Recently, I saw Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at The Forum. Tom Morello was there just shredding on the guitar and Clarence Clemons’ nephew is now their saxophone player and Little Stevie is still rocking the head scarves. It was an amazing concert.
It was also a political rally. One where The Boss had no problem calling out Donald Trump for his racist, anti-Semitic, bigoted, fascist words and actions. Bruce had invited the National Day Laborer Organizing Network to the show and they had set up booths, had volunteers all around, talking about the organization.
It was pretty inspiring.
I’m proud to say that our family is active and donates when we can but that just doesn’t feel like enough these days.
So, welcome to Happy Friday merch. Where every single proceed goes to a specific organization. Because, let’s be honest: we fucking love merch. And if we can help people and wear it at the same time? Let’s ride.
For the month of May, all proceeds will be donated to @immigrantjustice . It’s a wonderful organization that I encourage you to learn more about.
Special collabs will be coming in the future and new designs by request. This is the long game and we want to keep things fresh so we can keep the money going where it needs to go.

Happy birthday to my sweet, kind, hilarious, handsome husband. I can’t believe you exist in real life. You are quite literally the man of my dreams. You are down for any adventure - big or small - you love a bit, a coordinated costume, themed cocktails, Disney days, pool days, couch days and everything in between. I want to always do everything with you so it’s good we like our kid and he can come along too. You are the biggest cheerleader, best dad and husband, and hardest worker. I hope today you feel all of the love and care you shine on everyone in your orbit. You are the best of us. We love you!
This remarkable, magical, beautiful human is 4 today. You are our favorite person to go on adventures with, to play with, to snuggle with, to watch a million Batwheels episodes with and listen to scores of your favorite movies with. You are kind, thoughtful, opinionated, silly and still, thankfully, squeaky. I wish time would slow down but I’m also so thankful for every new moment with you. We love you so much it hurts. Happy birthday, bud. You’re the best.
Rang in the new year in the best way with the best of people. We were in suits, we were under the table, we did airplanes, we played games, we ate all of the food. “Sounds like someone just needed a lil’ bestie hangin’.”
The Birdcage did something radical: it made a gay family feel fully human, joyful, and completely accessible.
No tragedy. No fear. Just love, humor, and complexity.
And in 2025… we still don’t have a version of that for a trans couple.
Why are the only “allowed” stories still trauma stories?
We deserve joy too. 🌈✨

Eight years married to this absolute dreamboat. Lucky is so deeply an understatement it’s crazy. A great anniversary gift would be for everyone to take charge and VOTE! 📷 @martinngo_photo
Today, we relaunch the Committee for the First Amendment. In the McCarthy Era, artists were blacklisted, silenced, even imprisoned. Those forces have returned—and we refuse to stand by. Free speech is not a partisan issue. It is the cornerstone of democracy. The entertainment industry will stand together—fiercely united—to defend it from assault. #committeeforthefirstamendment
