In the British Naturism magazine from Spring 2021 (issue BN 227) Mrs NT had an article published. Winter 2022 (issue BN 234) and it's my turn. It includes this photo of me, #naked snorkeling in Fuerteventura. 🤿 #naturism

Facebook and Instagram are being advised to end the ban on bare-chested women. #FreeTheNipple #ToplessEquality

"In a decision dated 17 January, the Oversight Board – a group of academics, politicians, and journalists who advise the company on its content-moderation policies – recommended that Meta change its adult nudity and sexual activity community standard “so that it is governed by clear criteria that respect international human rights standards”."

For my latest piece for CNN, I read the fascinating new book by Dan Levitt, "What's Gotten Into You," and asked him about how cataclysmic forces in the early universe helped forge the building blocks of all life. Destruction, whether in the form of colliding stars or meteor strikes, can sometimes be a uniquely creative process.

Answering this in public:

Their endgame is preserving capitalism, for perhaps three more generations, in the face of quite literally, the end of the world.

The planet is boiling; capitalism goes or we do. The capitalists have made their choice, but they are quite aware that seven billion lemmings are not going to vote the preservation of a wealthy ruling class ahead of pure survival.

Ergo, you must not be allowed to choose. Hence, fascism.

Is it nuts? Absolutely. But LOOK AT OUR RICH PPL?

Have we not built a culture that prioritizes growth and the accumulation of capital above all else? Have to not unleashed the free market on all aspects of society? have we not LEGALLY codified the pursuit of short term profit, over long term sustainability at every turn?

So, then; who is the crazy one? The rich people who are following their clearly stated intentions to their logical conclusions in the face of this crisis? Or folks who expected them to choose anything else?

@zleap @Fayedray Of course you are. If killing 20 6&7 year olds at Sandy Hook wouldn't force a change in the law, nothing will. Sorry to be pessimistic ☹️

This morning we share the anger and sadness as yet another mass shooting, in #MontereyPark, CA, rocks our nation. While the investigation is ongoing, our hearts and our solidarity are with those in the #AAPI community who are celebrating the Lunar New Year, who are grieving the loss of friends and neighbors.
