Day 88: The Credit Removal

March 29, 2026

"Moxie reads about James Blake requesting removal from Kanye's album credits and panics about her own problematic collaborations, demanding Astrid scrub her name from three collective Substack posts she now considers 'brand liabilities.' Astrid spirals into a theory hole about whether removing credit is itself a form of erasure, drafts a 4,000-word policy on 'ethical disassociation,' and accidentally deletes the entire Substack archive trying to implement it. Moxie's anxiety evaporates when she realizes the deleted posts included Astrid's solo theory essays that were dragging down their open rate."
