This, of course, was a joke, but would anyone actually be interested in a Kaleidochat?
If you haven't read Sturgeon finalist "The Nine Crashes of Flight Lieutenant Hilla Quinn" by @trailofleaves.bsky.social , you absolutely should! A beautiful exploration of PTSD and healing.

Want to write, or draw, or make music but think you don’t have the skills or tools to do so? There have always been solutions: build those skills, obtain those tools, or build new ones, collaborate with somebody else. AI mimics those skills, tools, and collaborations, but robs you of the art.
I look at the output of AI and I think, this is what you're willing to trade authenticity, originality, accuracy, efficiency, legality, customer goodwill, mental wellbeing, and the fragile state of our environment for? *This*?
Right. I have a Summer issue that needs editing.
You’re all already in the Kaleidotrope group chat. 😉
Maybe a few more I used to’s than I was expecting…
I honestly am not sure what to make of all these I used to’s.
Oh, that’s absolutely fair, and no shade. I just wonder if there’s anything I can do to take “I used to” to at least “occasionally” for folks.
Congratulations to all the incredible finalists—not least of all @trailofleaves.bsky.social for her story "The Nine Crashes of Flight Lieutenant Hilla Quinn" in the Autumn 2025 issue of Kaleidotrope!
