@bifouba I just saw your profile (when I opened it to follow you after seeing your recent post on autocratic U-turns). It connects with some of my recent reflections on the psychology of autism. "Serial monotropist" — or #kaleidotrope?

In her most recent fiction roundup, @mariahaskins calls “Don’t Look Down” by Jennifer Lee Rossman (Kaleidotrope, Winter ‘23) “such a wonderfully strange, almost dreamlike, tale of unexpected magic that appears in unexpected places.” 🥰 #sff #fiction #stories #kaleidotrope

In this week’s Kaleidonotes—Kaleidotrope’s weekly newsletter—@Mari_Ness discusses how her poem “Beneath the Palace Dictionary Last Evil Mars Moth Sleeps” was inspired by a word cloud from an earlier Kaleidotrope issue. And it occurred to me that I hadn’t posted one of those in a little while.

So here, then, are all the words that appear in all the stories in the Winter 2023 issue of Kaleidotrope. May it inspire you too! #stories #words #kaleidotrope

Right now, Kaleidotrope’s weekly newsletter is called “Kaleidotropes,” because my brand management is just that much on point.

Should I rename the newsletter? What should I call it? #kaleidotrope #newsletters #names
