Naturism is Emotional Education It teaches you to look without judging. To respect without invading. To understand boundaries without being told. It reconnects you with your body, not as something to fix, but as something to live in. That is health. That is education.

There is no better way to bring up a family. Normalising the body removes the scary parts of growing up. It's essential for healthy teens.

This is a line of argument for naked living that might attract the attention of Millennials and Gen Z – it's only Big Tech that wants you to believe that nude is lewd.

Clothes are expensive. Save money and become a #naturist. Fashions may change but naked is always in style! #NormalisingNaturism #naturism

It's cold. I know it's been cold here for a while, but it's started to seep into my bones I think. Not had a winter like this in the 5 years we've lived here (and obviously not in the 8 years in Hong Kong before that!)

To recap: the two major parties refuse to rein in the reign of a demented sociopathic king who daily is marching us into both World War III and the next Civil War simultaneously because a Black president once made fun of him and also the Special Boy wasn't given the Shiny Golden Medal he covets

so much about all of this is insane to me but it's especially insane that we're blowing up the transatlantic alliance at the whim of a dying man

Lunatic. No other word for it

Rebellions are built on hope

It's fairly apparent that Trump's health is failing, physically and mentally. A friend reckons he has mere months left. It seems he's trying to do as much damage as he can to the world in that time. But he has to go out in disgrace, with a whimper, or he'll be martyred. So bide your time, world...

This is the most beautiful celebration of truth and humanity. All would benefit from listening to it, but particularly the reluctant spouse or the youth struggling with body issues.

What are you looking for? Poignant reminder this morning that it’s not so much about inviting God into your heart as it is entering into the heart of God. In this week of prayer for Christian unity, may those churches far from God reassess their values 🙏

Shame is a falsehood forced upon us by those who mean us harm, either through intention or ignorance. It is not a natural emotion, and you can free yourself from it

We're not quite the coldest place in Europe, as Belarus and western Ukraine are getting the worst of the Siberian chill, but it's notable how much warmer much of Europe, even Finland and Estonia, is than Romania just now!

Obviously the orange clown is talking out of his ass as always, but this is seriously turning into end-of-days stuff. Someone needs to put an end to all this, and very, very soon

look how quickly this petty imperialist land grab has become about the Survival of Our Planet

Memories of Greenland from 2019, as I stand with the people there and in Denmark in resisting the offensive US desire for their country.

Even Blue loves the snow (in short doses)!

It might be -7°C (20F) out there, but it’s a glorious sunny kind of -7° that warms the soul, even in Bucharest

From a European perspective, we are currently witnessing the rise of authoritarianism in America. Donald Trump's recent actions in Minneapolis, Chicago and Los Angeles are not just another provocation from Washington. They follow a clear pattern: deployment of... open.substack.com/pub/bepa/p/a...

Naturism and family aren’t opposites... They’re allies. Naturism teaches something powerful from an early age: that bodies are normal, diverse, and worthy of respect. Shame has no place to grow. Naturism isn’t about what you remove. It’s about what you teach.

Trump must know he's wrong about everything, surely? But is just sticking with it to spite everyone. I find it easier to believe he's evil than that stupid.

Always special when a lovely friend you've not heard from in some time pops up with a birthday greeting

Undecided where to go with my YouTube channel this year. Taking a break just for now. But this was a recent one that turned out alright youtu.be/U3TpfGaLGGE

Mixed feelings. Filoni should be better suited to the role, but to give her credit, she's done a lot to make SW more present, even if not everything was a success (and Solo wasn't a bad movie really) bbc.com/news/article...

My heart breaks for anyone in America right now. Warmongering, state-funded terrorism, false religion, porno-prudish media corrupting minds, a criminally insane leader, and the collapse of a once-great nation. Praying for better days.

Apparently my favorite browser comes with a WordPress blog now. I published a first post. Nothing dramatic. kamilamurko.vivaldi.net/2026/01/15/t...

Slightly disappointed to note that, some 36 hours into my Crypto explorations, I am not yet a millionaire

The way men see women's bodies isn't hard-wired biology - it's learned. And if it can be learned, it can be unlearned. New blog post: 📖 blog.berrimansbareall.uk/p/what-i-lea... #BodyImage #MentalHealth #Parenting #GenderEquality #Objectification #malegaze #misogyny

ICE are a terrorist organisation funded by a criminal government promoting satanic principles. Should we be surprised? This has to stop now.

Reflections on the day, and what the start of any new year might represent

What the US "needs" is to get out of every single country, sort out their corrupt government, and restart from scratch with a working democracy. Not to keep invading other countries out of greed and arrogance. Just sad to see how bad it's gotten.

When it’s cold enough to come out of the 85°C (185F) sauna and go straight to playing in the snow!

Getting a good sweat on at Therme

Completely agree!

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

So yep, somehow this happened. Not the cake, that's a PicLumen creation. But the birthday. Eek. Hoping by the next one I might be somewhere more me. But at least I've got the day off work...

If you've not listened to this before (or even if you've listened a thousand times), experience this today. For me, as a birthday gift. And don't just listen, crank it up! Your neighbours will thank you.

It’s my birthday. It’s -4°C (25F). I have the day off work. So of course I’m wide awake at 5am…

Repost of an article I wrote some months ago, before my Substack was suspended. No less true just because I was censored! I've decades of experience working in schools, and we can do better for our young people!
