"Fat acceptance doesn’t simply advocate in favor of fatness. Fat acceptance is also about rejecting a culture that encourages us to rage and lash out at our bodies, even to hate them, for looking a certain way. It’s about setting our own boundaries and knowing ourselves, and making smart decisions about how we live and treat ourselves, and ferociously defending the privacy of those choices. It’s about promoting the idea that anything you do with your body should come from a place of self-care and self-love, not from guilt and judgment and punishment. It’s about demanding that all bodies, no matter their appearance or age or ability, be treated with basic human respect and dignity. That’s the world I’d like to build. For all of us."

Such an important message! As a child who recognized societal preference for certain body types, from a young age, this is especially important. People don’t realize how young children interpret these messages. Preschool children know the word “fat” and recognize that anyone who falls into that category is not looked on kindly.
Redefining Body Image // Call for Submissions // Photography
Reopening this call for photo submissions!
I am in great need of some photos to help inspire me as I continue to work on a new website and other projects for RBI. Your photos may be featured in future RBI tactics so any photos you submit may be used to help design:
- RBI branding/logo/identity
- a brand new legit blog
- an upcoming zine
- any future posters or viral image campaigns
- etc, etc…
All bodies, all shapes, all races, all gender identities, all ages - Anyone and everyone - I want your body!
Want to submit? Follow these steps (and READ CAREFULLY, otherwise I won’t be able to use your submission!):
- Either locate already existing photos or snap some new shots of your fabulous body. The photos must be as high quality as possible (high resolution, very little grain or blurriness, no mirror shots where you can see the camera and no webcam photos please.)
- Keep in mind when selecting or taking photos that the idea is to accentuate your body shape, so please wear close-fitting clothing, a bathing suit, underwear, or something similar. No nudes please.
- On the other hand, if you’re a fashion-forward individual and wish to submit some photos of you in your favorite outfits, that is also welcome.
- Feel free to submit as many photos as you like and as many poses as you like - There are no limitations. Get fun and creative! It’s all about representing your shape.
Got questions? Ask.
Otherwise, submit away my dears!
As always, if you would like to reblog and spread the word that would be lovely. <3
I’m workin’ on the new website tonight - SEND ME PICS PLZ! <3
