I'm not done with masks. While I love being nude, certainly there are times when clothing is a must. (Cold weather, rocky walkways, etc) Yet for me, masks never felt like a burden because I actually prefer the anonymity. I like that surveillance videocams have to take an extra steps to identify me. Just some thoughts... #nakeisasnakeddoes #nudeman #bisexualliving #bisexual #queer #queerart #maskforlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CnDCTuoNQke/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Things should be looking up in 2023.... All the worries about my body, my weight, physical limits showing up, my ability to live my most free life are just that: worries. We can live in our anxieties or push past them with a thoughtful plan and confidence that things will always work out if we move with respect and authenticity in this world. #NakeIsAsNakedDoes #nudeman #NakedIsFreedom #NudeIsntLewd #bisexualLiving #QueerArtist (at Kosciuszko Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm5RMAlInxq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Three moments: a short history of bodies. From 10,000 b.c. wall carvings to a future so wired. Desire is depicted, across the ages. Desire, and also the macabre. The two are linked ... in their persistence and in the drive to witness, to experience, to live! (Even as we dis-/re-integrate Happy new year, every body.

Once tumblr started hiding my art, I went though and appealed their decision... Now I see this on a review of my stream... Welcome back, me!

I used to say I was trying to promote body confidence. But I’ve realised that I am not. I am trying to promote SELF confidence. I am trying to promote the idea that we are sooo much more than just our bodies. We are our minds, souls and personalities and that is what makes us us. Yes our bodies can be capable of amazing strength, beauty and resiliance. But that is not what makes us good friends, partners or parents. We are so much more than our flesh and blood and we should celebrate each other for what’s within. When I am loved, I want to be loved for who I am inside, not for what my outer shell looks like. 🧡 https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ou1U1BLGU/

In the midst of a heat wave, the nudist oasis might only be found under the blazing sun: inhospitable perhaps, but sometimes solitude is the path towards freedom and finding personal liberation. . . . . #nudist #bisexual #bikepath #bikeAsTripod #leaningman #solitude #heatwave #oasis #inthesun #nakedman #nudeart #bodypositive #bodyfreedom #liberation (at Maspeth, Queens) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0VCraWnI_A/?igshid=msidfh0zqaud

the sun & my body it’s a relationship that demands no excesses, yet the warmth, the gentle kiss of the sun’s rays, connects me to the cosmos, oddly grounds me in my urban oasis. . not gonna lie, it’s often the spark of arousal that gets set when i’m facing the sun, fully, frontally. . my neighbors have access, but don’t hardly ever come up to visit, so it is an oasis i’ve been able to curate. . #nakedman #isolated #bisexual #exhibitionist #nudeimpublic #nakedrooftop (at Somewhere In Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByvPEmRnYuI/?igshid=6wr0us5b881l

Don’t forget SEX... Religions want control: over your body, over your desire, over your spirit (if they only could), over the internet?!?  you better believe if they could, they would.

oh.. and bisexuals.. let’s not forget the bisexuals.

Tumblr Backup!

I’ll be removing almost everything here but I’d like to try and keep my page around for SFW cosplay photosets and such.

I’m sure many of you have pics, gifs, text posts, and videos you’d like to save before purging or moving to a new platform (from your blog or someone else’s!) I thought I’d make an informative post about bbolli’s tumblr backup utility.

1. Download the zip from GitHub

2. Download the latest version of Python 2.6 or 2.7 based on your OS

3. Install Python

4. Extract the zip from step 1. (Note: If you don’t extract it to your downloads folder the path to the file will be different than in the image!)

5a. On Windows open a Command Prompt window and type the following:

Downloads\tumblr-utils-master\tumblr_backup.py YourBlogName

A folder with the name of the blog will be created in the tumblr-utils-master folder.

5b. On Mac OS open a Terminal window and type the following:

sudo cp Downloads/tumblr-utils-master/tumblr_backup.py /usr/local/bin

cd Desktop

tumblr_backup.py YourBlogName

A folder with the name of the blog will be created on your Desktop.

6. In the newly created folder you can browse through the media in the folders, or open index.html to view it in your browser. The utility will not save your blog’s custom CSS or theme. Read the tumblr_backup.md file for additional info on the utility.

Please reblog this so more people know about it. I’m shadowbanned so it won’t be much use unless you help me get it out there!

stepping out, like coming out, is a process. assessing the weather, the temperatures, the climates both social and physical. taking a risk in being seen, in exposing one’s self ...transparently ( except on FB & Insta). (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn)

morning graphic, without clothes. that is, the graphic is as clothes free as me. errrrr as am i. #urban #nakedness #subway #graphic #nakedplanet #nudeart is #InstaObscuro needed?!? (at New York, New York)

[gymgnostic]

Have I an aura of art?! Framing the body ‘gainst a wall, in a hall; my “head to toe” esthetic intends to take away the stigma of the naked body, to remove focus from one body part or another. . Still, intended focus is not predictive of how I’m received. (It’s also not representative of how I feel wholly naked.) I want to be received as a whole person. (Alas, this dark urge i have to present myself nakedly has its limits in social spaces. this is Insta, ergo, obscuro) . So, even if I won’t be received as intended, I still stand on my rights to present. . . #artisticAura #queerart #nudeart #nudephotopraphy #bisexual #intentions #options #presentation #InstaObscuro #nude #nudepose

This image, without the overlay, violates fb guidelines. Meanwhile, naked bi+ bodies are always vulnerable.
