This is a body-positive blog. It is anti-thinspo, but instead of targeting pro-ana, we promote self love. This blog is completely all body loving, and is open to questions, advice, whatever in the ask box. If you disagree with an opinion we state, say so, and we will discuss it calmly.

As well as body-positivity, we post a lot about feminism, racism, privilege, and a whole bundle of other things.



It is likely that a lot of this blog will be triggering. We do try and put trigger warnings on posts, but if at any point you find it triggering, block this page/unfollow/whatever you need to do.

The force that allows white feminist authors to make no reference to racial identity in their books about ‘women’ that are in actuality about white women is the same one that would compel any author writing exclusively on black women to refer explicitly to their racial identity. That force is racism. In a racially imperialist nation such as ours, it is the dominant race that reserves for itself the luxury of dismissing racial identity while the oppressed race is made daily aware of their racial identity. It is the dominant race that can make it seem that their experience is Representative.

    One would think that white women would know better than to condone ANY sort of inequality… racism being one of the most...
