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.

Some of you just. Aren’t. Getting it.

supersandys-space:

If you call yourself “body positive”, it is imperative that you do NOT:

  • make fun of fat bodies
  • make fun of thin bodies
  • make fun of muscular bodies
  • make fun of bodies without a lot of muscle
  • make fun of breasts or nipples
  • make fun of penis length or girth or shape or color
  • make fun of labia length or color or shape
  • make fun of genitals that weren’t assigned at birth
  • make fun of freckles or moles or acne
  • make fun of rashes or redness
  • make fun of clothing choices
  • make fun of haircut or style or color or texture
  • make fun of piercings or gauges
  • make fun of tattoos or scarification
  • make fun of stretchmarks or cellulite
  • make fun of “bad” teeth
  • make fun of birth defects
  • make fun of food choices
  • make fun of makeup applications
  • make fun of the lightness of skin
  • make fun of the darkness of skin
  • make fun of physical disabilities
  • make fun of mental illnesses
  • make fun of fat rolls
  • make fun of visible ribs
  • make fun of self harm injuries or scars
  • make fun of lots of body hair
  • make fun of the lack of body hair
Basically, just don’t shame anyone else’s appearance. Ever.
It’s okay to have a preference (or 2 or 3 or 50.) It’s not okay to insult people who don’t match your preferences. Especially if you plaster “BODY POSITIVE” and “SELF LOVE” Blingee’s all over your page.
