Everyday is a school day! Never heard of this!

Good Moaning! 😂

Ok. Reflecting on the ”while following & being followed” criticism. Turns out that applies to both of us, so we might both benefit from some housekeeping & those who liked the “post“ might check beforehand next time.

Not looking for a row, just noting reality here 🫶 ✌️

Thanks for your work tho 🙌

Hmm. I was, I thought, in agreement with your question and widening it.
You clearly have more knowledge of the nature breadth and depth of naturism so why not use your platform to share that in this instance?
Or have I missed the educational opportunity here?

Oh I’m one of those unfashionable types who thinks the last thing anyone needs right now is more social media apps. coming together to listen and learn from each other yes. Algo and data optimisatio? not so much. And I’d said our, not your content…

That was for everyone I was being lightly sarcastic. Also riffing on the anonymity. We know of Musk and Zuck but we don’t know who is ”hosting” all the content and skin we‘re sharing with on this most social of media.

Your principles are groovy btw. #1 could be a little clearer but the rest, 100%

I understood your question precisely. My question stands. Please step forward if you’re running or involved with a website or platform catering to naturists. Naturists value visibility and authenticity highly; go ahead and introduce yourselves!

Good question. While we’re on the subject , does anyone know who is behind any of the other platforms currently vying to service the naturist “community“ ?

Break on through to the other side! 🙌

so many of us do! I’ve noticed slowing down and bringing my concentration to actually seeing helps. Also trying to learn anatomy, and constant sketching!

That’s so sweet. We’ve talked about doing that too someday, but boy can life get in the way...

Brilliant. A single GIF sums up how we’re feeling about the online naturist experience atm 😂📦

Mate. Deep breath. Sending strength. Reach out if it would help.

I was about to say your loss is our gain, but I’ve also read reports of more snow here by the end of the month ☀️❄️

Coincidentally just started The Will to Change this past weekend.

Fair enough. Then I guess maybe Stockholm syndrome could be part of the motivation?

Tell me to mind my own business by all means, but the motivation for a questioning post like this is equally interesting. If performative anything is happening in this day and age, wouldn’t it be better for everyone if it was called out directly? Or are you genuinely just wondering out loud?

Aah that’s helpful to know! Sure that’d be great. DM if easier. And thanks! 🙏

Oh so not a permanent effect? Which model?

We’ve been considering this recently. Any recommendation/advice welcone!

Or indeed to corrupt governance, chaos creators and war profiteers!

Yes & still, for me not so much. I’m coming at this from a carbon POV:

Less laundry 👍
Less sweatshop manufacturing 👍
Less landfill 👍
Less non compostable materials 👍

This may be equally unpopular, but for me the “logo” doesn't really speak to or celebrate naturism either. Are we really ignored?

Agreed. For me it’s also there in the merching tho. Ads hawking logo-branded tat to “promote” this simple & humble way of being often don’t sit right.

Call me a grouch, but the caps, T-shirts & mousepads etc look like the cheap marketing of the one thing that requires none of that. Less not more!

100%

As we approach the singularity, the evolutionary side step many humans will take towards becoming absolute turkeys becomes more apparent…

Made me think of Richard Long…

Just another wolf in sheep’s clothing. If you’re looking for good souls, they tend to be raising flags about or walking away from AI, not pedalling it.

you’re keen on naturism, but for me growing up , being naked allowed me space to not gaf about what I looked like & shed that burden. I genuinely hope someday, somehow you can find a way through that, whether that’s acceptance or reinstatement. You deserve to be happy & I wish that for you.

As much as I agree with Kev on his reply below I also wanted to come back and say I’m really sorry that you live with hate for part of yourself and without realising it, that my ease might’ve not felt good to you. I despair at how much our species can turn negative feelings inward. I’m not sure if

Frankly it’s a relief to see you taking a rest from all that monkeying around on the pole 😂 Enjoy!
