I first published this list in the February 2022 issue of my monthly newsletter, and update it as I add and delete feeds. You can find snapshots of this page at the Internet Archive. NetNewsWire is a great app for following and reading feeds.

On January 13, 2024, I added notes to indicate which writers use Nazi-apologists Substack.
