Feministing
An online feminist community focused on sharing information and encouraging activism. It's a great, although biased, way to stay up to date on current feminist issues without being overwhelmed.
Kiva
A website that allows you to loan money to support an individual/group's business in a region of poverty. There's a return rate of over 99% and it's a great way to directly impact another's life in a positive way.
Songza
A website similar to Pandora that plays you music depending on the time of day and your current activity. You don't have to go through the music concierge, but that's how I find it most useful.
HPA
A great charity that takes examples of social issues from Harry Potter and works to improve them in the real world.
Thought Catalog
A collection of great thought-provoking, relate-able, and/or beautifully written articles. There's definitely something to interest everyone there.
YouTube Channels:
- Sex+
Laci Green focuses on providing education about sex and issues surrounding it, many times based off of her experiences. - Sexplanations
Another sex education video series, this time with Dr. Lindsey Doe, who's a clinical sexologist and shares tons of information based on her extensive education and life experiences. Also she's super adorable and has huge doe eyes, ironically. - Vlogbrothers
The brothers John and Hank Green often summarize current event issues that make them easier to understand, but also do goofy and thought-provoking videos. - Healthcare Triage
A YouTube channel devoted to making healthcare more understandable to average people.
