@femfreq
Feminist Frequency is a video webseries, hosted by Anita Sarkeesian, that critically explores the representations of women in pop culture narratives.

@JoyceCarolOates
Yes, that Joyce Carol Oates. Not only is she on Twitter, but she’s also winning the whole damn thing. Follow her for lots of random witty insights and social commentary, usually in multi-tweet form. For example: I have seen the best minds of my generation destroyed by kitten videos.

@Discovery
The Discovery Channel really hits their stride during Shark Week, but they’re worth following all year for their copious cool factoids about animals and planet earth.

Following the Mars Curiosity rover is like being Twitter friends with Wall-E. Cool science, quirky personality, and mind-blowing photos from surface of Mars — an awesome daily reminder that we live in the future.

Madeline Stanionis is M+R’s creative director. She’s been trying to make things that don’t suck for causes for a really long time, and just started using this newfangled Twitter thing to tell you all about it.

If our favorite ad man lived in Reagan’s America. Sample Tweet: “Women are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. They’re going to want padding.”
