysphoria Blues…
Transgender adults are all bright shining examples of how a persons innate gender identity is resilient to childhood indoctrination
I feel so bad. This guy at the grocery store called me “sir” so I bit him... just straight up took a chomp right out of him... and then I couldn’t stop, I just kept chewing, until I swallowed him whole, no more guy, gone, just shoes and socks and a lonely half full cart. Fuck
Stop! Take some time to eat, figure out what’s nutritious for you... Stop! Take some time to eat, figure out what’s nutritious for you... Stop! Take some time to eat, figure out what’s nutritious for you... You gotta make delicious decisions
Not to sound desperate but will someone please either fuck me or kill me?
Hey Michigan! I’ll be playing a couple songs before Bernie speaks today in Ann Arbor!! Spread the word then come and sing along!!!

I was beat up by a group of cops when I was 14 years old. They stepped on my head and put a knee in my back then hogtied me. Carried me around like a suitcase. I know the only reason I’m alive is because of my white privilege.
14 years ago today is this is what I was doing, this was me… Life is wild y’all
Was reminded that this album came out 5 years ago today. It’s been a ride. Thankful.
Though it betrays my punk rock facade I actually really like Christmas, especially as a parent. Not only is Santa real. Santa is trans.
Cried while listening to the Killers today. So, obviously I’m doing great and the isolation isn’t taking any kind of mental toll
😂😂😂 corporations and casinos are all gonna get free money now and you and I are going to get NOTHING and then in 6 months everyone will be back to talking about how socialism is bad and we can’t afford free healthcare 😂😂😂

Joining dad @POTUS for a furry, furry impawrtant meeting to convince everyone we must send even more weapons to the brave hoomans of #Ukraine. Because, let’s woof it, the only security guarantee Ukraine needs is more weapons. 
I went to a baseball game last night and a beer vendor called me “Miss” and now I love sports and I’m a Cardinals fan and isn’t it just terrible?
I would like to announce that my next album is called “Folkpunklore”
Anyone else finding it really hard to focus and get work done while all this is happening?
Two days ago I moved neighborhoods in Chicago. My new place has built in book shelves and from the living room windows you can see a new public library building a block away. Feeling blessed by the book gods.
I have had a raging crush on the manager of my local Target for years now and there’s nothing I can do about it besides pine and continue to do all of my grocery shopping at Target
Just walked into the living room carrying an acoustic guitar and my daughter loudly groaned
Sometimes I forget how strong a look wearing a bullet belt is
My daughter tried playing me a Post Malone song and I had to explain to her that on principle I don’t listen to artists that wear crocs.
Ha!

Instead of punishing my daughter with a time-out lately I’ve just been singing Kid Rock songs at her. Truly effective. Instant results.
After the ska revival let’s do a folk punk revival (selfish I know)
Just chased a truck that hit our bus trailer 6 blocks on foot while wearing a leather jacket. Never felt more like the Terminator in my life...
Got pulled over by the cops today coming into Philly… cop says “You’re tag is expired” I said… “No it’s not” to which he said “Let me check… okay you’re right” and then let me go
Working late in the studio and accidentally just recorded a folk punk song
Me: Can I have a quad shot of espresso please?
Barista: Can I get a name for that order?
Me: L.J.
Barista: Can you spell that for me?
Me: L... J....
I know that you shouldn’t read the comments but sometimes I do and seriously, when I read one like this it makes me feel so certain and assured in who I am and so so so thankful that I think nothing like it’s author
How many times in life do you get to say that you helped write a Weezer song? Today’s my fuckin daaaaayyyyyy!
All the bands cancelling shows because of coronavirus are doing so because their insurance companies updated their policies to not cover cancellations due to the virus. I know because ours did the same.
There really was a part of me that was hoping that me dropping a surprise solo album would be the most shocking thing to happen this October
How was this 5 years ago already? t.co/6bTwKwWzgn

Stress eating a bag of Doritos while sitting in my car in a Walgreens parking lot. Going to punch the steering wheel and scream “fuck” a couple times after I finish the chips and then carry on my way
How in the hell was this 4 years ago already? t.co/ZvOTRGRgYh

Whenever my kid picks up a guitar she plays ‘Come As You Are’. She can also count to 50 in both mandarin and Spanish. Fuck yeah I’m a proud parent.
This album turns 10 years old today. Feels like 50. Forever thankful for the learning experience that was writing, recording, and touring this album.
If you want to ruin your Twitter feed make a post in support of trans athletes

Record is mastered. Decided on a sequence and cover art. You know what? Even got a record label too! What’s fucked up is that for now I’m not telling you anything more about it.
I agree with a four day work week. I hope that happens. I would also like artists to receive a penny per stream.
I think the current ska revival is a sign of just how emotionally vulnerable we all are after the past year
Not trying to buy into or promote the conspiracy theory but all night long I hear fireworks and every morning I run my neighborhood block by block and there’s no fireworks debris. I don’t get it?
Going through old storage boxes at my brothers and found my arm gauntlets. Relieved to say the least
Seeing people immediately comment some “all lives matter” bullshit in response to a simple #BlackLivesMattters post on my Instagram demonstrates to me how important, at the BARE MINIMUM, it is to say it... Black. Lives. Matter. Fuck off with that all lives matter shit.
No one warned me that there would be a Mime in the audience today. Someone’s gotta give me a heads up about that shit, seriously. Kept forgetting lyrics cause I was trying to think up Mime related puns the whole time
Just to be clear, when I practice playing songs at home I still do the hand clap parts even though I’m all alone
My daughter and I both writing quietly in our journals this morning when abruptly she breaks the silence asking “Does Cher have a last name or is it just Cher?”
My daughter just gave me some really great advice that I thought I would share with everyone to start this day off right... When life hurts you’ve got to stand up, kick life in the face and yell ‘HEY LIFE, NOW YOUR FACE HURTS!’
Everywhere is too crowded, everything costs too much and everyone is rude as hell to each other
I swear to f’n GOD punk patches looked cooler than this when I was a teenager
After 6 months without access I have regained control of the Against Me! Facebook account, a stupid stupid victory I celebrate alone
Inexcusable hate
