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.

okay seriously u guise it is truth time

i call myself a femme

and i fucking adore tumblr femmes and all the fucking gorgeous hair/makeup/clothes/shoes/vintagey crap

like you folks are fucking fierce as shit and i love you

but for fucks sake people i am so lazy 

you’re lucky if i brush my teeth

so i confess that my femme is a grungy femme

in the like literally-not-showered-in-days grungy

rather than the carefully-cultivated-crusty-punk grungy

i’m calling for other lazy-ass grungy femmes to come out of the closet

rejoice in our smudged eye makeup (you know how it’s like not in a good sexy way, but like a oh-my-god-one-eye-has-black-mold-growing-out-of-it way)

and prickly legs and armpits and whatever else we shave when we feel like it

and chipped, dirty fingernails

and greasy hair with fading dyejobs

for those of us who use cheap perfume and deodorant instead of showering or doing laundry

for those of us who eat hot wings that stain our lips and call it makeup

for those of us who live in pajamas and pile our hair into buns instead of picking up a brush or finding clean underwear

for those of us who let our pubes grow free not because we’re being revolutionary vulva warriorzz but because we’re not that fucking flexible okay

for those of us with REAL GODDAMN BEDHEAD 

I SAY WE UNITE

DISGUSTING, LAZY-ASS FEMMES 4 LYFE

TOGETHER IN SMELLY, GREASY, PRICKLY GLORY

TONIGHT WE RIDE

or not

because hey

we’re fucking lazy

am not femme obv, but totally all about this.
