i know we are all fighting over which candidate is BEST but can we take a macro look at this moment. and just for a second agree:
@PeteButtigieg
โs candidacy is historic. i almost dressed exactly like this 9 year old so i see myself in him. what a moment
well said
@PeteButtigieg
โYou know, according to Forbes magazine, Iโm literally the only person on this stage who is not a millionaire or a billionaire. So this is important. This is the problem with issuing purity tests you cannot yourself pass.โ

This is a rallying cry for all queers across America. This wonโt just happen here. And while NYC and LA may turn their eyes away from this โฆ. The real fight is in the heart of these states in America. The ban is unconstitutional but more than that it is inhumane. We will fight
i just realized my song is above

pop and with massive love for this band and their fans im also, as an independent artist, totally freaking out โจ

If Iโm honest I want to quit this music thing every day because I had a career before the entire industry became about social media. I have no idea what Iโm doing most days but I really believe in the words and Melodies Iโve got in my heart. It felt inspiring just talking toโฆ
when
@billieeilish
mentions one of your songs as inspo for โbad guyโ you probably want to run outside and scream for joy but then you realize youโre quarantined and you just post about it on the internet and hope you can have some friends comment and be excited with you

This is the absurdity of a group of people calling for โsmaller governmentsโ when they use the government to stomp on people who are just trying to live. Donโt come at me about โthe childrenโ. You donโt care when they are gunned down or at a hooters bar. this is just shout hate
Those are your musicians. Me. Alex.

i just saw a screening of Little Women the movie by

. it was incredible. iโm so inspired by the directors use of device to update the source material and though i knew the story i was hit harder than i expected
support the artists you care about. because itโs a fucking grind. and we do this because we love it. to make something of it is really scary. that being said. iโve loved being on the road with
@Weathersband
and
@DREAMERSjoinus
. they remind me what actually matters - you the fans
literally people wonโt give you the time of day if you donโt have a certain number of IG followers and i feel sad that youโre missing out on the depth of humanity that exists if you live like that
i am so sick of trying to beg the industry to give me a shot. dropped by my label no management and

on tiktok has me realizing itโs all a broken matrix and itโs up to you to find your way. keep going. keep growing.
#whatdoyouwonder
there is a misconception that if by a certain age you donโt have a GF/BF, own a home, and have a baby on the way ..you are damaged or something is wrong. not to knock that - itโs beautiful if itโs your path. but there is a whole world outside of the norm and you are vital still
<rant> i find it funny so many big companies and even straight bands just released pride merch to captitalize on the month... when i, an actual queer person, have no pride line. i am a pride line. every day. all day. support me

i wanted to go back to my roots. me at a piano. with a song and my voice. it feels like home. how i recorded the song was a choir in my friendโs living room. and after everything that has happened - itโs nice to return home.

Itโs easy to think that leaving Tennessee is the answer. To not know what it will be like if you hold hands with your boyfriend in the wrong place. But leaving is easy and sometimes you just canโt afford it.
So I will stay and fight. And lift up my voice for and with others. Soโฆ

i want an acting teacher to break down the actual mastery that was/is the slight pause, smile and delivery of the words โparasiteโ ..... plz :)
well i literally had NO voice tonight. a mixture of emotions but also allergies got the best of me and so what can you do? a bittersweet end to the perfect month. i loved this tour. i will never forget each of you who i met. until next time you are
#whatisvital
to me โฅ๏ธ
in 2020 i want to see your love handles. your pimples. the cracks around the surface. i want to see the way your body moves when a camera isnโt watching. i want to see the way you look at yourself as if youโre the only thing that matters - because you are. enough of the bullshit
itโs mental health awareness month and i want to be honest that iโm not doing well today. a lot built up in my mind. but my point in sharing this is to say to you and to myself โyou are not aloneโ. so many people struggle and iโm here with you
i was on a day off in atlanta and approached this amazing street performer. he asked me if i wanted to sing with him and we impromptu did this. i want to share this with him but i donโt have his info... LETS FIND HIM โฅ๏ธ
#ANewWay
i really want a world where no one feels like they ever have to โcome outโ. they are able to exist proudly as they are. quiet but loud in their own personal expression. and society allows them to express themselves in any way they see fit (as long as they are causing no harm)
there is no safer space than when iโm with you. there is no home that can compare to what i feel every night on tour. there will be people that donโt understand but i donโt speak for them. i stand with you. you are home to me
all is NOT ok in my life. but also i realize that all is NOT ok in many peoples lives and yet we keep going. and so iโm reminded to keep going. because that is life : to keep going even when itโs not all right. that will be the mend.
My music is so good but the industry doesnโt care. So Iโm bypassing it in every way. And it feels so good to reach you directly. Over 100 million streams completely independent
last night, in too many ways, was the best night of my life. you didnโt see this one on TV but iโm endlessly proud of a song that is nothing but my heart and you.
