Cassie Osei is Writing a Book @tropigalia.bsky.social · 17/06/2026As frustrating and often humbling writing feels (especially as a first-book author in progress), I will never feel so useless by anything (racism, misogynoir, w/e) that I would ever consider letting an AI write on my behalf. Never ever. 1192

Reposted by Cassie Osei is Writing a Bookderek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 01/03/2025One reason why I think respectability is stupid is because it's often used as a mask. Such judgements are rarely about the clothes themselves, but more often about the bodies beneath them. To wit, no one raised an issue when Elon wore a graphic t-shirt and ball cap to meet the Trump cabinet. 104120632114
