Last time on Weekly Link Love we featured some Twitter accounts we love to follow. This week we’re focusing on a different platform and highlighting some Instagram favorites instead.
That’s right, it’s time for another edition of Weekly Link Love. As we’ve said before, this is place where we call attention to websites, blogs, videos, socials (including cool Instagram accounts) or other people & places we think you should know about.
Sure, some may not like Instagram, especially after it was purchased by Facebook. But it still remains one of the best places to showcase your creative work and potentially build a large fanbase. Plus, there’s lot of great artists we admire who show their work on Instagram. So, for us, that makes it a worthwhile platform.
You may have heard of none, some, or all of these Instagram folks. And yes, we know we’ve featured a few of them in previous Weekly Link Love posts, but they’re worth your time so we’re link loving them again!
And, of course, there’s so many more we follow and love. We can’t list them all. This post would be way too long. Instead, these are but a sample.
Okay? Okay. As always, don’t forget to spread the love. Now, on to the links!
Chris Lowell – You know him from Veronica Mars and Glow, but he’s also a great photographer too. Check out his work.
Conor Leslie – Badass superhero on TV’s Titans and badass photographer and person too.
Felicia Day – What can we say? No list of people on Instagram nerd’s love would be complete without this person.
History of Cinema – So many great photos taking you through cinema’s past. A great account, especially if you love movies like we do.
Jack Black – This man has helped us tremendously during quarantine by being damn funny in his own backyard. Thank you Jack.
Jason Momoa – Really needs to explanation. He’s just cool and a great guy.
Kat Swansey – Kat’s photos of rural Texas towns are really exceptional. If you want to experience the “real” Texas, this is the account for you.
Kodak Film – We still love film and still love the way it looks. If you’re a film lover too, this is an account for you.
Marisha Ray – We love Critical Role (obviously) and Marisha is one of our favorite cast members. She’s also a cool human too.
Matt Day – We keep coming back to this guy, but we love his work. If you want to see what excellent photography looks like, check out this man’s Instagram.
Negative Feedback – We’ve learned a lot from this gentleman. He’s a talented photographer and one of the first to extoll the virtues of film on Instagram and YouTube.
Ryan Muirhead – Another photographer who’s work inspires us.
Sam Riegel – If we had to pick a favorite member of the Critical Role team, it would be Sam. Watch the show and you’ll understand why.
Sandy Phimester – Another photographer who’s talent we aspire too. His photos are amazing.
Taika Waititi – We like funny, talented people who make great art that forces you to think a bit too. If you like those things also, check out this person’s Instagram.
Vintage Audio Love – We love analog stuff and this account showcases the best of vintage audio porn.
Wil Wheaton – He’s just this guy, you know?

Last time on Weekly Link Love we featured some YouTube creators who’s work we enjoy watching and learning from. This week we’re switching it up a bit and giving you a heads up about cool Twitter accounts we enjoy reading and think you’ll enjoy too.
That’s right, it’s time for another edition of Weekly Link Love. As we’ve done before, this is place where we highlight websites, blogs, videos, socials (including cool Twitter accounts) or other people & places we think you should know about.
Sure, Twitter can often be a shitty place filled with meandering “hot takes” and people who’d rather argue than make an actual point, but it’s got some good things going for it too. It’s not all bad, especially now that certain people have been asked to vacate the premises. That means more cool Twitter accounts left to follow!
You may have heard of none, some, or all of these Twitter users. And yes, we know we featured a few of them in previous Weekly Link Love posts, but they’re worth your time so we’re link loving them again!
So that’s that. As always, don’t forget to spread the love.
Now, on to the links!
Alex Segura – We love Alex’s work, especially his Pete Fernandez series and recent Poe Dameron: Freefall book, but it’s his positive attitude and how he helps the community of writers that we’re especially fond of. Alex is good people.
Alison Martino – We love Alison’s look at Los Angeles from the past. That town has changed (in some ways not for the better) and it’s great to see it during the “glory days” when anything seemed possible.
Ashley Warren – Writer, content creator, teacher and all-around cool person, Ashley is a great writer herself and can help with your writing too. Plus, she makes some great D&D stuff. We love that.
Chuck Wendig – Another one of our favorite writers on Twitter. Chuck’s novels, especially Wanderers (which is our favorite) are great and his writing advice, gentle or otherwise, is top notch. Follow him and you won’t be sorry. Plus, you just may learn something too.
Deborah Ann Woll – We first noticed her because of her amazing work as an actress on True Blood and Netflix’s Daredevil. Now we follow her for great D&D tips and adventures and because she’s just really cool.
Dyson Logos – This guy draws some of the best D&D maps we’ve ever seen and he shares his knowledge freely. We like that.
Gail Simone – One of the best writers working in comics today. Also, one of the funniest and nicest too. Definitely worth a follow.
James S.A. Corey – We love The Expanse books and TV series, so this account is a must follow for us. Plus, his info and opinions on science, writing, space, life and more are first rate. And, he doesn’t suffer fools. We appreciate that.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach – A terrific writer and television creator who also takes time out of his day to help other writers be better at their craft. What’s not to like?
John Scalzi – We can’t highlight people to follow on Twitter without mentioning Scalzi. We love his books, his blog, his Twitter account and his no-bullshit attitude towards certain topics and individuals. Definitely worth your time and a follow.
Jon Enge – One of our favorite creators and a damn fine Dungeon Master too. Check him out (along with our own Chris Ullrich and John Carle) on Twitch every Sunday night.
Keith Ammann – Author of some of our favorite D&D books about monsters, characters and how they fight.
Scott Weinberg – We know a lot about movies, but Scott kinda puts us to shame, especially in the horror genre. Plus, he’s pretty funny too.
Seth Rogen – You may not love him or his movies (we do, btw). We think he’s funny as hell, especially when he’s proving just how dumb certain other Twitter users are. You know what we’re talking about, right? Of course you do.
Swear Trek – If you ever wanted to see what various Star Trek characters really think, follow this account.
The Spaceshipper – Do you love cool space ships and more from classic sci-fi shows, movies and more? This is the account to follow.
That’s enough for today. But don’t worry, we’ll do this again soon. We follow a lot of cool people on Twitter.
Did we forget one of your favorites? Who do you enjoy following on Twitter? Sound off in the comments or hit us up on Facebook, Instagram or, magically, on Twitter. We’re there too. Amazing, right?
Happy Twittering!

