I've only just started learning about things like the blogroll after nearly 10 years of having a blog and I love reading so here's a bunch of really cool people whose blogs you should also read.
- Drew DeVault's blog: Drew founded Sourcehut, the Sway window manager, a lot more software and now maintains all of them. He writes about a variety of topics I find that his takes on political issues really resonate with mine. He truly embraces the open source philosophy in all of the ways I wish I could.
- Propagandhi: Adrianna Tan is someone I met and got to know on Mastodon and she writes a lot about food and what it's like to be neurodivergent.
- Amanda's Writing Corner: Amanda is a musician and plays black/death metal. She writes fiction and set up this blog to put it out there. We've been friends for a while from Twitter (now Bluesky).
- Ambika Kamath: Ambika is an ecologist and has worked on lizards for her PhD. She writes about ecology and has currently co-authored a book called Feminism in the Wild.
- Noob Heavy: Kep, Westin, Ellis and Kirk run this wonderful blog on new and upcoming releases in the metal world. If you're also into metal, this is a must follow.
- Sleeping Village Reviews: I've been friends with… erm… well I don't know his name, but well we've been friend for quite some time now from Twitter to now Bluesky. We discuss a lot of metal and he writes reviews for, well, all kinds of metal. You know the drill.
- The Toronto Public Libra: Dana "Rusty" Rosamund Teagle is a friend from Bluesky and she has "spent her entire life being gay on a computer." Her blog is linked on her website.1
- Seema Mundoli: Seema writes about her three quirky cats, CI Mykah, Fuzzu and Noori. They're a LOT of fun.
- Kev Quirk: Kev is a tech guy and he maintains the fosstodon.org instance on Mastodon. He writes about a variety of stuff but mostly just life, and watches.
- False Knees: the hilarious bird comic!
- View from Elephant Hills: TR Shankar Raman has been an old family friend and he used to go birding with my father. He has been writing this blog for quite some time now and usually talks about ecological issues and bird-watching.
- Sutirtha's blog: Sutirtha is a birder and I've known him as a classmate too. He writes about, well, birding and wherever work takes him.
- Neil's blog: Neil Brown writes about tech and is very vocal about stuff that has to do with the internet. He's also very active on the Fediverse. His blog was one of the key contributors to my switching back to the Etch theme.
- EnbySpacePerson: Eve writes about various topics and I'm typically most interested in their posts on using the fediverse. They also write adult fiction.
- R-bloggers: This is a collection of articles on how people use R and other allied data science tools written by various contributors. This is an invaluable resource if you're looking to learn advanced R.
- Birdcount India: regular updates on birding events and news from the eBird India team.

Dana uses a Substack and I feel like I shouldn't be providing the blogging service any traffic from my end since "its chief executive defended hosting and handling payments for “Nazis” on its platform, citing anti-censorship reasons." See this article from The Guardian. Hence I've not provided a direct link to her Substack.
