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.

khthonios:

okay the thing that bothers me the most about the “triggered vs not triggered” argument is that they always forget that the term “triggered” doesn’t just mean triggering a panic attack, it can also mean triggering any type of behaviour, such as people who struggle with self harm, eating disorders, trich, etc. for example, if a pro-weight loss post or image triggers somebody to relapse an eating disorder, that is just as valid a trigger as somebody being triggered into a panic attack from the same image. it’s not a contest of who has it worse.

People are actually arguing about this? I mean, come on. Triggering content is triggering content, no matter what the specific situation is. Respect it.
