About my pranks and conspiracies

  1. Speculating about the drug use of famous people is a tried-and-true activist tactic. I'm sure every gay person in Aotearoa will remember speculating about which celebrities are gay...

  2. I'm bipolar. I don't know anything about Kanye, but yeah mania and losing touch with reality are a real risk that comes with a real mental illness. I'm bipolar I, which is the serious kind. Also, a lot of the criticism is about things I never said. People saw 'anon' and assumed the worst, when I was simply republishing the book faithfully. anon = anonymous. Folk songs usually aren't attributed to people.

  3. Throwing paint is also a tried-and-true activist tactic. And I definitely think the pollies dig those. I'm still planning to finish the series: I got the updated seating plan for Parliament on Wednesday, and I'm about 1/4 of the way through. 🦄

  4. The post-Election prank was driven by people stalking me. That's when I clued in that I was being surveilled, and I was really angry about that (just like my recent screaming .. I'm sick of being watched for smoking dope and being a fierce critic). And, if I read the tea leaves correctly, people have always been afraid of me and coming out as trans just allowed them to project their worst fears and fantasies onto me. So yes, I'm fine with being disliked, but it doesn't motivate me to reconcile with people who always thought I was difficult, stubborn and blunt. People seldom thought I was rude, though .. I'm as harsh on myself as I am on anyone I criticise, which meant that most musicians just figured I was a tough critic. 🎶

  5. I'm very proud of my erotica. I'm also very proud of the fact that I published it on Facebook without being censored because they're cartoons. Smutty, sometimes explicit, cartoons! 😎 I'm republishing those on this blog, so check them out.

As for when I rant about my friends: if you're reading and not writing to me, that's why it's happening. That's just the truth. If you bothered to write to me, I'd probably be less lonely, and it would also ground me in your reality. I don't want a starring role in your lives, but it's nice to hear from people.
