The lack of boomer LGBTQ+ people isn’t because it’s “more popular now.” Many were murdered by their peers, died from government inaction during the AIDS crisis, committed suicide due to lack of social supports, or have had to live in the closet due to their peers’ cruelty.

Fat Bear Week is back for 2023!

Hello fellow fat bear enthusiasts! I (@spacetypo) created this blog to make use of the new poll feature and see who Tumblr thinks is the fattest bear! Every day I will post a poll of the day's matches with links to go vote on the official site, and will be updating this pinned post. Voting is open from 12:00-21:00 EST (09:00-18:00 PST).

FBW 2023 will be running from October 4th to October 10th.

Fat Bear Week Info and voting: https://explore.org/fat-bear-week

Match up of the day 1: 806's Spring cub vs 428

Match up of the day 2: 402 vs 901

I am not affiliated with Katmai National Park, I'm just a fan and have been making videos covering FBW on my channel since 2020.

Bear 747- 2022 Fat Bear Week Champion

Choose the fattest bear of the year! Some of the largest brown bears on Earth make their home at Brooks River in Katmai National Park, Alaska. Brown bears get fat to survive and Fat Bear Week is an annual tournament celebrating their success in preparation for winter hibernation.  Fat Bear Week 2023 is October 4 - October 10. Your vote decides who is the fattest of the fat. Matchups will be open for voting between 12 - 9  p.m. Eastern (9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Pacific). Download your bracket to predict your own fat bear winner. This is a single elimination tournament. For each match-up, vote for the bear you believe best exemplifies fatness. The bear with the most votes advances to the next round. Only one will be crowned champion of Fat Bear Week. Learn more about the history of Fat Bear Week.

2023 Fat Bear Week

This year, Fat Bear Week starts on October 4 and concludes on Fat Bear Tuesday, October 10. In addition to voting during this week-long tournament, there will be a series of online chats on explore.org featuring Mike Fitz, explore.org's resident naturalist, and rangers from Katmai. These chats focus on both the individual bears and Katmai's healthy ecosystem. Throughout the season, you can also tune in to the explore.org bear cams, which offer unprecedented access to the lives of the bears of Brooks River. There are also special live events on a variety of topics hosted weekly throughout the season. Who's who in the bracket? We will reveal the bracket live here at 3 PM AKDT/7 PM EDT on October 2. More photos can be found on Katmai's Flickr site.
