Believe me, most of the language I speak is jargon, whether it's political, musical or (yes) sexual. If you're picking up the references, then you're a chaser. I'm just another person conducting business on my phone, except you might hear references to celebrities. That's the world I live in. Jacinda really is a friend of mine. I realise that some prudes learn all the alternative jargon, but that's precisely why the right is winning: they've won the culture wars by co-optin

It's more like the song emerged from watching the two ex-Green MPs being lynched. Then, after discovering a bit more about the Beatles, it seemed fitting. We're not boyfriend-girlfriend. She reads my messages, but hasn't replied. She prefers to use other means. The way I see it, she came onto me during the whole witch hunt that happened after her shoplifting incident became public. Saw a profile in Stuff which suggested she'd been reading the Dirty Creatures story and watch

Because they had to decode my semiotics in order to produce that porn. Plus the labels are sorta self-explanatory, presuming one was reading my page. My ads reached over 100,000 people last year. I'm hardly anonymous. - Re: the self-confidence captions. The numbered ones were the originals, and the rest were DeviantArt additions. I like guys, but I'm chaste for spiritual reasons. "Nothing's ever going to change my world..." I prefer women, but I'm not completely straig

Would that be the same community that called me a pervert for a number of years, then tried to perv on me while I was wanking to prove I was diseased? People think that the queer community protects itself, but that's not true anymore. Who was doing the protecting? Trannies and others who talked with their fists. - In my case, my words are my weapons. It's not about being afraid: it's an ongoing experiment in unfiltering myself that began in my psychonaut days. The things

Weeded Out , Polynesian Third Genders, and the Refusal of Spectacle Abstract This essay examines the relationship between gender nonconformity and celebrity through a comparative framework that juxtaposes Western visibility-based gender politics with Polynesian third-gender ontologies. Using the screenplay Weeded Out  as a primary creative–philosophical text, the essay argues that contemporary celebrity culture functions as a technology of exposure that is structurally incom

Dear Hollywood executives, I write to place on record my formal position regarding my independently authored spec script Beatles Invade New Zealand!  and any prior or ongoing communications concerning potential screen performance or casting. 1. Status of the Script Beatles Invade New Zealand!  is an unsolicited, independently written spec script . It was developed as a creative adaptation of a published AudioCulture article and conceived, at the time of writing, as a historic

No, I'll never work for you. I don't care which franchises you've bought. Bluntly, my IP is worth a few million dollars now. Coming from a company that has demonstrated a lot of queerphobia in recent years, the offers seem like tainted apples intended to make sure that I don't help my allies with our election. - Signing up to do Merrily We Roll Along would result in a 20-year gag order. You'd almost certainly include clauses that involve my IP. That's what Mr. Trump and M

I was formally referred to New Zealand’s Fixated Threat Assessment Centre (FTACNZ) by Parliamentary Security, despite there being no threats, no criminal conduct, no proof of sexualised communications, and no sustained psychiatric diagnosis . The referral occurred in the context of a prolonged creative and political dispute surrounding my work, particularly sustained pressure to produce a specific film project ( Weeded Out ) and my refusal to abandon other political projects

Sorry, you lose. You can't destabilise my protests to back Luxon. The Intelligence and Security Act is very clear on this point. - 18 Specific duties of Director-General of an intelligence and security agency   The Director-General of an intelligence and security agency must take all reasonable steps to ensure that— (a) the activities of the agency are— (i) limited to those that are relevant to the performance of its functions; and (ii)  kept free from any influence or cons

A A/G# Time has sung A/G F#sus4 Her final song: D6 D69 Loud and proud. D6 D69 Always proud. A A/G# Rhyme has wrung A/G F#sus4 Her last embrace: D6 D69 Sweet and sad, D6 D69 Then you're glad.

If I've said no more than twice, published cease-and-desists on the premise that y'all were avidly reading my blog, then begun a police investigation, then it's over. As I say, the challenge is to become the Stones to my Beatles. - As many a songwriter has discovered, some of my songs are worth more than a script. Nevertheless, the script is the container that amplifies their overall value. Nobody buys records anymore, particularly of alternative music. In the 1960's I'd

It's clearly the IP. While people like my covers, it's my original songs that are valuable. Tina is a perfect example. She's worth millions. That character, that moment, that idea = $50 million over several seasons. It didn't have to be me. In fact, I was poorly qualified. I didn't just say no: I made numerous screen tests. Yet they still sold the script... says the IP was valuable, not me. - Mr. Barr and his allies probably realised they didn't have chain of title. They

Well, it's not a musical. It's a film about musicians. They say my demos are good enough for ML. The Beatles are a lot like us, so it's fun to compare notes. As I say, Paul dictated a note for Moments Flow. We're sending mind images and chattering. Covering the songs is fun. After all the technical criticism of the opera, it's nice to mess around with blues tunes. The characters are coming fairly easily now. - I thought the Anthology wasn't queer enough, so that's a foc

Nobody mentions it cos they're European, but they're technically an Indigenous band. They're just a bunch of guys from Northern England, not Americans. Reminding people that indigeneity isn't all about skin colour. - As a guitarist myself, I'm fairly sure that George could read music a bit. To get that good, it's sorta required. Like, reading the melody for a leadsheet or something, not classical guitar.

No particular reason. I've spent most of this year working on the harassment case. Plus we're not at the point where we need religious support for a mass protest. Next month is a test. The opera's sounding good, and Dave's cracking on with the libretto/lyrics.

Ask your wankers to rerun the numbers. Not your numbers: National and Act's numbers. This is just like Hollywood: your PR wankers have algorithms, and you won't apologise unless the polls are neutral. Too bad. Lose a point, but gain three later. Use this as an excuse to school the posers on how to be adult lefties. It's important for the Private Member's Bill that we prove discrimination is universal. Sorry. Got to fall, Marama. I'm not asking the party for money. I'm asking

Yes, I know I sound like a South Islander in te reo as well as English. Took some basic reo in Year 7, plus Hori had an old mate that he consulted with. It's the weakest whakapapa link, but I'm still proud to have SI heritage.
