On 6 November 2024, I edited this post to say the following: "It looks like the United States will be officially running under Project 2025 within the next few months. Naturism is not pornography but Project 2025 will classify it as such; it will be illegal to depict or discuss it on US-based websites, including this one, by this time next year."
Clearly this has not come to pass. There have been definite indications that the US is trending this way, as are other places, but a prediction without a timeframe isn't much of a prediction (since you can always say "no it just hasn't happened yet"), and within the time limit I specified, my prediction was wrong.
Things you need to know about me:
(1) I'm a naturist, and I will from time to time reblog images of nonsexual nudity if I feel like they make an important point. As of 6 May 2025 I am no longer reblogging multiple nude photos every day, as my goal was to desexualize nudity through repeated exposure and it's become clear that's not working. If you want to complain about this, find one of the thousands of porn bloggers I've had to block for ignoring my stated boundaries and go shout at them. Nude images will always be tagged #nude photo or #nude art, so those are the tags to filter if you don't want to see them.
(2) I don't give money to random strangers on the internet, and I don't pass on their requests to anyone else, ever, for any reason. Distinguishing genuine actors from predators is more work than I have the spoons for, and I'm not going to be party to some scammer stealing people's money. If you tag me or message me with requests for money, or reblog or comment on my posts with requests for money, I will block you and report you for spam. No exceptions.
(3) Occasionally I make art and put it on tumblr; that will be under the tag #nochd original. Likes are nice, reblogs are better.
(4) If you are a QAnon believer, a climate change denialist, an anti-vaxxer, a transphobe, or a Trumpist, don't waste your time following me; I will just block you. There was a time when I followed up internet arguments to the bitter end, but I don't do that any more, because lying awake all night thinking up replies that would force people to listen was harming my mental health.
(5) I vote Left, but I don't believe in violent revolution. Nor do I believe that the solution to any of the wars and conflicts troubling the world is for the side that isn't aligned with the US to murder the side that is (any more than vice versa). Nor do I believe, as distressingly many Leftists apparently do, that being spiteful to one's opponents on social media counts as praxis. Don't expect me to cheer on any of these ideas.
