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.

LOL JUST KIDDING NO I’M NOT SORRY

I would also like to reiterate this point and add to it that I fully recognize the rights of oppressed parties to fucking rage WHENEVER THE FUCK THEY WANT TO.

A few days ago I contributed to a discussion about misgendering. I included a story about almost slipping up and misgendering a trans* friend of mine and detailed my thought processes that were involved.

This morning I woke up to a raging message in my ask box regarding that post.

I had overstepped a line and contributed to a discussion that I wasn’t welcome to contribute to - for that I heartily apologize. I have removed the offending post from my blog and have learned why it is wrong to contribute to a discussion that is not meant for me and my cis-privilege.

I also fully acknowledge that the person who sent me that raging bitch message has EVERY FUCKING RIGHT IN THE WORLD TO BE ANGRY. And I thank them for setting me fucking straight.

When people get angry, it’s for a goddamn good reason. And the world gives us plenty of reasons to get angry, so best get fucking used to it.
