I am so fucking sick of bra ads. Nobody has my size, none of these bras fit me or are comfortable or look good, but everyone knows I can't find a bra and will desperately click on their ads and think "ooh, a bralette that won't give me uniboob? maybe this time that will be true!" (it's never true) And in all of the photos in the ads and on the site, none of the models are actually wearing the right size bra unless they have very small breasts, and obviously if I had very small breasts I would simply not wear bras at all, and I'm so mad that there have never been more bra companies in the history of the world and still, I cannot find a bra that fits me OR is comfortable, much less both.
I made a pledge to only buy from ethical/sustainable brands over the last few years and YES I hate finding a cute thing and realizing it's Tencel. It's everywhere.
This hits home. I've often felt like a failure for not working at a major newspaper, even though I was doing the same work and got to write some great stories while working at smaller ones. I also fear for the future of creative jobs. All the freelance jobs I see are for training AI on how to write. Fuck that! Joining you in the anger.

Ugh, Tencel is the scourge of "sustainable" brands. I don't care if it's a closed loop process, you're still making new shit we don't need!

I see those too and it's chilling. And thank you for commiserating, it helps to hear other people have these feelings too. 💛
