Narcissists upset me like few other people do. Especially those that always have to make everything about themselves, take over conversations, feel the need to make fun of other people's choices, likes, and enjoyments... and just plain can't see anything from any other person's perspective.

Wood storks are fantastic reminders that birds are dinosaurs.

I can't stress this enough a NATURIST organization freely posting generative AI video should be an affront to EVERYONE that supports Naturism and this organization. The person handling AANR's media needs to be removed and someone more fitting to the ideals put in place. @truebluenude.bsky.social

I don't believe it makes them a decent human being. It's just that they're in the find out phase of fuck around. They most likely still hate all the same groups of people they hated before, but now they are becoming victims of the policies that were only supposed to affect the people they hated.

While still working retail I was told there's an online movement from millennials and gen Z to move back to cash for varying reasons. I guess it feels more like you're in control. My problem is if I have cash... I spend it.

Nudity *can* do this, but it doesn't inherently do so. It takes work from everyone involved and is often a delicate type of respect, and if not wholly bought into by all parties can, like any human interaction, lead to disappointment. We not only need words. We need vigilance.

Yup. As usual. Words. Not actions.

I don't believe in being secretive. Chizmar has also done extensive work covering up his background.. But I'm not alone on this. Many people tried to get Deschenes to remove Chizmar from his podcast when his awfulness came to light. I'm tired of words and not actions. Do what you will.

I also know that anyone that values the things you state to value should take anyone speaking out against problematic people seriously and open dialogues to understand why. I have too much experience with people who say they stand for something... Then don't when pushed. I hoped you aren't that.

I know quite a bit about you. I know that you tirelessly work for inclusivity, fight for marginalized voices and have a strong ethic. Which is WHY I brought it to you. You've also commented on some of my posts. I explained to you originally that I had first hand experience.

It's not just me. It's verifiable by a number of people. I have FIRST HAND experience with this person... And I'm known by many to be reliable and truthful. You can talk to Dan and Gabby if you like.

What's the motivation of promoting a known racist and trans/homophobic film maker? You could answer your own question here.

The creepy men I am/was listening to the now latest podcast episode of the Naturist Living Show with Stéphane Dechène, where he talks extensively with the new podcast editor Jessica. In case you missed it, Samantha ...

Sharing this because it says something that needs saying. Women in naturist spaces deserve respect, not creepy attention. 🌿

I don't care how popular a creator's works are... If you proclaim to stand up for things that said creator has spoken against, you need to dump your support for those works.

He also personally attacked me on Twitter for my penis size while I was still there. Just not a good guy.

Chizmar is racist, transphobic and homophobic. Please don't platform him..

I'm a sucker for Kitsch

This is very cool

Let them soak on their self-delusion

A concerning thing I've seen thrown around on this topic is people calling Dan and Gabby out for 'Doxxing'. These people clearly have no idea what doxxing really is. What it is NOT is discovering and revealing information that is readily available on the net. That's just research.

Also Hiking Without a Stitch. It's extremely good, if new and young yet

I am coated in magnets because I am transgender. Every metaphorical bullet society fires at anyone who dares to exist differently sticks to me. I am dangerous—not to you, but because I have survived horrors most cannot even name, because I notice, because I think, because I exist. 1/3

I apologize for picking on INF and this post, but it was the first I came across that really gave me an example of the things I've been trying to get across lately

The language here "free from judgement and unrealistic expectations" should be qualified with a "MAY" or "CAN POTENTIALLY", or something similar. Naturism can be a fantastic step towards the goal being discussed here, but unreasonable guarantee messaging can lead to disillusionment.

I wrote about recent events regarding AANR and NNN on my website. It links to Dan's substack and encourages us all to be active in contacting AANR about this huge abuse of trust.

A Formal Complaint to AANR This is a complaint about the words, the behavior and actions of Paul Wayne Reeves. Also known as Frank Stone, host of the Naked, Nudists and Naturist Podcast.

I suggest ANYONE that is a staunch supporter of safe and accountable naturism go to the following link, download the PDF that appears halfway down and read it in full. The allegations and evidence are appalling. AANR needs to dump their 'official' podcast NOW.

When you become more concerned with power, influence, numbers and ego more than accountability, empathy, compassion and inclusion... you've lost the battle. As much as some very good people are still desperately trying to fight that battle, the leadership of AANR has failed.
