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.

It’s 1.30am and I’ve just been awakened by low blood sugar, as I eat toast to raise my sugar levels I hear Nick’s CPAP machine making the most horrible squawking noises. I remember when we met, we had sleepovers and I’d remember him gasping for breath as he slept and he was diagnosed with sleep apnea.  He’s had his machine for eight years, almost as long as we’ve been together and now it’s pretty much dead. He’s needed a new one for years and money has just never been there.

I want to buy him a new CPAP machine and it’ll take about $300 for a new one with a mask and strap and everything if we get it from the US. It would cost double that for one from Australia, ridiculously enough! (Our health insurance doesn’t cover it.) Nick has been my carer and my biggest support person over the last decade, I don’t know how I could be here without him. He denies himself so many things to look after me.

If you would like to support my goal and you like my art and can afford it, do head over to Fancy Lady Industries and see if there’s anything there you would like to purchase. I have prints of my artwork, fat necklaces, vain necklaces and other things available!
