riffing on the news

Your hair looks nice: shorter cut?

Your voice sounds really tired: Long Covid?

- My running monologue of insanity:

Not playing a man. Not playing male roles. I'm really trans, and anyone who misses the old me only has themselves to blame for not including the new me. It's insulting to me that certain people would love me to produce a series for them, yet inviting me to dinner or to lunch is beyond their abilities. 👋

Not interested in winning hearts and minds: again, that's not the issue re: trans or cannabis.

The real issues re: these issues is mostly politicians.

Public perception is pro-decriminalisation. Don't know what the polls say about trannies... 🤔 -

I think the drag queens and shit can take on trans issues for TV; as I say, Rūrangi covered the ground already. 🧠 If people want to borrow things from my script, it'd be nice to get some credit; if you hate my script and my trans politics, then don't bug me about my singing voice and any of that nonsense. This is my approach to gender diversity, and I'm sick of the feedback about my script. That's why I shelved it. I think prose is a better medium.

Stop trying to persuade me about my Wellington script: no metaphor or analogy will persuade me. I'm really keen to publish my book.

Not the Castle, not Smash, not Pose, not Once. This is the same bullshit that Americans always attempt: if it's not able to be elevator pitched as 'this meets that', then they're not interested.

Which btws, for Shipwrecked is 'Goodbye Pork Pie meets The South Park movie'

That's a bloody good pitch, right? 👍
