WHAT WE'RE ABOUT

RBI focuses on using expressive writing, design-oriented work, photography, media, research, and community input to fuel fat positive, body acceptance, discussion, and outreach. Our goal is to redefine the way we view and think about body image, size, fat, discrimination, health, fitness, wellness, mental/chronic illness, stigma, and other related topics.

We are constantly redefining our own perspectives, and therefore tend to write a lot about our personal experiences. Many followers and contributors are living with anorexia, bulimia, body dysmorphic disorder, depression, and a variety of other body image disorders or mental illnesses, so please be respectful and remember that health applies differently to everyone. Any and all potentially triggering content will be prefaced with a trigger warning.

RBI supports all races, genders, classes, and sizes. We try our best to make this a safe space for everyone. If we are not doing our job or checking our privilege, we invite you to please inform us.

Some of the artwork you see here has been created by our founder or moderators, some sourced when applicable. Please be kind enough to source this blog whenever you share it's content.

We are not health professionals. Any and all advice provided on this blog is supported only by our own research, studies, and personal experiences; nothing more.

This blog is part of the Safe Space Network.

Critically thinking about the media I consume (especially with an eye towards racial and social justice) does not mean that I’m trying to be “politically correct” or ruining the fun for everyone. I’m not towing the line of identity politics (in part because I believe identity politics to be flawed and certainly not the answer to everything). Critically engaging with the world around me doesn’t mean that I have no fun, or that I’m incapable of viewing something problematic or finding value in things I find to be problematic . It just means keeping my brain turned on and—when I do turn my brain off—being open to the criticism of others, or coming back to the that particular text later with an open mind and a critical eye. 

It’s really not that hard.  

I often think about the same things.
