Okay, so after staring about half an hour at the screen, trying to think of an appropriate title, looking for something simple yet interesting, I've decided to forget all about it and start writing.
My name is Maya, I live in Israel, born in 1985.
This was the easy part, writing out the facts of who I am. The rest, well, is still a work in progress with tons of messy labels that are constantly changing.
I define myself as a cisgender woman, bisexual, polyamorous, feminist and childfree. I have two significant relationships with @poet and
@techslut to whom I have to thank (or blame, time will tell) for introducing me to this community.
I studied biology and have an MSc degree in natural resources management. You could say I'm a "farmer" now, as I work at a small flower nursery on breeding new varieties. This job can be very monotonous at times, which allows me to broaden my horizon listening to podcasts and learning new things. Also, taking pictures of the natural environment I work at became a little hobby of mine!
Still trying to figure out the whole "what do you wanna be when you grow up" part. My ideal job would be to keep learning new things, but since it's not really possible, I learn a lot of things on a very basic level. I know just a bit of sewing, some home improvement, some languages, writing and poetry, I even took a car mechanics class recently. I love cooking, and even though I'm not vegan I enjoy veganizing recipes for my friends.
The cake is a lie! (Not a cheesecake)
My style could be considered alternative, with many piercings, tattoos and dyed hair. My favorite places to shop are second-hand stores where I usually arrive as a personal stylist for my friends (I should really get paid for that!). I also do my hair by myself, and help the above @techslut with maintenance of hers :)
What can you expect of me here?
I think the best answer is- A bit of everything.
Pictures of me and the things I make, nature photography, stories (and rants) about my life as a woman working in a field (literally) dominated by men, general thoughts about things close to me such as love, polyamory, feminism, gender issues, things that come to mind from listening to podcasts... My life, unfiltered.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and hope I can contribute a bit to this awesome community.
Kisses,
Maya.
