I'm constantly surprised at the number of people who are looking for lists of people to follow. There's no shortage of fascinating breadcrumb trails here.
Pick a toot that resonates with you and open it up. See who commented, or retooted it. Look at those people's profiles. Follow them.
Look at their older toots and follow the people whose comments on those toots pique your interest.
I've been here a month & have a global circle, not one of whom I knew before coming here. #IFollowTheCrumbs

Although some brains are wired to dance thanks to differences in the genes contributing to emotion and communication, we can all re-wire our brains to be better dancers while enjoying the many health and social benefits that dance can bring.

VICTORY! Thanks to the passionate residents of the Bay Area and the leadership of Supervisors Preston, Ronen, and Walton, the Board today voted against SFPD use of deadly force with remote-controlled robots.
Should the Rules Committee revisit the issue, the community must come together to stop this dangerous use of technology. Huge thanks are due to the coalition of residents and groups who pushed back, and who we know will be ready if we must fight again. https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/San-Francisco-police-can-t-use-deadly-robots-for-17635949.php

Here is my SH2-170 Little Rosette image, a total of 26 hours exposure in narrowband across [SII], H-alpha and [OIII]. It has been a tough target to image and has taken many sessions across a month of imaging due to poor weather. Taken with an Atik 383L+ and 190MN telescope #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Space #Narrowband #Astrodon #Nebula #Sharpless #Photography

Good evening!

Here comes my starless and rather experimental narrowband version of the famous Orion Nebula (M42). Exposure: in total 9 hours of halpha, SII & OIII data.

6 December 1942 | Grigol Peradze, a cleric of the Georgian Orthodox Church, an archimandrite, perished in Auschwitz. Since 1933 he lectured at the College of Orthodox Theology of the Warsaw University. The Germans arrested him on 5 May 1942 and in November deported him to Auschwitz.

We are all stardust.

That oxygen you breath? That comes from dying massive stars, ending their light in a supernova.

The iron in your blood? Some massive stars dying, but mainly white dwarfs, the leftovers of dwarf stars like our own Sun, exploding.

The gold ring on your finger? Mostly merging neutron stars, leftovers from supernovae.
