When it's too cold and rainy to go play outside, it's also fun to stay in and have fun with a friend Thanks again to @lezsmokehoney.bsky.social, @emmaleecakey.bsky.social, and Club Sapphire for hosting us

♫ I got sunshine on a cloudy day! When it's cold outside I got the month of May! ♫ The grey season is rough, but it's better when we're able to get through it together! Thanks again to @bridgethume.bsky.social

A plus side to the shorter days is that it makes sunrise more accessible; it's cold, but at least we don't have to be out at 5am to catch it Thanks again to Thrice, on this day in 2019

When the world feels overly cold, hard, and metallic, it's all the more important to stay warm, soft, and human Thanks again to @katnipkitten.bsky.social

When we eventually get past this moment in history there will be much that needs to be repaired, rebuilt, or replaced, but for now we can just make art in the wreckage Thanks again to @lezsmokehoney.bsky.social

Some stains are difficult if not impossible to clean, but that doesn't mean that we always need to avoid making the mess - maybe just do it outside to be safe, and avoid wearing clothing that can't be washed away Thanks again to @tr0uble-mkr.bsky.social

If you only go to the beach during the summer, you're missing out on some of its best seasons; and as an added benefit to the colder seasons, there are far fewer people out, so you can get nudies in places that would otherwise be too crowded Thanks again to belle.lakill on Instagram

We're getting ready to transition from autumn mode to winter mode, and I plan on continuing to do outings through the winter this year. Going out into the cold is more of a challenge, but it helps to bring some hot coffee or cocoa, and a warm robe to wear Thanks again to @prettyinprose.bsky.social

Even though it may feel like resistance is futile, it's important to remember that collectively the people still have more strength than those that would put us down, as long as we don't just fold when things gets difficult Thanks again to suga_coates on Instagram

They say the internet is forever, but with social media people tend to disappear over time, either intentionally or unintentionally, and while our photos may be beautiful, sometimes we have to let them just fade away into memories Thanks again to these folks, on this day in 2021

♫ I get knocked down But I get up again You're never gonna keep me down ♫ Thanks again to @pennybanx.bsky.social

I'm always surprised when I go outside in the afternoon and the sun is already setting; it's a good reminder to use the hours of daylight we have, but also that we don't have to be afraid to stay out after dark Thanks again to @madleighnluv.bsky.social

One of the best parts about trees in the autumn is that you can still climb up on them, but if you'd rather stay on the ground, they'll conveniently drop their leaves right down to you Thanks again to Liesl, on this day in 2018

I've heard that you shouldn't go chasing waterfalls, but in my experience, the chase is often worth it Thanks again to @aloekissed.bsky.social and to baddienoshoes for the location recommendations

Ivy is popular, easy to grow and looks cool, but if left unchecked will take over the entire forest and kill the trees So remember that being popular, cool and easy doesn't make something good or healthy, and needs the uncool and difficult to keep balance Thanks again to ken.model.sea on Instagram

What's legal isn't always right, and what's right isn't always legal; it's the 20s again, so it's time to get off of public social media and into a private speakeasy where we can feel safe Thanks again to @lezsmokehoney.bsky.social and @emmaleecakey.bsky.social, and Club Sapphire for hosting us

It might appear that you're trapped upside down in a bubble outside of your control, but that's just an optical illusion Thanks again to @lezsmokehoney.bsky.social, on this day last year

This past year has turned out even messier than I thought it might be, but thanks to everyone who voted yesterday and made a positive impact; eventually we'll get out of this mud and wash it off for good Thanks again to @kkinkylips.bsky.social and @tr0uble-mkr.bsky.social, on this day last year

A reminder that no matter how bad things get out there, there is still laughter and joy to be found the nightmares want you to think they're permanent so there's no point in resisting, but all nightmares are temporary, and can't last long past the dawn Thanks again to @bridgethume.bsky.social

This time of year is more difficult to get outside, but it's also a slower season for me in general, so I'm available for spontaneous adventures whenever the weather cooperates. I'm also always on the lookout for indoor spaces where we can go when it's too cold and rainy outside

I got my first digital camera when I was in college; it was cheap and low quality, but did let me experiment without immediately running out of film Almost 20 years later, it's fun to go back to my old stomping grounds and continue to experiment and play Thanks again to @katnipkitten.bsky.social

I love the forest whether we're looking at it from a distance, or we're right in the thick of it. What's your favorite PNW forest to visit, especially in the fall? Thanks again to @momolee.bsky.social

The post-Halloween half of autumn can look less fun than the first half, but there's still plenty of fun to be had if you go out looking for it Thanks again to carmenca206 and _mia_maravilla_ on Instagram, on this day in 2020

November is my birthday month, so it's a good time to send in donations! The Nudie Mag is entirely self-funded and not for sale, so donations help offset our expenses, help us be able to continue doing this for free, and allow us to travel and go to more locations My venmo is @nathaniel-jones-6

