OMG I can still get married at the Paramount Theatre after all! www.thegods.nz/about

More details about the roles we need to fill are available here: www.wellingtonpridefestival.com/news-1/hello...

Better Wellington/independent Together not even managing to switch to the right Facebook account to claim they’re not the same organisation is some kind of performance art, right?

So it’s not just public servants and women in general that Nicola Willis is afraid of then?

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

In a trend of terrible men being involved in politics, here’s the latest from Graham Bloxham who’s made it his duty to harass a number of us. #nzpol thespinoff.co.nz/politics/10-...

If you want to leave and never come back, Winston, that’s a decision you can make and everyone in Pōneke will endorse.

🧵 hello anyone have any specific memories of the foibles and the secret bits of these pōneke cinemas that they'd be willing to share: - paramount (closed 2019) - cinerama (closed 1987) - academy (closed 1985) - rialto (closed 1990) - hoyts (2007) - readings (closed 2019) - any of the cbd others

My objections to Andrew Little campaign for mayor isn't about Andre himself but what he represents and uses to campaign Catch phrases like "strong leadership, real change" as if we didn't already have a wahine toa who brought us to something that doesn't need changing now. Cont...

City to Sea Bridge❓ No❗️ demolition!

What I'd just say to you is, that damn #StraightUpMcAnulty is Bish's kryptonite. I might have to take him on myself. #LyinLuxon #WorstPMEver #WorstGovernmentEver #NZpol

Bless you Wellington weather for giving them the appropriate treatment

Hard to take Nicola Young et al seriously about pedestrian access and fiscal responsibility when they're not willing to spend $17m to build a new (more functional and accessible) bridge, but they want to spend $80m+ to strengthen this one. Exposes the whole enterprise as a nostalgia project...

interesting how they list the cost of things they want to cut, but not the cost of things they want to save

sorry just thinking about how I’d much rather the council spend $55M-$100M on literally anything else. hell, spend a small portion of it on propping up a mouldering greenhouse or refurbishing an unheated outdoor swimming pool in the city’s wealthiest suburb if you like

imagine this my friends: a view from the refurbished library directly through to the lagoon. that isn’t entirely blocked by a giant concrete bridge

A deceased woman would still be a better option than most of the current choices…

during every local election I should just put this on some hoardings

took me a minute to click that the Pukehīnau race in Pōneke’s local elections will be a little bit more interesting with Iona Pannett not standing - definitely won’t be a case of just returning 3 incumbents… wellington.govt.nz/your-council...

We also have a guide to creating accessible events on our website - but it's only a beginning www.wellingtonpridefestival.com/accessible-e...

Arguing for lower wages for workers? Is this his "vision for Wellington"?

GIVE US OUR BENDY BUSES GOSSHHHHHHHHHHH (like, obviously not for ALL routes. But definitely for some)

The absolute audacity of this woman blaming “local leadership” and cycleways for the flailing economy after firing our public servants. You’re the Minister of Finance AND Economic Growth. Take a hard look at yourself, your lack of plan and your missing boats before coming at us. #nzpol

Our lawyers just confirmed that the court made an order by consent for costs of $15,023.60 to WCC from Live Wellington. To date, we have received an initial payment of $674.04 towards these costs. These people need to stop holding our city back and costing Wellingtonians.

Cheapskates is closing after 40 years because of high rent and the cost of living - it’s nice to see landlords actually being blamed for once in the Post instead of bike lanes www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

hey Wellington! need a cleaner? one of my clients is moving so my every 2nd Wednesday slot will be opening up late next month $70/2 hours, $100/3 hours, + travel for locations outside of Newtown I clean w the products you have at home and can make trips on my way to keep you topped up

In news you're desperately craving, our screening of The Hunger will be hosted by the horrific Stabitha and will include prizes for best dressed, and a Q&A on queer horror. 3pm Sunday 14 September - It's going to be a bloody good time so get your tickets now! www.trybooking.com/nz/events/la...

show opens tonight fond tired excited come to it bats.co.nz/whats-on/dec...

'John Cena is a busy man and does not need to get dragged into some Wellington vs. Melbourne coffee thing' was not an opinion I was planning on having today, but here we are. =/

*Extreme Goose Meme* Who wrote those headlines, Tom Hunt? WHO WROTE THOSE HEADLINES, MOTHERFUCKER?

Hey Ice Cream Man: how exactly would tougher policing actually SOLVE homelessness? And Chung: maybe speak to frontline workers BEFORE spewing bullshit like this?

So Wellington is doing a shit ton better than Auckland at how it uses rates money and yet it’s our mayor who gets all the scrutiny? Whyever could that be, we can’t qwhite put our finger on it…

Well this is what happens when you fire our public servants. But at least your landlord mates and non-existent boats got funded. Way to go Luxon and Willis. Really top notch mahi. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3607... (paywall)

We chat with WPF committee member Steven S to find out more about exactly why we're running our monthly movie screenings and what we've got planned next www.wellingtonpridefestival.com/news-1/all-t...

The famously industrious mega city of Feilding. Population ~18k. As opposed to the Miramar peninsular, where Weta and associated companies operate, population ~19k. Would this power draw even double Miramar’s power consumption?

Was anyone else missing Your Weekend mag in your @thepost-nz.bsky.social delivery today?

Like, let’s not iRex our streets too please

Can we please just fucking get on with it? It’s been consulted on. @misswhanau.bsky.social was democratically elected on a Golden Mile platform. A lot of Wellingtonians want it. Just fucking keep going. It’s not going to get any cheaper to do. Or are we waiting until Courtenay returns to the sea?

Major accident SH2 southbound between Petone and Nauranga. Cars being diverted off motorway at Maungaraki. Tail end of backed up cars being turned around and send back north in south bound lane.

Not sure what part of my letterbox is ambiguous so it seems pretty telling that it’s received flyers from both Ray Chung and Nicola Young

This the same Greg O'Connor who thinks he's going to win the "Wellington North" electorate? Someone remind this spineless little quisling that Wellington Central voters voted for Tamatha Paul. We back MPs who are prepared to stand up and call out bullshit.

If you like the convenience of meal kits but don’t want alllllll the wasted packaging and expense, try www.yumjar.co.nz - everything is delivered in reused glass jars. It’s easy to add meat or dairy in if you just, and while I like my food spicier, they also sell veges including chillies you can add

We've got lots of ambitious ideas for Wellington Pride Festival 2026, and maybe you can help us? Your business could be tiny or giant, and your contribution can be the same. If you've got goods or services, and you want to reach (and support) our Rainbow communities, we want to hear from you!

Kind of feels like this Post article should at least mention the suburb? “Hillside property” covers most of Wellington!

Rongotai means sound of the sea or tidesound. The name change of the electorate to ‘Wellington Bays’ was not consulted on, and does not make any sense. The new boundary brings in no additional bays to the electorate. Why change?
