I'm in my third (and last!) year of law school. I love animals, but my main passions are politics and fighting for human rights. I can't have a conversation (or sex) with someone who's apathetic about what's going on in the world. A friend/partner would also have to be open to non-mainstream critiques of society, such as being critical of the Democratic party. I can date people who vote for Democrats, but I'm looking for someone who is open to critiques. I guess you could say I have the fervor of the recently converted since I learned the history of how the Democratic Party has been the graveyard of social movements [if that statement deeply offends you, you won't be interested in coffee with me - fair warning].

I am fiercely pro-choice (and I don't shrink from the original term pro-abortion) and here's some more of my political stances:
against racism in all its forms
against the prison-industrial complex and police brutality
against the huge class divide
against the illegal occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan
PRO Palestinian rights, including the right of return to the occupied territory now called "Israel"
PRO immigrants' rights
Gender Equality
Marriage Equality and other LGBT rights
I've been active in raising awareness about sexual violence against women and am disgusted by the silence on the high rape and domestic violence rates in this country.
Basically, I'm totally down with a world without borders, the liberation of all people, and an end to oppression in all its forms.

Oh and I make strange, cute noises. I seem outgoing, but I'm actually more self-conscious than I let on but I'm working on it.

I don't take myself very seriously and you shouldn't either. Unless you're a rabid right-winger, you'll enjoy talking to me and I'll probably make you feel very special for at least half an hour. <--That doesn't necessarily mean anything sexual.

I love insects and spiders but it's cool if you don't. I have two arachnid pets but would love to adopt some small mammal companion, like a rat, guinea pig, or rabbit (no dogs allowed in my apt. and I'm a law student).

I'm vegetarian, but not a jerk about it. I'm slowly trying to become vegan since I watched the movie Peaceable Kingdom in animal law and I figure I'm halfway there already because of my lethal egg allergy.

I love movies and reading. My favorite authors include Margaret Atwood, Barbara Kingsolver, and Douglas Adams.

I love transgendered people and cross-dressers.

law school, socialism, marriage equality activism

Listening to people. Debating right-wingers. Being creative.

Either studying, writing a paper (blecch), or chilling with friends decompressing from the week. It depends on the time in the semester.

I'm scared of papercuts, dude-bros, and dolls.

You have left-leaning politics, want to see the world improved, and would like to snuggle/get coffee with someone who feels the same way.

You answered NO to the question: Should a woman be required to inform the father of her baby (read fetus) before getting an abortion? I don't want to hear anything about circumstances or property interests in sperm. Her body, end of story.

I don't have sex with right-wingers. Don't even ask.
