On March 8, we celebrated International Women’s Day, a time to celebrate women’s social, economic, cultural, and political achievements, and we continue to reflect on women’s contributions throughout Women’s History Month. Today, there are more women developers, engineers, tech startup entrepreneurs, and business leaders than ever before—but there’s still a lot of work to do. For International Women’s Day, I gave to organizations that support trans people, protect sex workers, and pursue racial justice.

Once I did that hard work, it was time to have a bit of fun and follow some rad people on Twitter and DEV. Here are a few people I love to see when I get online, in alphabetical order by first name:
