Find the intro to the series here, and please feel free to check out parts two, three, and four! There’s also a film list completed before this series.
Today’s list is going to be short because I do not want to volunteer more information than is publicly available. I interact with many of these people regularly, but will never share anything without permission. Below is their Twitter handle and a brief description of their content.
- @AllisonRFloyd – Author of ‘A Wider Universe’, which I recommend, and advocate for an array of social issues
- @BpdBryan – Mental health advocate and YouTuber
- @cait_vando – I’m an atheist and frequent critic of evangelicals in particular for oppressing others’ beliefs; this is a Christian who does it right. Religious, kind, and compassionate to all
- @CaraLisette – Mental health advocate and blogger featured on the Hearts & Minds page of this blog. One of my absolute favourite blogs
- @confusatron – One of the best allies I have encountered. There are several on Twitter, but being a fellow white male he played a significant role in shaping how I viewed allyship on social media
- @crystallinesd – Social issue advocate who genuinely cares about people
- @EleanorSegall – Author of ‘Bring Me to Light’ and an exceptional mental health blogger
- @emkburke – Mental health advocate and nursing student with a tremendous capacity for empathy
- @emrazz – For many, the quintessential Twitter feminist – if you are unsure where to start with feminism, this account will open doors
- @ErynnBrook – I once described her account this way: “She is CVS. Pick any item, no matter how small, and she will generate serious receipts”
- @girlsreallyrule – Writer and lawyer with political insight to spare
- @GreyMatterLeaks – Mental health advocate and fantastic blogger; another absolute read for those interested in mental health issues
- @hannahwitton – Author of ‘The Hormone Diaries’, podcaster and YouTuber mostly on sex positivity
- @hattiegladwell – Author of ‘Girl, Unwired’ and a tremendous mental health advocate, often organising other advocates as well
- @heyyguido – Social activist, feminist, and YouTuber. Along with emrazz, one of my first major feminist account follows who introduced me to many others
- @KevinMKruse – Esteemed historian and chronic Dinesh D’Souza dunker; not only is Kevin’s account great, he also provides a list of other historians and academics to follow on Twitter
- @Lauren_Langbein – Mental health advocate with a focus on obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), a less-discussed disorder that affects me
- @marie_skou – One of the most fearless feminist voices on Twitter
- @messy4mind – Award-winning campaign to raise mental health awareness
- @OneMoreLightLB – Mental health and social issue advocate; she is currently running her AdVENT Series hosting guest bloggers in a series of festive posts about mental health during the holidays, a great way to find other voices
- @ParkerMolloy – Influential in much the same as Kevin Kruse; her account serves as a watchdog lining up sources with reporting
- @picturepositive – Writer, mental health advocate, and all-around wonderful person
- @pigletish – Author of ‘Don’t Be a Dick’ (seriously check it out), podcaster, and mental health advocate
- @QueenMab87 – “PhD candidate in legal history with a focus on race and sexuality”; her Twitter feed reflects that expertise
- @RealMissAnxiety – Mental health YouTuber and possibly the kindest person on the planet
- @resilientbounty – Writer and speaker about social issues with a powerful voice
- @RVAwonk – Feminist, behavioural scientist, and boots-on-the-ground reporter
- @samiatuomatik – Another exemplary Christian voice and social issues advocate (whose Twitter display name updates regularly with the epithets her trolls provide)
- @thatgirlwithbpd – Mental health YouTuber and blogger extraordinaire
- @urfeministboss – Feminist activist and close associate of emrazz. Mess with one, mess with both
I think it’s also worth noting that I have met several other wonderful people on Twitter who have had a significant personal impact, but for various reasons I decided it was best not to include them on such a list. You are not forgotten here ❤
