I'm in Late Night Knife Fight on Saturday! headlined by MAL AND MOG and at Bats and, notably, at 7.30.

My friends and I are still covering sign ups for people who can't afford it! DM me if that's you ^_^

But… how will we pay for it? (🧵 with words). This phrase is used to obfuscate, deflect and generally suppress progressive policy. Why don’t dentists help the thousands of people suffering with tooth ache? Why is shit pouring into the harbour when it rains? Why are people sleeping in tents... [1/n]

TAPPING THE SIGN: trans issues are important not only because trans people are cool, but also as a vital litmus test of someone's politics: do they stand with the oppressed against conservatism and patriarchy, embracing the beauty and diversity of our human community or are they a fucking fascist

How do I advertise for a theatre/improv admin assistant when the hours are inconsistent and the skillset is oddly wide I have a lot I want to get done but the struggle to get the little things done is exhausting

First, the good news. The bathwater has been disposed of.

Go to internetnz.nz/membership/ to sign up before March 31 2026. Then make sure you vote for the board elections, and turn up to the online AGM and ensure the right wing don't capture INZ and implement their anti diversity agenda.

This is why I unapologetically tell the economics students to change their major to something respectable.

The Mammoth Hunters Definitely could have been worse, but we passed it around at intermediate, giggling at the sex scenes I’ve never read any of the rest of the series

probably a pattern game or a deconstruction

Whānau, remember how the far-right tried to take over Internet NZ last year and we kicked their butts? They haven't learned, and they're trying to do it again this year. Register by March 31st ($21 for a year) so you can vote in the AGM and send them packing again. members.internetnz.nz

Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman

Looking to consolidate my websites and newsletter into one single site. Currently on Strikingly and Substack: the former is fine but would not accommodate the newsletter, the latter is Not Cool and I neeeeed to move. If anyone has strong opinions/advice on where to go, I'm all ears!

Labour is not your friend. Wellington deserves better #nzpol

31 years ago today, Krusty the Clown first mentioned saying “the quiet part loud,” an expression which has since gone on to widespread usage. #TheSimpsons episode “A Star is Burns” first aired March 5, 1995.

Hey babes watching Bridgerton: we're all just aspiring for Mr and Mrs Mondritch levels of romance right?

Hello Tāmaki Makaurau I am heading to the Auckland Improv Festival and will be bringing my show TAROT with the wonderful @jeanthreepwood.bsky.social as our tarot witch, it was great at NZIF and I reckon it'll be great in your hood too www.eventfinda.co.nz/2026/aif-tar...

It's ONE WEEK until the Wellington Pride Festival starts, so here is our plea to you today: www.wellingtonpridefestival.com/events

2026.02.25 Found a new vocal stem and coping mechanism today!

Good news — the Verb Festival will be back in Wgtn this year, with new co-directors Gabrielle Vincent and Kate McDonald. Dates are 11–13 September 2026, with LitCrawl running separately on November 14. Verb will also be delivering special one-off events with international writers, and residencies.

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.

I'm going to a bunch of Fringe shows, how's about some mini reviews? Thread coming... #pōnekelive

"Remember, having your options open doesn't really do you any good unless, eventually, you choose one of your options." Sometimes getting plenty of newsletters that I only sometimes read brings me VERY HELPFUL ADVICE (thanks Hank and John Green)

it also looks like shorter work weeks, universal free/low-cost childcare, rent caps, walkable cities/accessible and reliable public transport, free education and healthcare...essentially, eliminating the conditions that keep people exhausted, in debt, financially insecure and time-poor.

BUT, since we were forced to do that, we recognise that the work our amazing expert witnesses put into their briefs of evidence is an important community resource. With their permission, we are proud to share these briefs on our website now. www.wellingtonpridefestival.com/hrrt-evidence 2/2

do not go piggly into that good wiggly

bad week 2026 day 19 - 4 very rude dogs

If any of these pieces resonated with you, please share them - sharing my work is by far the best way to support me without taking out a paid subscription. Thanks so much! #nzpol #kikorangi

Improv is much better AND much worse than you think

The Free Speech Union commissioned a "security" report on us, so we tested their security. Turns out - it sucks. We've now published the names of everyone who has donated to a FSU fundraiser, along with how much they gave and to which campaign. www.transbashback.com/fsu.html xoxo BASH BACK

I wrote this piece because I only learned about pelvic floors a few years ago, despite having had one all my life. And then it turned out to be where I store all my issues. And then that turned out to be true for a lot of people www.wired.com/story/the-pe...

Hey cis fam have a read about what’s happening. Think how you can support trans folks in your life, in particular young ones and their whānau patha.nz/news
