TRIGGLYPUFF OKC ARCHIVED

My self-summary
Hi there! I'm in Bloomington for the rest of the summer:
I'm a college student in western Massachusetts studying radical leftist, anti-capitalist politics. Anarcho-communism, feminism, and body positivity are what I'm super passionate about. As you can tell, I'm a fat babe and proud of it. That's not going to change. If it bothers you, I'm not the person for you, so don't bother wasting your time.
I do a lot of activism at my school, particularly around body positivity, and dismantling the Prison Industrial Complex.
As a white cis person, I'm continuing to learn and try to stand in solidarity with people of color and trans people.
Complete Taurus. I'm not sure if I buy into astrology, but Taurus is a pretty accurate description of me, haha.
What I’m doing with my life
I currently have a summer internship focused around immigrant rights and fighting the criminalization of undocumented folks. During the school year, I attend a small liberal arts college in western Massachusetts, where I study critical theory, and anti-capitalist social movements. I spend most of my time either out with friends on some rad adventure or doing class work.
May trade nudes for burritos. Just kidding.
I’m really good at
Thinking critically, and belly dancing. Hablo espaƱol casi fluidamente.
The first things people usually notice about me
That I'm a fat babe, duh.
My hair color changes frequently.
My glasses.
My breasts, perhaps.
I've been told that I have nice lips?
I'm a pretty outspoken person, too.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
How to be a better activist.
Checking my privileges.
Dreaming of a post-revolutionary society.
If I were an animal, I'd be a manatee because they're basically giant sea teddy bears!
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I'm socially awkward. That's all I'll admit.
I'm secretly a Martian in disguise.
You should message me if
1. You're radical (or an anarchist as well!) and we share ideologies. Or it you just like what you've learned about me and want to go get coffee, go out to a bar, or have fun!
