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.

No one in the world has swagger like us.

In response to Lady Gaga’s heinous and miserable attempt to appropriate the burqa. It’s disrespectful to muslim women who actually do wear the burqa and no, she’s not doing anything for us by wearing it in a very sexualized manner in the name of fashion. There is nothing that will justify what she did and how she did it. This is REAL burqa swag.

Yeah about a pretty as staring through an unwashed window at the universe outside. Sorry I hate all religion equally, I am an Atheist and frankly your costume, which it is, is just a way to demean: Verb:

  1. Cause a severe loss in the dignity of and respect for (someone or something).
  2. Do something that is beneath one’s dignity.

women and their higher and more important role on this earth.  So no respect, you don’t deserve it just because you wear your burka. When you enlighten yourself to the reality that you are being treated as a second hand citizen of this planet I will respect you. Otherwise you are a sheep.

And no, I don’t care if I offend, I am an equal opportunity offender as is my right when I see ignornace.

look, a white man telling me i’m oppressed and a “sheep”

Dear White Atheists,

This is why nobody likes you. Please shut up forever.

If he’s an atheist why does he even think he’s an authority to speak on the religious garment or religion at hand anyway? BTW keep workin’ it OP.
