I've gone a little crazy lately with making Dreamwidth feed accounts. I figure if this place is going to be my hub, I should move a lot of my reading here from elsewhere. So for the sake of any interested others, here's a list of the feeds I've moved over!
adamneely_yt_feed: A jazz musician and music educator with a tongue-in-cheek editing style, who talks about interesting new boundaries of music, coining new memes as he goes. His videos will be most interesting if you have a background in western music theory, but many of his best can be enjoyed by anyone. Some of my favorite low barrier to entry videos are "The Girl from Ipanema is a far weirder song than you thought", "The Worst Jazz Solo of All Time", "Why the Katy Perry/Flame lawsuit makes no sense", and "What is the slowest music humanly possible?" His channel is [here](https://www.youtube.com/c/AdamNeely/) if you prefer to subscribe directly.
ao3_news_feed: In this crowd this should really require no introduction, so hey, keep up with your favorite fanfic platform here on Dreamwidth!
askhistorians_feed: RSS feed for one of the best subreddits out there (imo), where you can find a fascinating array of historical questions given even more fascinating, long-form expert answers. Shout-out to their recommended reading list in the wiki.
derangedrhythms_feed: A Tumblr blog devoted to images and short snippets of poetry and prose with a particular feel. Best to take a look to see if it vibes with you. I find it a great place to find poetry I'd never heard of.
finr2_feed: Pro-expression, anti-thought crimes discussion as applied to fandom. Remarkably consistent and comfortingly logical. Companion to
fiction_is_not_reality, where topics more likely to be censored by Tumblr are discussed. Fiction Is Not Reality 1, which was taken down by Tumblr, is hosted rather unsteadily [here](http://blog.finr.club/), and largely mirrored [on archive.org](http://blog.finr.club/).
floggingbabel_feed: The blog of unclassifiable-fantasy author Michael Swanwick.
maciej_ceglowski_feed: I can't take credit for creating this feed, but it's the blog of Maciej Cegłowski, of [Fan is a Tool-Using Animal](http://opentranscripts.org/transcript/fan-tool-using-animal/) (warning for a banner of shirtless Spirk at the link) fame. Many interesting (though infrequent) thoughts to be had here, from one of the rare outsiders who seem to understand fandom.
mcmansionhell_feed: C'mon, it's McMansion Hell. It makes fun of terrible McMansions. Why aren't you subscribed already?
oglaf_comic_feed: The one, the only, the hilarious and usually not-worksafe... Oglaf comic! I suggest you make a NSFW [subscription filter](https://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/subscriptions/filters) for this one and remove it from your default view, so that you don't accidentally see it when you shouldn't.
post_secret_feed: Remember Post Secret? Where people put their secrets in a handmade postcard and anonymously mailed it to this guy? Well, that's this. Shoutout to [the fandom version](https://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/profile).
reddit_politics_feed: The politics subreddit. You can't say they're unbiased, but you do get a lot of articles from a wide range of sources here.
snknews_feed: Attack on Titan-related news!
tarot_card_igans_feed: Tarot spreads, including meme spreads every Monday.
tarotgram_feed: Puns and general tarot stuff.
techdirt_feed: Tech news focused on moderation and anti-censorship. Home of [*Hello! You've Been Referred Here Because You're Wrong About Section 230 Of The Communications Decency Act*](https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200531/23325444617/hello-youve-been-referred-here-because-youre-wrong-about-section-230-communications-decency-act.shtml).
thetravelingwitch_feed: Witchy stuff.
wedistribute_rss_feed: News regarding federation and decentralized social media, e.g. mastodon, pleroma, or pixelfed.
wordpressnews_feed: If you host WordPress sites, you already know in your guilty heart that you should be following this.
Here also is the FAQ on feed accounts, with info on how feed accounts work. An important note is that only content from the last 14 days is kept, making these impermanent mirrors.
Now, if Twitter had built-in RSS feeds, or if there was a consistent way to make them short of self-hosting, there would be many many more here. But there's many more I could add--The Intercept; YouTube channels like Mama Doctor Jones, Legal Eagle or Mary Spender; big tumblr blogs like gallusrostromegalus or that one whose name I don't remember but they did the post about hotel pools and tumblr popularity; or, hell, I don't know, any number of blogs. What blogs do you guys read regularly? How would you fill out your reading page?
