There is no single correct way to practice #naturism. Some prefer solitude, others enjoy shared spaces. Some connect with it in #nature, others in private environments. Each approach is valid. What matters is that it is #respectful, grounded, & true to your own sense of comfort & #awareness. (4/31)
UPEI Board of of Governors, Faculty Association at odds over policy change
The university has been working on the new policy since law firm Rubin Thomlinson’s report concluded UPEI "failed to create a safe, respectful, and positive environment for working and learning for all members of its community" and described the campus as having "dire" problems.

@DavidM581 @laughing_kooky @BackyardNudie So I think to save the ANF from itself & to promote #Naturism we need to begin with a group of #naturists taking the initiative. The difference between success & failure is intention & consistency. We need to keep it #respectful, visible & not hidden behind a paywall or disguised with those dreadful mosaics, & it needs to be consistent. That’s what gradually shifts perception & builds something larger. Any thoughts?
Control the narrative. #SocialMedia should consistently show #naturism as ordinary, #respectful, & grounded in #wellbeing, #nature, #community. Avoid anything that can be misinterpreted, because public perception is fragile in this space. This is something I’ve been trying to do with my Mastodon account. (6/10)

Normalise through presence. Everyday, #respectful visibility matters more than grand statements. Beaches, walks, & social gatherings that are clearly non-sexual & well-conducted quietly reshape assumptions over time. If enough people see these events, it will make an impact. (5/10)

"Good, I'm glad he's dead!" is not really something we were prepared for from someone who is in a position of some importance and esteem [1].

But here we are. I don't know how long until he beats this one, but given his rate of descent, I'm thinking "not very".

[1] Very carefully: the *position* is important and esteemed. Not the current occupant.

Carney and Poilievre find rare common ground on the global stage
They may be bitter rivals in the House of Commons, but outside the chamber, recent events may have led to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and Prime Minister Mark Carney forging a bond.

At the same time, I’m not sure it’s entirely accurate to say that #Australian culture universally equates #nudity with perversion. While that perception certainly exists in some areas, there are also many examples of quiet #acceptance & #respectful practice. Public understanding tends to evolve gradually, often through consistent, positive exposure rather than rapid change. (2/3)

Teaching Writing in the Age of AI: Talking About Academic Integrity

This is the second post in a series about Teaching Writing in the Age of AI.