The clocks have changed again (wasn't there a unanimous vote not to do that anymore? Grumble...), marking the official start of the long dark season. The light will be in limited supply, but that just makes it all the more special when we can find it Thanks again to @lezsmokehoney.bsky.social

We're going from spooky season to dark & grey, which makes it harder to get outside. But nudie photo expeditions are a good excuse to do so, so let's make some plans! If it's too rainy, we can do cozy indoors ones instead It's also my birthday month! Yay! Thanks again to @tr0uble-mkr.bsky.social

I think this is the last of my Halloween posts - if you missed any, scroll back down through the day to see the whole special Hope you all have a fun, spooky, and safe holiday, and we'll be back tomorrow with more autumn fun! Thanks again to @madleighnluv.bsky.social

Most paranormal experiences actually have a perfectly ordinary explanation ... But what's the fun in that? Thanks again to ken.model.sea on Instagram

Sometimes you may be trapped in a tree for hundreds of years, but just hold tight, because eventually someone is going to accidentally say the right magic words to free you once again Thanks again to @lucyluciid.com

Halloween is a good day to bust out of your cage and let yourself go a bit more feral Thanks again to @herholydarkness.bsky.social and NEB Seattle for hosting

One of my favorite parts about dressing up in costume is taking it off again afterwards Thanks again to @pennybanx.bsky.social

When you try to get in touch with a spirit on Halloween, the spirit you find may be your own Thanks again to @elmariecat.bsky.social and @rubytgray.bsky.social

Buildings are temporary, but ghosts are forever Thanks again to the ghost of @lezsmokehoney.bsky.social

Happy Halloween! To celebrate, we took a STAB at this year's Ghostface photo trend, with real people in costume rather than AI (which is the real monster of the moment) Thanks again to @lezsmokehoney.bsky.social and @emmaleecakey.bsky.social as Ghostface, and to Club Sapphire for hosting us

Happy Halloween! To celebrate, I'll be making some bonus posts today of some of the spookiest photos from this fall that I haven't posted yet! So, turn out the lights, get yourself a treat, and enjoy The Nudie Mag Halloween Special! Bwa ha ha ha ha! Thanks again to @madleighnluv.bsky.social

Though the monsters may chase us through the forest and we may wind up naked and bloodied, we will survive to come back for the sequel Thanks again to emilysentrails on Instagram, on this day in 2020

We're done with Halloween outings for this year (though spooky vibes have a place all year round), and looking forward to dramatic grey clouds and atmosphere, and making a point of still doing things even when the SAD tells us not to Thanks again to lily_rose365 on Instagram, on this day in 2020

Most of the time our nudie expeditions are close to home, but it's nice to have the opportunity to venture out to new places, and I hope to do more trips this fall and winter. What scenery around the PNW do you think is worth the drive in the colder months? Thanks again to @aloekissed.bsky.social

Some trees are simple, and some are very complicated; shooting off into different trees in so many different directions it's hard to see which is which. But sometimes, what makes them the hardest to understand also makes them the easiest to climb Thanks again to ken.model.sea on Instagram

I was naked at the Portland naked bike ride, and dressed as a frog at the No Kings protest - what comes next? What else can we do, tangibly? Every single day ICE and the government cross another uncrossable line

Just realized that ten years ago last week we started working on our first issue! In the end it turned out to be more social media based rather than a printed zine, and I'm doing more photography and less writing than I had initially expected, but I'm very happy we still exist ten years later!

If you've been spending too much time in the cold, rain, and mud, it's nice to take a break from the outdoors and lay on silk sheets in luxury, but then go back outside so that you don't completely lose touch with the dirt Thanks again to @lezsmokehoney.bsky.social and Club Sapphire for hosting us

It's okay to be scared of the dark, but it only takes a little bit of light to make it disappear I do enjoy playing with lights in a dark room when we can't run around outside; if you want to experiment, let's make plans Thanks again to @emmaleecakey.bsky.social and to Club Sapphire for hosting

Part of the fun of Halloween is getting to take a break from who you are and pretend to be someone or something else for the day Who will you be this Halloween? Thanks again to @vixeyvex.bsky.social as Harley Quinn, on this day last year

We're quickly approaching the big grey, so take a moment to appreciate the vibrant colors where you can find them (and don't despair too much about the grey; we bring our own colors, and nudies are also fun in black and white) Thanks again to thedaytimewhiskey on Instagram, on this day in 2020

How did everyone hold up through the wind storm last night? My power only went out for a few seconds at a time; I see on the PSE outage map there are still over 100k people without power; if that's you, thanks for spending some of your battery to visit us! Thanks again to @katnipkitten.bsky.social

It's very windy and rainy out there tonight, and my power is flickering - stay safe out there if you must go outside, or if you can, just stay inside somewhere warm, have a nice cup of tea, and watch a show! Thanks again to carmenca206 on Instagram, on this day in 2020 at the Rendezvous Seattle
