I drove by one of these ads yesterday here in LA and wished I could have taken a picture of it, but found it online to share. Here’s more info about the campaign that calls for purpose- and community-driven activism:

It’s a zombie series set in medieval Korea, with some Game of Thrones style political drama. I really liked it, definitely a different perspective on the zombie apocalypse.

Interesting article that makes a lot of good points about the nudist community. I hope that on this day of liberation and freedom (in America, at least), nudists everywhere are thinking about the freedoms we preach and how we practice them.

It sounds like hyperbole, but Comstock Laws have very literally been implemented to restrict these exact kinds of media. It all goes hand-in-hand-in-hand. A free society has room for all of these forms of expression.

"TNT!MEN was for several years the vanguard organization of not just gay nudism, but of naturist political action generally in Canada. From naked swimming to naked dancing to naked protesting, there’s barely an area of relevant Canadian law that it didn’t challenge—and change."

I hear you. If you haven’t yet, I hope you make sure to cast your ballot this week for AANR’s next President. Voting ends soon! Support for and outreach to the full breadth of the nudist community is very much on the ballot: The changes you’d like to see are part of Linda Weber’s vision for AANR.

4. Naturism and the Gay Body What freedom and liberation can a gay man find in naturism? What experiences do we all share, or is there anything we truly all share? I explore those questions and reflect on my experiences.

1. Scapegoating the Nude Beach My most popular article of all time, this piece covers the history of the nude beach and in America, and its connection to the LGBTQ communities who staked them out, and how many were lost to panic over queer people.

This is a hard subject to treat, but I think the article does a good job of recognizing the harsh reality that the sun does cause damage to the skin and that caution is warranted while also recognizing the positive health effects of sun exposure that have been ignored.

THE ATLANTIC: “Against Sunscreen Absolutism” “‘Completely avoiding sun exposure is not optimal for health’… UV rays cause skin cancer, but for some, too much shade can be just as harmful as too much sun.” Interesting piece on updated sun exposure recommendations in Australia.

Attended another Füde Experience event. This one was for Mother’s Day so several of the women brought their mothers who were nude for the first time socially. These events are always well-attended, no matter if they are women-centric or coed.

I’m saying goodbye to this beautiful private rooftop this week 🥲 It’s been a good ride, and it got me through the pandemic able to enjoy some nude time outdoors while the world was shut down and well beyond. Perhaps I’ll push myself to get out a bit more.
