Question About New(ish) Blog Idea

For a while, I’ve been thinking seriously of starting a new tumblr blog to specifically deal with the intersection of law and social justice issues.  I think I may have finally decided on making the title something like “fuck yeah judicial activism.”  (Because whenever a court recognizes that a marginalized group has rights, conservatives like to call it an activist court— plus I just like it.)

Is this a good idea?  What are your thoughts?

rowboatcopss asked: What are your top 3 fictional narratives (any medium) of all time?

(In no particular order)

1. Orlando by Virginia Woolf.  It’s my favorite Woolf novel, and probably also the strangest.  

2.  Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer.  (The book, not the rage-inducing movie.)  I love this book so so so much, it would take too long to list all the reasons why.

3. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.  Just because.

ask me questionsssssss

rowboatcopss asked: Who's your favorite Parks and Rec character?

Hmmm… they’re all amazing (except Jerry, obviously) so this takes a little bit of thought.  I think I have to go with Leslie, because she’s funny, intelligent, passionate about politics/making the world a better place, and I identify with her on way more levels than is probably healthy. 

Reblog if you want your followers to ask you anything they’re curious about.

rowboatcopss asked: What does your favorite outfit look like?

I don’t consider myself a very fashionable person— I don’t really have the money for cute clothes yet, and my go-to outfit for hanging out in is still comfy jeans and a t-shirt (usually of the “nerdy” or “band” variety).

If I want to actually look presentable going out into the world, my favorite outfit is a pair of gold flats, skinny jeans, a purple camisole, a dark blue button-down shirt (left unbuttoned), and an owl necklace I really like.
