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.

Whoa. This is extremely upsetting.
Gabby has described a very serious issue with @aanr-social.bsky.social, and their incredible mishandling of an issue. The integrity and values of the org are now called into question, thanks to their association with (and backing of) the NNN pocast.

Everyone who is calls themself a #naturist or #nudist should read this fantastic piece by Dustin Cox. I have never read an essay that more comprehensively or effectively deals with this issue. HUGE kudos to Dustin at @planetnude.co for this magnificent piece!

Work Naked Day
Work Naked Day
February 6, 2026
Work Naked Day, the first Friday in February, was started by Lisa Kanarek in 2010 as a way to celebrate the freedom to work from home. At that a time it was very unusual. Kanarek wrote a book extolling the value of working from home. Including tips on how to set up and effectively work in a home office. Work from home and home offices are now much more common. particularly after the pandemic of 2020-2022 when remote work skyrocketed. Kanarek says work naked means different things for different people.
For naturists and anyone exploring naturism Work Naked Day is an opportunity to work in their most natural state of being. Some say working naked increases productivity.

Lots of discussion of the NNN podcast today, with @1naturistlife.bsky.social blogging about NNN's redemption and @greyfriarsisle.bsky.social liveblogging a recent episode. I wrote about NNN & #naturism a long time ago but never published it. Here's the article.

Aw shucks, I didn't expect so much support when I posted about my progress on my latest novel! Thank you all who reached out. It's powerful incentive to keep going. The bluesky #amwriting community is a really nice place!

Okay, I'm not one to post here just to blow my own horn. But I've been ramping up my writing time in the last little while, and I have to say, this new novel... it's really coming together. It's *working*. And that's a great feeling! I am trying very hard to get it out this year. #amwriting

I just sat down to do some writing. Unfortunately I stopped to look at reddit, and watched a gang of fascist thugs execute an unarmed civilian in the streets in Minnesota.
I'm not even in that country, but I don't know how much more of this I can take.

I am 100% with Cee Jay here. Self-serving platitudes do nothing. Another one is "naturists are nice people". Simply not true anymore than any other group. Complimenting ourselves doesn't have the effect many naturists seem to think it does.
One of our well-known influencers posted that naturism heals body shame and changes how you see your body within minutes.
Lifelong nudist here. It hasn’t for me. Has it made it better? In ways. At times.
If you’re not reflected in pie-in-the-sky posts, please, please know you’re not alone.

Moments like this remind us why naturism isn’t about nudity. It’s about relationship. A relationship with your body. A relationship with the natural world.
A relationship with stillness and being unguarded.
This is what freedom feels like to us.

The Naturist Vibe's "Diddy Do It?" series is a really interesting choice. There's nothing naturist about the subject matter, but it provides great context for the concept of ethical naturism. Great job both Dan and Gabi! It's always a pleasure to find a new TNV episode in my podcast feed.
