Positive peeps, inspiring tweets

May 11, 2018 2:55 PM

I'm recently changed my Twitter account to be mostly organized by topic using the lists option, and I've un-followed 90% of those feeds so they no longer are reflected in my timeline. I did this to make my automatic feed more positive and inspiring. This leaves my Twitter feed a little sparse, and I'm wondering what are some of your favorite, positive/inspiring blogs, individuals, Twitter feeds, etc.?

Examples of Twitter users I've deemed inspiring enough to follow:

Dan Rather
National Geographic Photography
The Sporkful
Bookforum
My local art museum/gallery space
Emergency Kittens

Respectful Memes! I am a bitter old crone and damn if this doesn't warm my cockles -- not just the entries themselves, but the fact that it exists at all.

So agreeing with the suggestions above. Also: I have a real soft spot for Chaucer Doth Tweet. (Some weeks are more inspiring than others, though.)

Also: @HelloSunshine, @ClintFalin (more good dog stuff), @nbcthegoodplace (if you like that show), @MerriamWebster for hot dictionary action, and @DeathMedieval if you're just a little weird like me.

@Lin_Manuel
I love his short, inspirational, feel-good poetry! Always gives me a lift.

@bunnybuddhism - I think it's just typical positive sayings (Buddhist sayings?), but they are changed to be about bunnies.

my life has been made so.much better by following @FluffSociety. Lots of pictures of cats, dogs, turtles (fluffy on the inside) - often just home shots and often with heartwarming/funny stories.

I added @emojiaquarium on a lark, and even though it's simple it makes me smile. It's a beautiful way to use Twitter.

I don't use Twitter, but I've bookmarked @pomological (random images from the USDA Pomological Watercolor Collection). I consider it as inspirational because it's inspired me to be more attentive to the shapes and colors of fruit! :)
