I want to date someone smart, good at conversation, badass in some way, and skilled. If you aren't any of the specific things I'm into, but you think you are smart etc the things I just listed I might give you a shot.

I value DIY, punk culture, community, reading zines, friends I can talk to, and clear communication.

I try really hard to stay positive and make sure I do my part to make things inclusive and help folks feel good about themselves.

I'm looking for someone my age or older basically- someone mature and responsible. I'm both, and totally capable of being silly too, but yea. I'm just not 20, not in college, etc. so I have a lot less in common with those folks, and I don't like the power dynamic of one person being more mature/responsible in a big way than the other. I've got a lot of my life worked out, I hope you do too. I don't want to date a minion or an intern. I'll make space in my busy life for someone who is worth it to me.

I hitchhiked across the country in 2011, which was my first time going west of the Mississippi.

I like the way humans smell.

I work part time as a stagehand and I'm trying to work a couple of hustles too- like babysitting and screenprinting etc.
I recently landed a full time job as a carpenter's apprentice and I LOVE IT.

I am polyamorous. I really want to find an anarchist that wants to date me and that I want to date. I am not interested in random sex, although cuddling and making out with less commitment is definitely fun. I don't have a primary partner right now, and I'm not sure how I feel about structured relationships. I hate feeling owned.

I live at the Wingnut Anarchist Collective in Richmond. I spend most of my time working with the collective and in our neighborhood, on explicitly anarchist projects. I don't get to travel much because of my responsibilities here. I'm fine with long distance stuff and boos in other locations, I just can't commit to but so many visits to other places.
I'm going to Puerto Rico in January to visit anarchist friends there.

I care a lot about social justice issues (ie racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, speciesism etc.) and so many of the things I choose to do revolve around those issues.

I am very outspoken.

I am sex positive.

I am into body mods like tattoos and piercings, but not super extreme stuff.

I'm really not stoked on the gender binary stuff. I am gender queer. I like thinking about passing (the book Nobody Passes is super good, my ex boo got me to read it). I prefer the pronoun "they". I'm pretty butch though. And attracted to butch women.

My profile says I'm bisexual, but only because they don't have an option for pansexual. Pansexual is different than bisexual because BI means two. That is an attraction to two genders, male and female. But there are more than two genders in the world, and i don't limit myself to just those two. (I jacked this explanation from someone elses profile). My gender of preference is anarchist...heh.

I have recently had a revelation of sorts, and I think I might be much closer to a lesbian on the sexuality spectrum. This is something I'm going to be exploring, but I want to be upfront with women I date or get involved with. Sexuality is complicated. Fuck if I know.

I want to work on improving my communication, to make me a better partner, friend, and activist.

I'm a morning person, more often than not I wake up cheerful. I don't like being around people who sleep in super late all the time or play video games etc. I love to be productive, and want to be surrounded with productive people. I reaaallly enjoy waking up early, making coffee and fancy breakfast, and reading while eating with a boo. I also really like waking up early and blasting some Mischief Brew and cleaning the house or starting a project.

I value responsibility, maturity, communication, respect and compassion in others.
I'm into folk punk, Dumpster Diving, trash picking, New Orleans, freight trains, overalls, DIY ,gardening, crafts, and zines.

I am anarchist, dirty, and vegan

I am renovating my house, filtering vegetable oil for my truck, dumpster diving, playing with my pitbulls, working as a nanny, working at a coffee shop, babysitting, doing food not bombs, helping organize the Richmond Zine Festival, riding my bike, general activism.

Playing flag football. Learning to bellydance.

Carpentry, home renovations, construction.

and DUH Cuddle Puddles and Hot Pants

and camoflauge and leopard print everything

how to smash the state and crush the cage. All the projects I want to do. Like...Build a brick oven, install a wood stove (done), build book shelves, garden, start an awesome compost pile, grow kombucha, composting toilet, solar panels, solar water heater, fence in front yard, finish my book, write more zines, set up a screen printing shop in my basement, write letters to prisoners, get more tattoos.

I sometimes go out to shows or parties, but a lot of times being around a bunch of intoxicated people either upsets or saddens me. I'd rather cook with friends or do something with friends.

Nowadays I am more likely to be doing copwatch and making fliers and reading at my house.

I don't have much in the way of spending money anyways, as most of my money goes towards the collective I live in and constructions and other radical projects. I like going out, and if someone wants to take me out I'll go, but I can not afford much.

I'm having a hard time getting close to people recently, I think due to some trauma of the past year, I am way scared to trust.

you think you can deal with intensity. Or if you want to help me on sweet projects. especially if you are vegan and sober or straightedge.

I am attracted to people of many genders, queers, trans folks, etc. I am less attracted to cis-gendered and straight men- I have a terrible habit of dating them, and the results are not so good.

If you are not an anarchist or a queer I am probably NOT interested.

Currently we are looking for a few good anarchists to potentially join our collective. But you have to be crazy, productive, consensual, communicative, accountable, and a whole lot more. Trust me, it is worth it though! We have something happening here.
