Florida naturist communities face challenges after hurricanes

In a recent online article, a palliative care nurse was asked, “What is the one regret old people always have?” As this nurse typically cared for patients who were terminal or in hospice, she had enough conversations with those nearing the end of life and wanted to share their thoughts to venture a point of view: The number one regret (well, there are really two) are not spending more time with the people that really mattered to them, and not living their life for themselves (aka doing what others expected of them or what society dictated they should be doing with their lives). Her conclusion: “Live your life the way you want.” I couldn’t agree more. Read the original article at www(dot)planetnude(dot)co This is a public episode.

Are elbows indecent? Minnesota’s bizarre legal argument

The Minnesota Supreme Court is currently deliberating a case that could potentially redefine the boundaries of indecent exposure, at least in the state. At the center of the debate is Eloisa Rubi Plancarte, who was convicted after walking through a gas station parking lot with her breasts uncovered. While the case has sparked discussions on gender equality, the state’s attorney introduced an even more perplexing argument. He suggested that under the current law, even exposing an elbow could theoretically violate Minnesota’s indecent exposure statute. When Associate Justice Karl Procaccini asked if the statute could apply to any body part, Jim Haase, the attorney representing the state, responded, “I would say it’s conceivable.” Read the original article at www(dot)planetnude(dot)co This is a public episode.

TNSF announces retirement of longtime leader Nicky Hoffman

After nearly 40 years of leadership at the helm of The Naturist Society Foundation (TNSF), Nicky Hoffman, Publisher and Managing Editor of N magazine, has announced her retirement at the end of 2024. The organization’s graphic designer, Jan Grable, retired earlier on September 30, 2024, though she will return as needed for training. The news, first shared by TNSF President Cynthia Holbach in the Southern California Naturist Association (SCNA) newsletter, was subsequently confirmed in an official letter to TNSF members. Hoffman’s retirement marks the end of an era for TNSF, one of the most influential organizations in the American naturist movement, as it prepares for a new chapter under the direction of the board and newly appointed magazine editor Colleen Leary.

Leadership dispute clouds Mexican Nudist Federation ahead of INF Congress

Since its founding in 2011, the Federación Nudista de México (FNM) has played a key role in expanding Mexico’s naturist movement and gaining global recognition. Shortly after, the FNM joined the International Naturist Federation-Fédération Naturiste Internationale (INF-FNI), hosting events that brought international attention to Mexican naturism. However, as the INF-FNI World Congress in Zipolite approaches, internal tensions have emerged. A leadership dispute involving FNM President Gustavo de la Garza and Secretary Luis Márquez, with allegations of illegal term extensions, has divided the federation, raising concerns about governance and transparency just weeks before the global naturist community arrives.

World Naked Bike Ride proceeds in Portland with concerns over new organizers

The traditional World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) in Portland was officially canceled earlier this summer due to planning delays and volunteer burnout, leaving many disappointed. However, a new group of organizers has stepped up to ensure the event continues, scheduling a ride for this Saturday, September 21. In keeping with the traditional focus of the WNBR, this year’s event will once again serve as a protest against fossil fuel dependency, with a special focus on Zenith Energy and its role in Portland’s fossil fuel infrastructure.

Olive Dell Ranch: Making sense of the senseless

Three weeks ago, Olive Dell Ranch was thrust into an unimaginable tragedy when long-time residents Stephanie and Daniel Menard disappeared, setting off a community-wide search that ended in heartbreak. The discovery of their deaths—and the devastating realization that someone from within their own community was responsible—sent shockwaves through the close-knit group. Amid a national media flurry sensationalizing the events, what was once a haven for connection and freedom has been rocked by senseless violence, leaving residents to grieve the loss of cherished members who had long been a fixture of daily life at Olive Dell. As the community comes together to mourn, this tragedy has also laid bare deeper tensions that have been festering for months. Recent management changes, legal disputes, and ongoing conflicts between members and owners had already strained relationships, and now, under the glare of the media spotlight, those divisions feel more exposed than ever. For some, this devastating event has only deepened the fractures, making unity harder to find. Yet among the grief and uncertainty, many residents are holding on to each other, seeking solace in shared memories and the desire to preserve the spirit of community that brought them to Olive Dell Ranch in the first place. As they remember the Menards, Olive Dell is forced to confront both the wounds of this tragedy and the tensions that have resurfaced, with the path forward still uncertain.

Naked generosity: Giving the shirt off your back

In a world divided by ideology and economic inequality, simple acts of kindness often go unnoticed, but that's the essence of true altruism—it’s about making an impact, not seeking recognition. As advocates of body freedom, we embrace minimalism, shedding the unnecessary in both fabric and pretense. This simplicity helps us see the needs of others clearly. If you’ve ever seen (or been) a nudist reaching to put on a shirt because they’re cold, you may start to understand how essential these items are for those facing daily uncertainty. That is why this year, the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) is leading the charge with their Nudists Give Clothing drive, presenting an understated yet profound opportunity for our community to quietly challenge preconceptions and make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.
