Hi rectangle friends. I love RSS. I have lots of wonderful blogs in my RSS feedcatcher. But! I have audited my subscriptions and confirmed my feeling that a high percentage of the people whose blogs I regularly read are white. Since I mostly subscribe to new blogs via links from existing subscriptions, I think I'm stuck in a bit of a bubble, and I'd like some help discovering technical blogs and feeds run or authored by non-white people!

If you or someone you know a) is non-white b) has a blog about Rust, Python, web tech, Linux, systems programming, tech and society, or other, related topics that c) can be subscribed to via RSS, please reply and I will check it out and boost it!

Those are the only requirements. If you don't feel like you're an "expert", have only written one blog post, haven't posted in a year, etc please still let me know and I will check it out. Everyone's voice is valuable.

Thank you 💜 Boosts are appreciated!

@danbeeston @noracodes @RadicalEdward I appreciate the call out, but I fail at the non-white step

@vonExplaino @noracodes @RadicalEdward So you're just tanned?! That, is the most embarrassing mistake I may have ever made.

@noracodes I think that there are some on Planet Debian, but looking for them is non-trivial.

The first that comes to my mind is Shirish Agarwal because he often writes also on Indian society issues
