My wife just got a Twitter handle and was looking for a good way to get news from leftist sources/perspectives, and anything else cool. Any good accounts come to mind? I’m kind of new to Left Twitter too so would love some recs. She isn’t like a full on communist yet but a solid socialist, so to speak, still like building her base of knowledge so would probably be turned off to any hardcore/outright theory accounts. Obvs any anarchist stuff welcome too. But yeah, just looking to give her a solid list to start with. Thanks for the help!
- News/events orgs, journalists, people with good critical takes, etc
- Funny people
- Community outreach/mutual aid (+1 for PNW stuff)
- Female voices, could be funny, feminist, anything really
- BIPOC and LGBTQ+ perspectives
- International news
- She likes dance, forests, art, movies, etc
- Anything else!
I highly recommend just searching Twitter's search function for the names of like 5 animals you like, and just following a few dozen "animal every hour" and "animal every day" accounts. Social media is at its best when it is hundreds of uninterrupted animal pictures and nothing else at all.
Raccoons daily has been a real treat
I also also recommend red pandas, owls, and fennecs
