Just so you know: I enjoy a clothes-free lifestyle, and this account includes images of uncensored, non-sexual nudity which may not be suitable for your workplace. You may also see images of dogs, flowers and the occasional quote from the Bible. If any of these offend you, please go no further!

Definitely time for a party which stands on its own principles rather than trying to be some version of Reform-lite!

I've voted Green when the chance arises for many years, but this is the first time they've had a leader who actually seems to have the drive and charisma to turn them into a viable national party. Here's hoping!

I don't have SAD as such, but definitely dislike the darker days and closing in of the nights (clocks go back this weekend 😥). I find it really hard to motivate myself to leave the house once it's dark, and tend to cosy up in front of the fire and be totally self-absorbed.

That makes a change for you, Mike 🤣

I agree, wokeness is not the same as christian, as it is based on worldly, human values and motivations. But christian values embrace many of the same concepts, from a spiritual perspective.

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 4d

I know that dilemma!

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 4d

You can see why the ancient olympians favoured a kynodesme!

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 4d

Well, on a pretty small scale!

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 4d

Maybe we should get our heads together!

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 4d

Sounds good - but I don't have a passport and have no plans to get one. Otherwise would have been tempted!

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 5d

I'm thinking of organising a 4 night naked walking break (prob in the Peak District or Cumbria) for a small group - staying in naturist-friendly accommodation and doing a nude walk each day in late Spring/early Summer next year. Just gauging interest so let me know if you fancy the idea.

Now there's an argument I'm going enter into.

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 5d

No. Offensive? Perhaps to some people (and why should they not be allowed a different viewpoint to you?) Corrupting to youth? Hardly. But necessary? No. Damaging to your health to do otherwise? No. Covering up would at worst be mildly inconvenient and a bit annoying, but really wouldn't hurt!

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 5d

or some social setting w. other naked folk is great and quite appropriate. To insist on walking naked down the High Street is somewhat unnecessary and suggests you are just doing it to make a point, to demonstrate your right to do your thing regardless of the common consensus of etiquette. Immoral?

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 5d

Personally, I don't really see the point of being naked in such a setting. It's no big deal to put on clothes... and the pockets are useful. Sometimes blending in is absolutely fine. Stripping off on the beach, for a walk in nature, or in the comfort of a private home...

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 6d

Nothing says 'I'm not afraid of you' than trying to blast your enemies into oblivion!

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 6d

Sounds like a great recipe to me! As evening draws on I'd probably add in a roaring fire and a candle or two.

I have a washable throw on my sofa for similar reasons... and a spare duvet behind it in case I start feeling chilly!

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 7d

Yes, it's great when online contacts translate into real life friends - I've been fortunate to experience that a few times (tho living in such a remote area, it is not always that easy!)

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 7d

But I guess that's an issue with sharing any of our interests. One photo of your garden can be very similar to the next, even if the rose is now in full bloom! How many times can you photograph the same view without it becoming monotonous? Today's batch of buns looks pretty similar to yesterday's!

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 7d

I'd add another reason - to try and make connections with other like-minded people. That's prob. the main reason I post *anything* on social media. The whole 'community' thing is important to me, and sharing photos is one way of making that feel more real when distance prevents in-person contact.

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 7d

Thanks for the honesty, Paul! I'd say the same; there's a whole range of things going on when I post nudes. Some possibly seem conflicting, but we humans can be like that! I post less these days than I once did, as I've got over the 'thrill' of it, and realised some photos can be pretty boring!

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 7d

A question for naturists on here.
Do you post nude photos of yourself on this or other social media? If so, why?
Because you like to be seen?
Because you think this helps promote naturism?
Because you want to share your lifestyle with others?
Because that's how you live, so why not just be open?

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 8d

I've been voting Green for years when I've lived somewhere that fields a candidate. Sometimes - with PR in Scotland - it wasn't a wasted vote.

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 8d

We definitely need a credible left of centre party in this country.

Homo Nudus @homonudus.substack.com · 9d

Oh come on - an uncovered penis or vagina is clearly far more dangerous than a loaded gun! Only one of those is protected by the US constitution: it can only kill or maim people, the other might embarrass or anger someone!
