Why yes I am delighted that there was a competition where fattest is best and I'm even more delighted that a fellow fat Holly won the Fat Bear competition.

My favorite quote has to be "Holly was single this summer and able to devote all her energy toward herself," which inevitably made me think Ah, I see she's a Lizzo fan too! (This is basically the theme of her new, and best, album.)

Seriously, though, it's so rare to see fatness talked of as a positive thing in any context that lines like ""It's almost like the river got higher when Holly went in the water to catch a fish," or "after she gives birth in the den her pudgy rolls will be converted to nutritious and fatty milk for tiny cubs"...feel profoundly weird, and great, to read.

I stumbled across this news first thing in the morning and I've been thinking at random times all day Holly the bear is the fattest! and it makes me so happy every time.

That is one big and beautiful brown bear. I’m glad she won.

That's a nice change of pace from everything else around.
