There’s always a non-zero amount of poop in the water. The best way to check whether it’s currently at safe levels is via LAWA: here’s a Wellington-specific link. www.lawa.org.nz/search?latit...

Wellington! I’ve been working on something cool with a couple of lovely collaborators. Good Luck Craft Club is a monthly craft meetup for artists of Asian descent in the Wellington region. Central CBD locations, ticketed workshops, BYOC(bring your own craft) and a community craft box.

You’re here and you’re queer and you’d like to organise a low key community event of some kind during Wellington Pride (6-22 March)? Cool! Contact @wellingtonpride.bsky.social

New "I don't recall saying good luck" just dropped.

Absolutely delighted to add a new large Signature Event to the festival on Mar 21. We worked with our friends at Brewtown to create a really special day of queer music artists. Ladyhawke! Bec Sandridge! Dateline! Ardon England! Tahini Bikini! & some ticket $ to us www.brewtown.co.nz/event/out-in...

Three spots have opens up in our Queer Cooking Class tonight. Want to joint us? Email [email protected] now!

Oh cool, Wellington really is more and more turning itself into a museum rather than being a living, breathing, and—crucially—evolving city

if we're gonna live forever in the 90s can we convert manners st back into a mall

Someone needs to explain to the Stuff editorial team that the word for non-productive members of society who rent out commercial buildings is “landlord”, and that “cycle lane” is what we call a lane for bicyclists and nothing to do with property speculation.

Almost every “beloved Wellington business closes” has been about landlords. Even the ones about businesses struggling because of fewer people working in Wellington have been because the landlord does not care and will not help.

A sales pitch rather than actual data? Under this government? Surely not!

We used to be a great city (for many). We need a new Bernie, Mittens, Lola... someone to unite us

Inspiration for Wellington City Council’s already good social media team!

No one _who lives in Wellington_ benefits from a road tunnel to the airport

Does anyone know what the protest among Thorndon Quay this morning was about?

We would love to see shops everywhere doing this! How fun!

OH NO! ANYTHING BUT THIS! Quick, Orchestra Wellington, please bring us your smallest violins so we can rend our clothing and hair at this tragedy of homes being slightly more affordable instead of returning ever growing profit to landlords

last week i went out to matiu / somes for one of my quests and what a haunting, beautiful place. so much history crammed into one tiny island. really recommend going if you haven't. read my piece now on the @wellingtonista.bsky.social wellingtonista.com/2026/01/14/t...

We wear skits over pants more becaus of the wind, so need more clothes to do so, duh

Want to be a part of Pōneke's biggest Rainbow fair? We've still got a few spaces left for stallholders, so apply now! See you at Odlin's Plaza for Out in the City, 15 March, 2026! www.wellingtonpridefestival.com/events/out-i...

Taken from Downtown Community Ministry’s insta, here’s the items they need the most right now. You can also donate straight into their bank account www.dcm.org.nz/support-dcm. So if you’re feeling uuuugh about the state of the world right now, why not do something to help local if you can?

Hahahaha www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

PSA for anyone needing blood tests in Pōneke: the Courtenay Pl branch of Awanui Labs is closed until the 20th of Jan. The Terrace branch is open, but has huge queues.

Hey queer performers of Pōneke: Homer Neurotic is curating the Datacom stage at Out in the City for us this year and applications are open now if you want to perform! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

This is how WgtnCC will fix the pipes with a user pays system

Apparently “all New Zealanders” are wankers who like to drive their cars too fast

Plus the issue isn’t the capacity of the bypass and tunnel, it’s the number of cars. Reduce the number of cars and the “problem” goes away without having to destroy even more of the city.

Luke's opinion is trash, and The Post should be embarrassed to even publish it. Billions of dollars to save some people a few minutes on a commute that isnt really that bad - while we have thousands out of work, thousands starving. We dont need more roads. End of story. #nzpol

LMAO. I wonder why Nicola doesn't fancy her chances in Wellington 🤔 www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Imagine fighting to keep shitty, shitty Courtenay Place the way it is…

Are the Thorndon Cathedral bells playing ‘Ecuador’ by Sash! ? Or are we hearing things???

Train manager just made an announcement reminding all the children on the train that there's only 7 sleeps til "The Big Man in Red" comes to visit. I, of course, approve of our public transport staffers spreading the good word of Karl Marx to the children.

*cough* NZTA plans for urban highways and tunnels in Wellington

Tell your favourite stores! 🌈

QED is holding a rally on parliament grounds at 12pm on Thursday the 18th, where they'll present Lauren Craig and Ngahuru Brown's ActionStation petition to reverse the ban on puberty blockers I'm in Wellington on Thursday, so I'll be there. I hope you can join me! www.facebook.com/events/84852...

Anyone in Pōneke recognise this artist? We found 4 pieces of art we'd like to return to the owner.

😿😿😿

What it's like here today, via The Ghost Hunter's Guide to the Alphabet: “Wellington on a good day” is when you instantly get why no one believes this place is real, sometimes. Read it all: www.patreon.com/posts/ghost-...

Hey, so guess what I did? 🧵 Can I prove Deloitte used AI to write this report? No. But that would honestly be the less embarrassing option. The research in this report is below par for a 1st year undergrad, where they even bother to show research. Let's unpack some of the mistakes I found. #nzpol

This website shows what it could be like if we were a real country wbholland.github.io/trainspose/

They could take over the Rydges at the airport and use that as parliament. Or the golf course.

Põneke: consultation for the horrendous second Mount Victoria tunnel and Basin Reserve clusteruck are open until 11:59pm next Sunday. Take the chance to tell them we don’t want our city bifurcated by a giant motorway for people who don’t live here. nzta.mysocialpinpoint.com/SH1-Wellingt...

What was the Indian restaurant that became Mighty Mighty called?
