People I admire

This is a 100% organic, evolving, unsorted, and unfiltered list of people I admire, and have admired for a long time. Usually it’s random strangers on the Internet, sometimes it’s IRL friends - whose work, writing, art, opinions, or message I particularly appreciate (but not necessarily always endorse or agree with).
