New writing: “It quenches a deep, deprived, parched part of me to see, even in fiction, even for only a moment, an entire community focused on the wellbeing of women. ” — @savalatweets https://t.co/A1VJ8ZGySD

“If some aspect of your identity is marginalized, loathed, or bullied—as it is for fat people—then you are in definitional danger. Which is to say, you are almost certainly being destructively defined by others. That’s what The Whale does.” @savalatweets https://t.co/pj5ucha6AX

New writing: “I want my daughter to know her body as a site for joy, a conduit for it, as joy’s bedrock, as the location where that blessed sensation announces itself again and again.” — @savalatweets https://t.co/M12AOhOfwy

[Savala Nolan @savalatweets]

New writing: “I want to suggest to you that claiming that ease — marking an interior part of yourself that is simply free and alive, that does not exist in conversation with persecution or maltreatment — is as powerful as any protest or resistance.” https://t.co/hNFH8Axmya
