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.

: Myth: the butterfly

everysmilealie:

I am not a fucking butterfly inside of a fucking fat plushy cocoon that only needs to break out, spread my wings, and soar.

I ain’t the butterfly.

I’m still flipping out that someone said fat people hold fat celebrities hostage in their bodies by being suspicious of their weight loss.

THIS IS MY BODY

THERE IS NO “INNER ME” THAT NEEDS TO GET OUT

I AM NOT A PRETTY SKINNY GIRL IN A FAT BODY

please stop the madness

I guess I’m more pissed than usual over this bigotry because people in the past have made me feel like my body was something I could take off if I wanted to and tried hard enough, like I was wearing a fat suit.
