New to Bluesky and used to getting your news from Twitter? Well, stop, collaborate, and listen! Here are a bunch of outstanding accounts that will keep you tuned into the news without having to get Elon's emotional semen on you. Let me know whom I missed!

Follow these magnificent, brilliant writers for your daily dose of inspiration.
Some of my favorites
I have excellent taste. These are fun, lovely, brilliant, cool people you should follow. You’re welcome. You look like you need a win.
Hey you know some of these people! You don't know others! I like all of 'em and if you like me you might like them. Be excellent to each other. Friends, faves, raves, and Flavor Flav.
Reporters, pundits and professors who talk about politics and culture. Check out my Newsletters starter pack for independent journos. If you're looking for activists, check out Good Trouble-makers (general left activism) or Worker Power (labor and workplace power).

Just some folks who post frequently about their very specific interests or who otherwise have a very specific shtick that intrigues me or cracks me up. Fun follows! Check 'em out!
Good people to follow, to expand your knowledge and understanding
A starter pack filled with fans of classic movies and TV shows.
People who tend to lift me out of the occasional doldrums. YMMV, of course. And that's enough lists for one day.
