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

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?

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

I have re-read this line 17 times. "The company is yet to experiment with creating plus-size women, claiming 'the technology is not advanced enough for that'."

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?
NEW: Nature's Cathedral tee and I'm actually so stoked, I have a new partnership with an NZ-owned apparel co-op, with fitted/femme tees, sizes thru 5XL!
Also, $3 from each of these tees will go to Forest & Bird to support conservation. <3

(It’s -always- been a very good time but…)
Not aimed at anyone specific but noticing a lot of writers/women’s/ideas festivals that still don’t include issues around fatness or fat women speaking on other things! With ozempic & TikTok’s rising pro anorexia shit, it’s a very good time to include fat ppl in your thoughts, projects & politics!

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

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

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

This is total and utter fatphobic - and ableist - bullshit www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3605...
GPs say Wellington Hospital rejecting patients based on BMI
Health NZ denies patients are being rejected solely on BMI, despite letters that list the blunt tool as the reason - with GPs fearing it’s a tactic to manage waiting lists.
