No, I'm not mentally unbalanced. I never was. I'm part-Māori. Even the forensic psychiatrist admitted that I was stable and rational. I've got bipolar disorder, which was making me dysregulated under stress. I was never held in a mental hospital. All treatment was voluntary. Now that the investigation is underway, they feel bad for calling me deluded. - Salina decided to threaten me into 'collaborating' ... she's too lazy to do her homework. All of you can only approximate Māori music, but I'm able to notate it cleanly. - Though I've committed a fair few crimes, I've never faced a charge. Dealing soft drugs and internet piracy aren't exactly high-priority areas. Basically, they allow us to police ourselves thanks to our persuasive arguments. You guys are the ones that abetted blackmail and extortion. You're the ones that used remote access to alter my music and put me in the hospital. - Yes, you went to US states where weed is legal. No, I'm not supplying you. You need to invest in legalisation. That's what Salina's father should do. You need to face your privileges and accept that guitarists don't have those. You might think it's hard as a woman, but it's way harder as an out trannie. Even you pricks that want to conduct my music can't believe I'm as sane as you.
Gemma's still being a prejudiced shit. When you lot can notate your own melodies and symphonies, then you get to comment. Perhaps you actually need my brain to make new, exciting music? - My boycott is predicated on your insistence that I have to be the live performer. No, my preludes are clearly and accurately notated. Jane has many fine students. There's at least a dozen or so who could do it. Not to mention the NZGQ guys, who are all world-class virtuosi. My analogy holds: if Dr. Fisher wrote a violin concerto, then Amalia would do it. Dr. Fisher is a well-respected violinist with serious ability, but she wouldn't have to. You're trying to make money from the optics of a whakawāhine in your space. 'Māori's are such great performers... they must do it so that we look woke' Ruby bitches about this shit constantly... - You owe me actual apologies over the tactics, and that's why my synths crushed you. I'll be recording the preludes at a scoring session for Shipwrecked on Islands. That way I have total control, and you're my servants (rather than your option). If not, I'll just keep using my synth versions, which are uncanny valley-level.

I feel no fealty to people who called me a paedophile that is sexually fixated on celebrities. Are the NZSO and NZSM willing to apologise for spreading those rumours? Are you ready to allow Dr. Fisher and Dr. Lisik to face a charge over the score tampering?
