Hey there, it's me in 2026. I found this post in the back storage room of the blog* and thought I'd post it today because of the... everything. This was written back before 2016 when we used to get to have fun and not have to learn of 6 horrific developments before the coffee's even done.
Sorry for the jenky-ass formatting. Blame me of yore who was hopped up on good brain chemicals from feeling relatively sure of the goodness and working intelligence of our fellow Americans.
Oh, how we were so lucky and didn't even know it!
Here's to getting back to that place.
*Blog: A blog is an informational website consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries also known as posts. Usage: "That chick still has a blog???? Seriously? Has heard of Substack?"

So
I was looking up public domain nudie art for you, dear reader,
and I stumbled upon images of Jeju Loveland. Jeju Loveland is a South
Korean "love theme park."
A love theme park, according to the Loveland web site,"is a place where love oriented art and eroticism meet." From what I can tell, it's a sculpture garden with lots of naked statues going far beyond typical statue mode of standing around looking dignified.
The park, located on Jeju Island, a popular Korean honeymoon destination, celebrates the sexual, with over 140 sculptures getting it on in all sorts of positions.
In a society where sexuality is relatively repressed (i.e. teens don't walk around holding hands, living together is frowned upon, etc...), Loveland offers newlyweds and others a chance to walk among the racy statues and lose some of their inhibitions (although it's certainly possible that, after a long look at the 33 ft phallus sculpture, some might leave with even more inhibitions.)
According to Wikipedia, that nasty little encyclopedia:
After the Korean War,
the island became a popular honeymoon destination for Korean couples,
due to the island's warm climate. Many of the couples had wed because of
arranged marriages, and the island also became known for being a center
of sex education. According to an article in Germany's Der Spiegel magazine, in the late 1980s journalist and travel writer Simon Winchester
reported that some hotel employees on the island performed as
"professional icebreakers." In the evenings, the hotel would offer an
entertainment program featuring erotic elements, to help newlyweds
relax.
In 2002, graduates of Seoul's Hongik University began creating sculptures for the park, which opened on November 16, 2004.
Loveland
also has sex education films, a exhibit hall of sex toys including a
glass case chock full o' vibrators, a hands-on "masturbation cycle"
exhibit, and a lovely penis garden ("Oh, look, honey, the penises are
out for spring!)
There (WAS) an English-language version of the web site which contains the intriguing information that "a recreation and play area is available for minors while adults enjoy the park."("Kids, you two stay here at the playground. Mom and dad are going to look at giant wieners for an hour or two.")
But I much more highly recommend the Korean version of the site (NO LONGER THERE) if only for the fact that the first page features the Mickey and Minnie
of Love Land, Balkkenuni, a plump little cartoon phallus and his
labial-looking friend Ssaekkeuni. Ssaekkeuni is wearing a large hat.
Perhaps she is a bit modest. Meanwhile, kids across Korea with the
now-unfortunate names of Bulkkeuni and Ssaekkeuni are completely
mortified.
Visitors
can also enjoy sitting on penis benches, beholding Nipple Mountain and
getting their fill of statues doin' it, including this stone couple (left), who judging by the position of their genitals, have most likely misinterpreted a diagram in their Kama Sutra
.

Me again in 2026: I just learned today that a certain broken and out of control president wants to cut Medicare to fund a war that was started for still nebulous reasons. If we are not spending out military budget solely on these things below--and they shoot ONLY fake cum, or perhaps cotton candy--count me the fuck out.
I urge you to search Jeju Loveland images. And fwiw, i miss you!
