This is more of a “following” page than a curated blogroll, but I decided to go with the more is more approach 😄 I maintain this page manually so I don’t update it often — also that probably means I’ve missed some feeds I follow 🤷♀️

Personal blogs
Where I draw the line of personal versus topical blog can be a little hard to define, so some things on here may be more of a personal blog than not. And maybe some topical blogs and newsletters might belong here 🤷♀️
I also follow a bunch of people through micro.blog instead of RSS and it is too much work to add them all here too 😅
I’ve omitted blogs that haven’t posted in the last 6 months or more.
