Is healthy. It motivates me: I seldom write, and one of my main motivators is proving points, or spite.


I do write for love and all those emotions too, but with the activism spite is a powerful motivator.


That includes the spiting of artists who want to use me as a connect to their drug habit! 😀 -


But spiting the cops and the censors is one of my main joys in life.


Seriously: I've loved the dance I've played with the censors since 2020. It's been reliably entertaining. -


And that's what's so clever: my stuff may be explicit, but seldom is it pornographic.


Even Your Scent isn't actually porn. It doesn't depict a sex act; it just implies one.


That's the genius - making love with our words, to quote Sondheim and Lapine. 👌
