It's great to connect with so many naturists here, and I love all the people I'm seeing - old friends and new!
I am happy to follow almost any naturist account, but unfortunately I'm much, much less likely to follow you if you have no pic, and even less likely to follow you if you've never posted.

Before I actually tried social #nudism, I used to pick up Going Natural at a local magazine shop. It was a great intro to #naturism - and I have even written for them in the past as well!
@planetnude.co has a great history of this excellent #naturist publication.

Great piece (as usual) from @planetnude.co - "The Nudist Charm of Jucita"! I've come across this comic before but @nudernix.bsky.social's breakdown of the comic's qualities is excellent. Here's to a nudist icon! (Also consider following bsky.app/profile/juci... !)

A resort's newsletter editor just asked permission to reprint the linked article about compliments - a compliment in itself! This has been my most popular piece and I'm proud that it's going in front of a new #naturist audience. Thoughts on the article are welcome!

Stop and think before you compliment a nudist! | Write Nude
All of these are compliments. They’re all positive, all saying something nice about the person they’re direct at. And they’re the wrong thing to say.

I cannot agree with this article enough. The transactional mindset is the death of association (not just Associations, but the interaction of human beings). It's not just selfishness; it's a whole worldview that tries to reduce everything down to things that are easily quantified (usually dollars).
Our latest article is a bit more serious than our usual but it's an important topic of discussion in our current world.

I really like this article. "Many misconceptions link nudity with indecency or immorality, and those falsehoods can influence lawmakers and the public... Activists can reshape public perception and demonstrate that naturism is wholesome, family-friendly, and rooted in personal freedom."

This is really important. If you don't put diversity and accessibility first, you don't find diversity and accessibility. If you don't lead with voices for diversity and accessibility, you don't make space for them in your organization.
That's the main reason for which I only lasted 8 months as president of said association. We tried to bring substantial change, but the opposition made our task extraordinarily difficult. So I stayed on as a board member for the youth group, the only space in the club where I feel truly comfortable.

Wow, there's a lot of great stuff on Bluesky today!
This piece from @zaftigpink.bsky.social is an excellent essay on #naturism, with an important question: how much of nudism should be radical and oppositional, and how much should look at our history and tradition? I'd love to know your thoughts!

Building on what @greyfriarsisle.bsky.social recently posted about genAI, I want to talk about a naturist "podcast" I came across recently: Naked Norm. In three months, they published over 60 episodes, each clocking in at about 12-13 minutes. And it's always good to see new naturist podcasts right?

Read this series of posts. It's a crucial topic and one that we all need to be aware of. Excellent advice and perspective, @greyfriarsisle.bsky.social.
Some time ago (before I joined, I think), @planetnude.co did a podcast on (generative) AI and naturism. I didn't want to listen to it when I found it, because I'm not a big podcast person and anyway, I'd already made up my mind that gen AI was going to bring nothing good to anything, anywhere.
