It’s no secret that Viking culture is very much my culture. Whether my known Nordic roots or this inexplicable connection to Ösel (Saaremaa). I think a lack of significant family culture has contributed to this. But I need to be by the sea. And sometimes even the symbolism helps me feel connected

Ugh, nosebleed while in the sauna. Never had that happen before. Hopefully won’t occur again!
When in Kuressaare… come to the Pöide Brewery Grill House and try their excellent craft beer! The food is great here too

Hey, harmless fun… No cheating, post your lock screen. If you can be bothered

This is such a powerful interview. Very little about naturism but so much about feminism, modesty, empowerment and gender values. All men should learn from this, and I believe all women would be bolstered by it
Episode 33: Helen talks to Dr Victoria Bateman, the Cambridge economist and author known for using her own naked body in art and protest, about breaking free of the "cult of female modesty," the Brexit protest that made headlines in 2016, and why women's economic freedom… British Naturism Podcast
Next stop Kuressaare, (may it long continue to be) my happy place 😎 3rd trip there in 10 months!
Working towards more barefoot time gradually, with flexible thin-soled wide-toebox shoes is the way to go. And taking them off whenever opportunity allows. Pleased to see the cleaner at this hotel working barefoot this morning. bbc.com/news/article...
From flip flops to fisherman's sandals: Are your summer sandals killing your feet?
They may keep your feet cool but some styles could be doing more harm than good.

Denying sexuality helps nobody. But it has nothing to do with clothes-free living. The clothed body is far more sexualised. So relax and be free - it’s the natural way
Nudity is only sexual when people choose to make it sexual. A human body is simply a human body. The more we can separate nudity from shame the healthier we become. Not because everyone should be a nudist but because everyone deserves to feel at peace in their own skin. #AsOurCreatorIntended
Republican Senators are voting to confirm Trump’s lawyer to be AG when it just came out that Capital One shut down Trump’s accounts under suspicion of money laundering and Trump wants exemption from being investigated for tax fraud. THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS.
Great news. Common sense 1, prudish Karens 0
Figurine welcomed back to model village after local fury over removal
Fika is beautifully called “Kohvipaus” (literally “coffee pause” - who said this was the world’s hardest language?) in Estonian. Good way to kill a bit of time until the traditional music centre opens at midday
A morning around Viljandi Castle. Apparently that’s the main stage for the folk festival… quite the view! Definitely something I want to visit one day
Read one of the most compelling cases for how #naturism is one of the best choices you can make for physical and emotional health: the story of José, in his words and with his permission. nudescribe.com/2026/08/03/nat… ☀️🌊🇨🇴🇺🇸💚

Funny how many parallels someone from a completely different world’s story can have with your own
This is a great example of the kind of thing we like to read about naturism. It's real it's life nudescribe.com/2026/08/03/n...
Why isn’t there an option to turn off all video call suggestions in Duolingo? I never want to do that…
I wrote something. 4 pages of something. It’ll take a while to type up for my blog. But given my life at the moment, I think it matters.
You cannot realistically be racist unless you have experienced the whole world. And once you have, you cannot be racist *because* you have experienced the whole world. The same is true of any prejudice
I brought my notebook with me to write, but I keep just staring at the empty page…
