I will follow people with unique or quirky personalities that I find interesting. I will follow people who post environmental information or interesting scientific facts of many types.
I will follow people who take photographs in nature if they care enough to supply some descriptive photo detail.

Trump mandates all federal agencies send email blaming Dems for potential gov’t shutdown
Workers call the partisan email "a vile slap in the face."
