Hi! My name is Bailey and I am a 31 year-old cisgendered woman from Canada. Professionally I'm in the social work field, I work at a shelter for women and children who are fleeing violence and homelessness. Outside of my work I've been an activist since my early 20s and I love to read and write. Most of my writing consists of free form poetry but I have a history of writing political pieces too. I'm very left wing and I identify with Anarcha-Feminism, Libertarian Socialism and Anti-Fascism (yes, I am an Antifa thug lmao). The file-sharing movement, digital rights and Pirate politics are also a big part of my world-view.
In my spare time I also like to play video games, listen to music and spend time with my rabbit. I live with friends and we're animal lovers. Between us we have a rabbit, dog, 7 cats and 3 snails. My rabbit is named Panda and she's a sweet, friendly, sassy girl who spends most of her time outside of her playpen hanging out with me and playing with other furry creatures. So if you don't like animals, particularly rabbits, I am not the woman for you lol. When it comes to music I love punk, folk punk and metal. My favourite bands are Rammstein (also love Lindemann and Emigrate of course!), Anti-Flag, Bad Religion, System of a Down and any project by Pat Schneeweis. I spend a lot of time listening to music and getting lost in it. I also love anything science-related especially when it's to do with space and the universe in general. Star Trek is better than Star Wars. Pike is the best Starfleet Captain. Linux is the superior operating system. Vaccines save lives.
I believe that we are all just trying to survive in this apocalyptic, capitalist hellhole we've turned our planet into...aliens definitely exist but they lock their doors when they fly by us. Humanity is basically f**ked and it doesn't look like that's going to change. However, I also believe in doing whatever we can to make the world even slightly better, even if it doesn't make a difference in the end. Like, yeah, we're definitely doomed but we're doomed together and in the meantime we can try to be good and kind and helpful to each other...we can love each other and find happiness even though the world is not a happy place.
I oppose bigotry and hate in all forms. I do not tolerate any form of racism/s*xism/anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes or discrimination of any kind. That doesn't mean I'm uptight or that I lack humour, just don't be a f**king asshole. You're not funny or badass for using slurs or spreading regressive ideas that cause actual harm to people. That said I do love irony and satire especially when they're used to expose all of this evil s**t. My principles and values are everything to me and while you could definitely say I'm a "social justice warrior", I'm certainly not always "politically correct" about it. I'm also perfectly capable of having respectful disagreements with people who have different views than me, as long as those views are not rooted in hate or willful ignorance. Again, just don't be a f**king asshole.
While I was baptized in the Anglican church as a child, I rejected Christianity at a young age and now I'm kind of a “spiritual agnostic”. I'm influenced by a number of different spiritual ideas including but not limited to Pagan, Wiccan, New Age, Gnostic and Aanishinaabe teachings. However, at the end of the day I realize that I don't know s**t and there is so much we don't understand about the universe, consciousness, etc so I just try to keep an open mind and I have a very vivid imagination. Ultimately I do embrace science above the supernatural and certainly above conspiracy theories (but I'll admit I find conspiracy theories fascinating). I like exploring, travelling, researching, going down rabbit holes and I take knowledge, critical thinking and every day learning very seriously. The universe is so much bigger than us humans and the world is so much bigger than what we see from our own perspectives. If you are not utterly fascinated by the world and universe around you, we are not compatible.
What else...I am a smoker (cigarettes and weed), I drink socially and enjoy psychedelic drugs from time to time. I'm fairly tall, 5"9 and while I'm not obese I'm definitely on the chubby/curvy side so if you're looking for a petite little lady that just isn't me, lol. I've struggled with confidence, self-worth and body image issues since I was a child but it's getting better and I'm learning to be comfortable in my own skin. The kink/**** scene kind of helps with that and I'm starting to loosely explore ***** modelling and er***c photography. I have tattoos and piercings and I dye my hair a lot. You could say my style is a bit goth or "alternative" and I'm usually very feminine with how I dress and present myself. I do love hanging out in my pajamas though and I LOVE having days where I don't have to go anywhere or do anything, and I can just relax and be comfortable at home. I partied a lot in my 20s but these days I'd rather be cosy at home than go out most of the time (must be getting old lol). That said, I'm not completely anti-social and when I'm in the right mood I can be up for pretty much anything. Even in my most outgoing state I'm a very laid-back, go with the flow kinda girl that usually doesn't mind going along with whatever the person I'm with wants to do, as long as you treat me right and consider my feelings along the way.
What am I absolutely against? Bigots, assholes, rude people. People who lack empathy and compassion for others. People who are closed-minded and judgmental. People who are entitled, mean-spirited and treat others poorly. People who need to be in control all the time, who try to control their partner and are quick to anger. People who cannot have open and honest conversations and who lie, cheat and manipulate others. I've been in too many abusive and controlling relationships in my life and I don't want to settle for that anymore. I'm looking for the real deal, someone who I can actually build a life and have a family with someday. If you're an ultra-conservative traditionalist type we probably won't get along. I don't say that to be closed off or judgmental towards you but I think it's safe to say that you're not what I'm looking for and I'm probably not what you're looking for either.
Anyway...I'm sure I will come back and edit this part many times but I think I'll stop here for now. Feel free to ask me anything. Thank you for stopping by my profile. Peace and love to you.
