List Of People With Synesthesia
This is a list of notable people who have claimed to have the neurological condition synesthesia. Following that, there is a list of people who are often wrongly believed to have had synesthesia because they used it as a device in their art, poetry or music (referred to as pseudo-synesthetes). Estimates of prevalence of synesthesia have ranged widely, from 1 in 4 to 1 in 25,000 – 100,000. However, most studies have relied on synesthetes reporting themselves, introducing self-referral bias. Media outlets including Pitchfork have critically noted the considerable numbers of musical artists from the 2010s onwards claiming to be synesthetes, observing that "without literally testing every person who comes out in the press as a synesthete, it’s exceedingly difficult to tell who has it and who is lying through their teeth for cultural cachet" and that claims of experiencing synesthesia can be employed "as an express route to creative genius".

Rookie (magazine)
''Rookie'' was an American online magazine for teenagers created by fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson. ''Rookie'' published art and writing from a wide variety of contributors, including journalists, celebrities, and the magazine's readers. The subject matter ranged from pop culture and fashion to adolescent social issues and feminism. ''Rookie'''s content was divided into monthly "issues", each built around a theme. It updated five days a week, three times a day: roughly just after school, at dinnertime, and "when it’s really late and you should be writing a paper but are Facebook stalking instead." History In November 2010, Gevinson announced on her blog, Style Rookie, that she would be launching a new magazine with Jane Pratt, founding editor of ''Sassy''. Though ''Sassy'' had ceased publication in 1996, the year Gevinson was born, the fashion blogger had on several previous occasions expressed her admiration for the defunct indie teen magazine and lamented the fact that her ...
