Is there some sort of campaign to stop inserting these things into bras (especially sports bras) as a matter of course? Like, to let people opt in/out? They’re so wasteful.

This was a great exploration on anxiety and what overcoming it might mean to those whose life are crippled by it... All in a fun #speculative piece! Read it with your next cuppa! Great #shortstory @annaclark.bsky.social published by @diabolicalplots.com www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-1...

I have a story out! At dream publication, no less! It’s about adventure and anxiety, methods of coping, a tool that might help but also caries drawbacks (because brains are delicate and individual), and being empathetic to another person’s choices, even when they end in disaster.