That’s right, it’s time for another edition of Weekly Link Love. As we’ve done before, this is where we highlight websites, blogs, videos or other things we think you should know about.
This time around we’re highlighting a few of the great YouTube content creators we watch and enjoy on the regular. These talented folks work tirelessly to bring us informative, entertaining and fun video content and we think it’s time they got the love they deserve.
You may have heard of none, some or all of these creators, but whatever the case, we think they warrant a spot in the Weekly Link Love. As always, don’t forget to spread the love. Comment, like and subscribe. But remember, be kind.
Now, on to the links!
Critical Role – The one that started, and continues to lead, the D&D streaming explosion. Great adventures and an amazing cast of characters. Is it Thursday yet?
Dylan Laine – Want to learn piano, guitar or ukulele, Dylan is the one to watch.
Grainy Days – Photographer Jason Kummerfeldt takes you through his process, photos and inspirations in a fun, funny and informative way. And his photos are pretty great too. Oh, and Baxter is awesome. In fact, just check out the channel for Baxter. You won’t be sorry.
iJustine – She’s been in the tech game for quite some time but, if you want to know anything about anything tech, Justine has got you covered. Smart, funny, talented and knowledgeable. A winning combination the entertains and informs.
James Hoffman – If you want to know anything about making the best cup of coffee you possibly can, James is your man. If he doesn’t know, nobody does.
Lindsey Ellis – Some of the best and most insightful film and television commentary and analysis you’ll find on YouTube. Do you want to understand how and why movies and TV shows work, or don’t work? Watch Lindsey.
Matt Day – One of the best photography channels on YouTube. Matt is an amazing photographer and a great dude. If you love photography, film or digital, check him out for sure.
New Rockstars – Led by Eric Voss, this channel is one of our favorites for crazy movie and television commentary, deep dives and theories. Eric knows his stuff and finds the hidden meanings, signs, Easter eggs and clues where others can’t.
WASD20 – A hub for D&D and tabletop role-players and map makers. This channel is another of our favorites.
Whiskey and Waffles – We’re probably a little biased here. Ok, more than a little. Still, this is a great channel with some fun content. We especially love that D&D Twitch stream
Wyrmwood – These guys make some of the best D&D tables and accessories in the world. Their channel, Wyrm Lyfe, is damn funny and full of interesting (and a few crazy) characters. We never miss an episode.
That’s it for this week. Let us know if you find an interesting link you’d like to share.
Until then, don’t forget to spread the love!

We thought it would be great to link to other blogs, websites, podcasts, videos and stories that caught our fanc,y or we think deserved to get noticed, during the week. So, to further that, and spread a little love around, we’re bringing back the Weekly Link Love.
No, it’s not an original idea. Lots of people do it. And we’ve done it before too. Granted, it’s been a minute. But that doesn’t matter.
We think it’s important to bring it back and uplift others, especially these days. So, welcome back the Weekly Link Love.
Since we produce a podcast, it made sense to start with some of the ones we listen to on the regular and enjoy. Find the links below. Spread the love.
The Beerists – For the love of craft beer. Podcast produced in Austin, TX.
Dragon Talk – The official Dungeons & Dragons podcast.
The Erasable Podcast – The No. 2 pencil podcast about, you guessed it, pencils.
HomeWork – The podcast by and for people working at home.
Inside of You – Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville’s Lex Luthor) interviews great guests.
The KingCast – A Stephen King podcast for Stephen King obsessives.
The Pen Addict – We love pens and pencils, so this podcast is a favorite.
Random Trek – Scott McNulty discusses a random episode of a Star Trek series with a non-random guest.
Scriptnotes – Screenwriting and things that are interesting to screenwriters, with John August & Craig Mazen.
Waveform: The MKBHD Podcast – A tech podcast for the gadget lovers and tech heads with Marques Brownlee.
WTF? – Marc Maron interviews everyone and gives his personal views on issues of the day.
That’s it for this week. Let us know if you find an interesting link you’d like to share. Until then, don’t forget to spread the love.
