- Boy, did the flu suck. I was in bed for five days and still getting my stamina back a week later. Anyway, that’s where I’ve been.
- What a comic for this week…
- When we challenge the shibboleths of establishment nudism let’s try to ensure we aren’t creating new ones. Speaking from the heart, especially in online advocacy, centers the humanness of nudism. ☮️❤️🍑
- St. Francis, a hero to nudists, likely didn’t say this, despite attribution to him. I’m irreligious, but in light of world affairs: “Make me a channel of your peace Where there's despair in life let me bring hope Where there is darkness, only light And where there's sadness, ever joy” ☮️❤️🍑
- Say what you will about them but Apple nailed it with this ad. Infectious tune and a great message. Nudism is for all bodies. Some enterprising folks could bring our movement a long way with this level of inclusion and a banger tune. ☮️❤️🍑
- Re: naturism aphorism posts: is there AI overuse? Three short statements as a list, phrases like “just hits different” are common across AI writing. Throw in the leaf emoji for naturism. To me, nudism is so essentially human that to use AI for posts doesn’t hit different. It hits wrong. (1/2)

- One of our well-known influencers posted that naturism heals body shame and changes how you see your body within minutes. Lifelong nudist here. It hasn’t for me. Has it made it better? In ways. At times. If you’re not reflected in pie-in-the-sky posts, please, please know you’re not alone. ☮️❤️🍑
- Lately, naturist orgs are peppering us with platitudes that speak in absolutes in their pronouncements, like trying to dictate “x will happen.” Everyone experiences life differently and the danger in these aphorisms is it will leave people behind if they don’t see themselves in those words. ☮️❤️🍑
- Some of these are evergreen and could’ve been stated half a lifetime ago when I was a young naturist who wasn’t a joiner. I think hypersexualization of the body and messages of shame are the biggest ones, which can be compounded by technology that didn’t exist 20-odd years ago.
- The "lack" of young naturists is a complex phenomenon that requires a lot of further investigation. However, from my experience, I can think of five possible explanations (see my comment thread 🧵👇) 📸 With @ophelianaturist.bsky.social and @piryelgamer.bsky.social💚 #youngnaturists #naturism #nudism
- While I love winter, I’m warming up by remembering Little Beach, Maui, on a cold, cold night. I think if everyone got a chance to spend a few days at a place like Little Beach, humanity would benefit and how we act toward each other and the planet would improve. ☮️❤️🍑
- I read this during the hypnotized fervor for war many I knew had embraced in the early ‘00s and loved it. It helped solidify my stances on pacifism and nonviolence. It’s not easy going against the prevailing bloodthirsty narrative so it was nice to find an ally. ☮️❤️🍑
- Sad because it’s true. If we’re numb to the treatment of our trans siblings, don’t expect anything different for ourselves.
- I left religion when it became apparent they weren’t following the example of the dude they claim to worship. “Jesus never aligned either the state against the vulnerable.” Damn straight.
- It’s winter. I love the cold. I love the snow. But I’d definitely abolish ice.
- Pecos Bill was a revelation when I read it in kindergarten. I was so jealous he was raised naked by wolves and have no memory of the story otherwise. So I knew myself even then. ☮️❤️🍑
- Wow. 👏🏼
- According to @blootgesteld.bsky.social, it’s National Hat Day. ☮️❤️🍑
- And, wow, it’s been a decade since I participated in The Naturist Talks for @nakedwanderings.bsky.social. ☮️❤️🍑
