Join The Body is Not an Apology Book Club for a watch party of the new Hulu series "Shrill," based on the memoir by Lindy West.

We'll bring the show and the popcorn - feel free to bring other snacks if you like.

The Body Is Not an Apology Book Club is a place to explore the world of the body in its broader social and communal worlds. Our approach is based in Body Liberation - we celebrate the bodies we have with pride and curiosity and love. We explore topics such as fat liberation, disability, race and racism, and aging.

Co-Hosted by Elliott BatTzedek and Melanie Jones. Elliott is Events Coordinator for Big Blue Marble. Melanie is Founder of “You Don’t Have to be Teeny to be a Yogini”, a gentle modified approach to yoga that celebrates all body types. www.abundantyogini.com.

We meet the 3rd Tuesday of each month at Big Blue Marble Bookstore.
