Has it been a year since Camp already?

Feeling super snuggly in my new @wellingtonpride.bsky.social hoodie with cat print done by Shay Loves Orange. I got a Gildan hoodie in a 5XL & I’m a size 4 Boom or regular 28 (Obvious disclaimers etc) Yes this is basically all I post about these days #sorrynotsorry wellingtonpride.digitees.co.nz

My last Covid vaccination was blind because it was part of needle size research but today I had to ask the person at Johnsonville Life Pharmacy to switch to the larger needle Sigh

There’s no way the WPF committee'd be able to create 70+ events we’ve had at past festivals by ourselves. Maybe you’re thinking about an event you’d like to see at WPF 2026? But you don't know how to start? We've put together a beginner's guide to events! www.wellingtonpridefestival.com/how-to

What’s cooler than a fat cat? A queer fat cat that raises money for @wellingtonpride.bsky.social I wear a size 28, and this is a 5XL. It was super important to me that we offer more than just black in the larger sizes. Shirts are $50 - half goes to artis, half to WPF wellingtonpride.digitees.co.nz

Fat babe picnic happening next Saturday! Not me organising it but i fully support the kaupapa!

What news! A case for joy! 🎉🙌🏽❤️ congratulations brilliant @nuapk.bsky.social!

Giant front page article about ailing NZ fashion that even quotes my beloved production manager, and not one single mention of the fact that one major reason people don’t buy NZ fashion is most refuse to make sizes that fit the majority of population

The 5xl femme cut is 69cm flat (nice!) and of course I've taken down my shop so I can't tell you what that is in Boom equivalence but probably about a size 26?

Your fat friends will love this too, photos of seating in places you wanna go with them!

"The thin-obsessed world is growing more unflinchingly vicious to fat people again, while others stand by and do nothing to stall it. When you hate our bodies, you are teaching everyone to hate theirs."

We’re all set up and ready for Fat Queers Eating Cake, so even if you haven’t registered, take a RAT and come join us at the Tararua Tramping Club

Fat Queers Eating Cake as part of @wellingtonpride.bsky.social is tomorrow! Here's what to do 1. Register www.eventfinda.co.nz/2025/fat-que... 2. Take a RAT 3. Bring kai if you're able 4. Eat & relax with your community 5. Get your portrait sketched, if you want, by the Creative Itch Collective

And don’t forget to stock up on RATs this week - all attendees are asked to test beforehand

(It’s -always- been a very good time but…)

Also, don't forget to pick up some RATs, because we're asking everyone to test beforehand, since it's an indoor event and eating & drinking is hard in a mask

Have you registered yet for your free ticket to Fat Queers Eating Cake? It’s less than a week to go! What kai are you bringing to share? www.eventfinda.co.nz/2025/fat-que...

PSA fats: Torrid has basically halved its shipping cost ($50NZ instead of $100 so still $$$) it arrived in less than a week and you can browse the site in NZD now. I got (as well as my fav bras) a high necked bikini after too many burnt titties

PLUS SIZE BALL OUTFITS NEEDED! Yes For Success are hosting an outfit-finding session for queer youth before @wellingtonpride’s Youth Ball & i wanna make sure that fat teens get included w plenty of choices too. Got something suitable in your wardrobe that you’re done with? Slide into my DMs!

Just got my Covid booster as part of this arm size effectiveness study and it was real weird to not have to double check they were using a large needle. I recommend joining the study if you’re eligible though having to give a full life prescription history was a little trauma-stirring for me

Come eat cake* with meeeee *I will be bringing something other than cake, I am no baker

And the whole @wellingtonpride.bsky.social events calendar is online now! Find some other fun things to do too!

This is total and utter fatphobic - and ableist - bullshit www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3605...

Shout out to the amazing Iona - not only did she make this amazing outfit at the Grammys but she also made all of YOUR clothes. Well the ones from House of Boom, anyway! www.thepost.co.nz/culture/3605...

Hello! It's me again! I'm vaguely back with an event as part of Wellington Pride Festival. Fat Queers Eating Cake is exactly what it says on the tin - a free potluck gathering for fat queer community & joy on Saturday 15 March - full details at the link houseofboom.co.nz/2025/02/03/f...

This is my response to the political situation in the USA #queerjoy #queerart #resistance #hope #fattiesagainstfascism

"Her research is on an issue that is often overlooked in psychological care- unconscious bias against [fat ppl]. Despite training to avoid bias, her findings reveal clinical psychologists can still carry implicit prejudices - highlighting critical area 4 improvement" www.wgtn.ac.nz/news/2024/12...

Pōneke Sky, settle down, it’s too late, there is no more House of Boom, stop trying to make it happen

"There is actually no power in you throwing something that you think is pejorative at me, because I'll accept it and take it and therefore I have no shame,” she said." www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360... This also works for being called fat too, by the way
