March open forum
Was I the last person to download the substack app?
I finally got around to downloading the substack app on my smartphone. You all have it, right? The app makes things a lot easier for me — as a reader of other newsletters and as host of this one.
Sure, I receive newsletter posts in my email inbox, but I was logging in on my laptop to comment or to “like” comments posted in this forum.
I subscribe to four (or is it five?) newsletters on substack, but I don’t have a lot of free time to visit them on my laptop, what with work and other stuff. Of course I receive them in my email inbox like you do, but if I want to comment on posts, I need quick access. I can read them on the app and comment there, too . . .
WAIT! You’re all way ahead of me, right? You’ve all downloaded the app, yes?
Good riddance, February
February is the cruelest month, I think. It certainly was cruel in my part of the world this year, with deaths of neighbours, layoffs at my newspaper and, of course, the weather: Winter is showing no sign of letting up here. In fact, it seems to be doubling down with unseasonably low temperatures on some days and snow, lots of it.
It’s at this time of the year we grow so weary in the Great White North, which in part is to blame for my less-than-usual monthly output in this forum. Thankfully, Fred Heiser shared some of his great writing with us from California, which has had some weird winter weather this year, too. Fred also shared this video with me:
The Naturism Community is blessed with many fine writers. You read them in the comments to the posts here: some of their responses are articles unto themselves. So, indeed, we have many writers here, which was one of the primary goals for this setting.
That said, if you would like to write some articles for The Naturism Community, give me a heads up in the comment section here and I’ll contact you by email.
Wide open
As always, the monthly open forums are designed to give readers the chance to talk about all things connected to naturism/nudism. I usually give readers a topic or two to consider for the open forums, but this month I leave it wide open.
So, take it away, folks . . .
And a warm welcome to all the newbies who signed up in February!
Cheers
Jillian
I certainly don't have the Substack app. I try to keep my phone as clean of apps as possible. Whatever I'm doing, it can wait until I get to my PC.
Thought you might like to check this out.

The video as a whole isn’t naturist-focused (though he makes some points relevant to us) but he meets some interesting people at the five-minute mark.
