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.

Like, it’s fat… but it’s firm. I can flex my butt cheeks and it will become rock hard. I have to actively attempt to make it jiggle when I dance, so I work extra hard. It doesn’t really jiggle when I walk.

I just have a really firm butt, almost like I work out, but it’s also really fat. My arms, breasts and stomach, hell, even my thighs jiggle on their own more than my ass does, and all are less firm. I do not understand.

You guys should tell me what your butts are like, if you’re also as firm. I guess I have this idea in my head that most fat bottomed girls’ butts jiggle a lot, especially from what I’ve seen in GIFS and videos but maybe I’m wrong.

My butt is totally not jiggly! It’s kind of flat. I mean, it jiggles in certain ways, but is not inherently super-jiggly. I like it very much, but I didn’t always like it. It’s kind of like “the wave” except flatter and I like wearing things to make it look rounder than it really is. But other times I don’t care and just own the flatness. I don’t know, I LOVE BUTTS.
