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.

sleepydumpling:

Continuing on with the body positivity theme for the New Year’s Revolution, until it’s the 2nd of January all over the world.

It’s not that I disagree with the language or the message, or this campaign in general. It’s just that it’s so goddamn cliché.

I don’t want a poster telling me what I am or am not. Telling people they need to love themselves and their bodies will more often than not turn them away from wanting to do so. That may be just me, I don’t know. What speaks to me isn’t the same as what speaks to my audience.

This is just me trying to figure out the tone and language I want to use in my own creative body positivity endeavors, no offense is meant to Love Your Body or anything related.

Next: Define my audience. Don’t direct, but suggest.
