Horses are good company -- The Witcher

photographic_i is a comm I just found in which people post photos. It's active!

multibeautiful features pictures of famous people of color (including some who aren't so famous).

fancake is a multifandom recs community. The current theme is "genderfuck".

Hello and welcome, new Dreamwidth users!

Here are some people and communities I recommend following. I try to only include personal journals with public content in Follow Friday.

boilingwater: for beginner cooks

shutterspeed: photography prompts and cool photos

metafandom: links to interesting conversations in fandom

scansdaily: the old comm that got deleted off LJ! Scans of comic books and manga for girl geeks (and everyone).

dark_agenda: a comm for promoting characters of color in fanworks.

kink_bingo: A very active fandom challenge for kinky fanworks. NSFW.

disability: general disability topics.

queer_rage: What it says on the tin.

style_salon: a great comm for discussing fashion and personal style. I love this comm and wish more people posted and hung out there!

thingswithwings: fannish squee, fannish meta, vid talk, thinky posts, a variety of interesting topics.

rydra_wong: links, fandom, links, stuff of interest.


Follow Friday Feed has all posts tagged with "follow friday" or "followfriday" in a 5 minute delay.

These recs were just off the top of my head! There are so many great things at DW. :D

eta bechdel_test: discussing movies through the lens of the Bechdel test.

create_my_comm: for the communities you wish existed on DW

dw_community_promo: Advertising communities! This one is essential!

I use this meme to highlight interesting content on Dreamwidth. Normally I haven't been cross-posting Follow Friday posts, but I think I'm going to start doing so.

dreamwidth_meta: META. About DREAMWIDTH. *rolls around*

metaquotes: Humorous repostings of quotes seen around the site.

queer_as_dreamwidth: So far a comm with not much activity, but I hope that changes.

Also:

Dreamwidth standing by its principles in the face of attacks by trolls

Dreamwidth's Diversity is its Strength article at LinuxPlanet

Highlighting Interesting content on Dreamwidth!

damned_colonial: geekiness of several sorts, feminism, food, knitting

queer_rage: For your queer rage *raises fist*

XKCD feed The comic with the stick figures and the geekiness.

This meme is for highlighting interesting content on Dreamwidth.

trouble: writes about disability topics, her thesis, and links to things she writes elsewhere on the internet (such as at FWD/Forward and Bitch Media).

giandujakiss: Fanvids, fandom, feminism, politics.

kink_bingo: awesome fandom challenge for fanworks (fiction, mostly, but also vids, art, and icons) related to kinks of all kinds. The tagging system is organized by author, fandom, and kink. Generally NSFW.

anti_recs: a new comm where you can post about that book, movie, article, TV show, or other published work that made you wish you hadn't wasted your time or money.

You can check out more of these posts at followfriday.

Here's the plan: every Friday, let's recommend some people and/or communities to follow on Dreamwidth. That's it. No complicated rules, no "pass this on to 7.328 friends or your cat will die". Just introduce us to some new things to read.

lauredhel: Feminism, disability activism, snark. She lives in Australia and also blogs at Hoyden About Town

fandom_icons: Post your fandom icons; grab icons; you know the drill.

Geek Feminism Feed: Women in Tech, wide-ranging feminist topics, linkspams.

ETA: A round-up of these posts will be collected in followfriday.
