I would like to follow more people who shitpost about critical theory and continental philosophy generally. I need more jokes and sly allusions to Foucault, Lacan, Derrida, Butler, etc. But not just those. I know it’s niche, but it’s a big fediverse. Please help me find them/you!
The response to this query has been incredible and I feel that the Big Otter is watching and approves. I’ve followed a lot of new people as a result and have a list I’m calling Big Otter. No one (or perhaps almost no one) is a pure critical theory jokester, so the list is a mix of the usual fedi-everything but it’s just a joy to find a bit more of the humanities nerds. #bigOtter
And uh, at the risk of explaining a joke, but really this one is funnier if you explain it, I’m calling it Big Otter because of Lacanian Big Other and the delightful Tumblr “Discourse on the Otter.” https://www.tumblr.com/discourseontheotter-blog/165796880265/the-otter-lives

I wrote a blog post about finding your people on Mastodon, which is mostly about how making this request happened.
