I’m at Le***an Bush Camp right now and it’s amazing, but in playing Tattoo bingo, I met someone who has a tattoo of MY MORTAL ENEMY!!!

Also pro tip: make sure the child locks aren’t on the doors into your crib because you will get stuck trying to clamber out the front instead and it’s very inelegant.

BUT if you’re sapphic, definitely go to the next near you

Fat Qu**rs Eating Cake is back for another year as part of Wellington Pride Festival I Tū whakahīhī e Te Whanganui-ā-Tara!

This year we'll be in Pride HQ, located at 28 Blair Street. It's quite a different space from the hall last year, but there'll still be plenty of good seating, gender neutral bathrooms and new fat q***r friends to be made!

Once again this is a free event - please bring food to share if you're able - and I'd appreciate it if you'd register in advance on Eventfinda so I have an idea how many people are coming.

See you there - 12pm-2pm, Saturday 14 March!

Feeling super snuggly in my new hoodie with cat print done by .

I chose the Gildan hoodie in a 5XL and I’m a size 4 Boom or regular 28.

Hey Pōneke, a friend of mine is organising this clothes swap on Sunday and you should come along!

The wonderful Emily Writes is putting together a powerful fundraiser. What do y'all reckon, fat babes? Could we donate a fat tent?

(I absolutely do not have capacity at this time to organise it myself, but I can publicise it if someone assembles a team)

Haven’t posted on the grid for a while for death related reasons but have to show y’all this amazing design for Wellington Pride Festival I Tū whakahīhī e Te Whanganui-ā-Tara. What’s cooler than a fat cat? A q***r fat cat that raises money for the rainbow community! (Obvious disclaimer: I am co-chair of WPF now. It’s not that easy to get rid of me!)

I wear a size 28 normally and this is a 5XL. It was super important to me that we (as in WPF, not Boom) offer more than just black in the larger sizes. Shirts are $50 and half the profit goes to the artist and half to WPF.
