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.

Nomy Lamm from Sins Invalid, April 2011.

Nomy is dressed as a mermaid with full tail created by the amazing Zavisha of Heart Attack Culture for Nomy’s astounding performance of “Belly Up” at the Sins Invalid 5th Anniversary Performance. Copyright Richard Downing 2011, courtesy of Sins Invalid.  

Sins Invalid is a disability justice and sexual freedom performance project in the SF Bay Area that incubates and celebrates artists with disabilities, centralizing disabled artists of color and queer and gender-variant artists with disabilities as communities that have been historically marginalized.  

Sins is making a great documentary and needs help! Check out their Kickstarter campaign here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dancersgroup/sins-invalid-an-unshamed-claim-to-beauty.

Please signal boost both for awesome and also to help get this documentary made!
