I hit 60 a few weeks ago, and it made me think about how my body has changed over the years. Not always for the best. But it has managed to carry me to where I am, and hopefully for another 25 years or so.

I wrote a short blog post about self appreciation: wp.me/pgKalA-cp

We need more #curling on TV. It's only ever shown at the Winter Olympics but it is, arguably, better than snooker. It deserves much more coverage.

I also think there is scope for a hybrid snooker-curling sport played on an ice rink. Ice hockey goal nets as pockets and 23 curling stones as balls

Really knowing our place in nature: a humanist’s view This article explores the concepts of risk, peril, and awe within biophilic design, highlighting their psychological significance. I argue that these feelings reveal truths about our existence and …

My thoughts about humanity's place in nature from a #humanist, #naturist perspective. Others may disagree.

When #nudity and pleasure are thought of together, most people think about sex. But there is another naked pleasure that no-one bats an eyelid about: a shower or bath taken purely for relaxation. Unless you are very weird, it is done completely nude. An immersive, #biophilic activity wp.me/pgKalA-eN

The philosophies of #Humanism and #naturism are complementary, in my view. Happy Darwin Day to those that celebrate

I have high BP (managed by medication) and I carried out an experiment on myself last year. I monitored my BP daily for a week (I usually do it weekly) and compared clothed days with naturist days. There was a small drop following naked days, but prob not statistically significant. More data needed

Complete immersion in the environment is why naturism is the ultimate biophilic experience. My aim is to bring #biophilicdesign, horticulture and the philosophy of #naturism together to create environments that recognise and honour the human body as a natural component of its habitat wp.me/PgKalA-dZ

Wellness rooms in the workplace: they don’t always work, but they could Modern office buildings often feature wellness rooms intended for employees to decompress, yet these spaces are frequently underutilised due to poor design, discomfort, and stigma. Effective wellne…

Wellness rooms are a common addition to many office buildings, but do they work? Corporate culture, good design and genuine privacy are vital if they are to be really useful. They should allow people to decompress and relax and recover as needed by the individual user of the space.

A warm shower is more than a utilitarian act of hygiene, it is a truly restorative, biophilic experience that can stimulate all of the senses. The experience can be enhanced with some additional design elements.

How dare the Coward in the White House undermine the bravery and sacrifice of our British troops.

Reform and Nigel Farage should be ashamed to associate themselves with him.

Do you ever catch a glance of yourself in the mirror and think negatively about what you see? It's a natural reaction, but if you use a mirror purposefully for some functional appreciation, you might feel better - more if you do it #naked

I don't think that Denmark has to give Greenland to Trump, just say that they have. He won't know the difference.

My aletheic philosophy Naturism enhances biophilia, promoting a deep connection with nature through the experience of nudity. This union fosters wellbeing, reducing stress and boosting mood while increasing mindful aware…

Complete immersion in the environment is the ultimate expression of #biophilia and our natural need to connect with nature. #naturism #nakedwellness aletheicenvironments.com/my-aletheic-...

‘Make America Go Away’: spoof Maga caps soar in popularity amid Greenland crisis Red caps are becoming a symbol of protest in Denmark as Donald Trump ratchets up the pressure on Greenland Red baseball caps spoofing Donald Trump’s Maga hats have become a symbol of Danish and Greenlandic defiance against the US president’s threat to seize the frozen territory. The caps reading “Make America Go Away” – parodying Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan – have gained popularity, along with several variants on social media and at public protests, including a weekend demonstration held in freezing weather in Copenhagen.

‘Make America Go Away’: spoof Maga caps soar in popularity amid Greenland crisis

I write my web site, and post on Bluesky anonymously. There are good reasons for that, as this post explains. However, there may be reasons for revealing my identity as well. For the time being, my #naturist interests may be a barrier to work, but who knows about the future?

Safe vulnerability The post explores the idea of aletheia, or truth revealing, through vulnerability in nature. It emphasizes the liberating yet challenging experience of being exposed in nature whilst also being saf…

The heightened sense of vulnerability you get when #naked can be enlightening and thought-provoking, maybe even a bit thrilling (like getting on a roller coaster for the first time). Sometimes, fear of exposure and judgement can override the positive sense of self knowledge #naturism

A significant birthday coming up, so a time to reflect. I might not have looked after myself as well as I should, but this body has got me to where I am now. Just hope it can carry me for a bit longer. Time to take more care, I think

I don't know about that. As someone about to hit 60, I find it easier than ever to be a naturist. Much less fear of judgement as who wants to gawp at an old bloke like me? I'm left in peace and have no need to be worried about what people think. I'm very much at the 'fuck it' stage of my life.

Humans have a primeval urge to be drawn to flames. It could be videos, or the flame effects on electric fires, or our desire to light candles when a light bulb is far more efficient. Used safely, flames add more than just light and heat - they create an atmosphere of cosy security and calm

Thank you
