Weekly Wrap: Jun 8
New nudist history, proving Pride, all new podcasts and all new Strips, this week on Planet Nude
Hello, and here’s an all-new Weekly Wrap. Welcome.
This week we took a look back in history and rediscovered some early writing on the subject of nudism and clothes. We also talked about Pride and community. And we’re still raising money for women afflicted with Obstetric Fistula. We’ve raised 1/2 of the cost of one life-changing surgery!
Help us raise the rest with a small donation!
You can catch up on the whole week, plus enjoy a new comic on Strips, below.
This week on Planet Nude 🪐
Early nudism uncovered
Exploring the early roots of American nudism, this article delves into William Calhoun Walker’s pioneering efforts with 'Common Sense Clubs' and his 1917 camp. It challenges the commonly accepted origins of the modern nudist movement, highlighting overlooked historical figures and early nudist practices predating Kurt Barthel’s American League for Physical Culture (ALPC).
An essay celebrating nudity from 1919:
Proving Pride's point
Timothy celebrates Pride Month in West Hollywood, highlighting supportive messages from British Naturism and AANR. Despite receiving backlash from some in the nudist community, Timothy emphasizes the importance of Pride and solidarity, reaffirming that the LGBTQ community has significantly contributed to nudism and should be embraced without shame or judgment.
