Piss off, Kiwis who think my stuff is NSFW. No, kids aren't going to learn about how to have unsafe sex from my videos. There's no demonstrations of any kind of sex. They're just words and art that seldom (if ever) depict penetration. You're The Top was a song people at my high school knew. It celebrates beauty, and that's all that it does. One of the key rules of musicals is that the songs stand in for sex, and that's usually the way that they're structured. That's not a joke: that's just the reality. No reality shows about me. I'm safe for kids, and you're the bigots who have a problem with me. That's your problem, prudes. Write to me, or let me live my life without you in it, stalkers who read but lack the cojones to email me. 🤣

No, no adaptations of Weeded Out or Just Like Yesterday. Please write your own plays, thank you. I'm not John Lennon. I could write my own play. In fact, I did Just Like Yesterday as an audio play.

Sarah Saunders (yes, though that was totally unintentional 🤣 .. Chloe's assistant), I'm not planning to write to you. There's not really anything to say -- now that I've got the permission for the chloefilm, I'm not really keen to email.


That's honestly what the emails were about, and I'm very glad that she agreed to let me have it. Unless the anti-prohibition coalition to dismantle the Misuse of Drugs act is something I could join to throw in my two cents, but Gary hasn't updated me on that, so I figure that not much has happened re: that.
