watching my husband get diagnosed with and treated for sleep apnea over the last year was not the thing that radicalized me re: weight and healthcare but my goodness it has solidified my stances.
sleep apnea is more common in people who are fat.
society decided for some reason that this meant that being fat causes sleep apnea. its often difficult to get referrals for sleep apnea treatment if you are fat, because some PCPs will tell you try losing weight first.
turns out!! having untreated sleep apnea causes weight gain in a not-insignificant number of people. it also makes it fucking impossible for many people to lose weight.
my husband worked out the same amount before he got a cpap as he does now. there have been no major diet changes either. yet he has been losing weight -- and gaining muscle tone -- consistently since he started using a cpap in january.
also, his blood pressure -- which was high, which docs blamed on his weight/diet -- went down significantly within one month of starting cpap treatment, before his weight changed significantly.
ANYWAYS. this is getting long. two final thoughts.

- if you are exhausted constantly for "no reason", and especially if you snore, you should probably ask your doctor about getting tested for sleep apnea. it is extremely common -- estimates are around 1 in 10 people -- and is also wildly under-diagnosed. like, some estimates suggest that 80% of people with moderate-severe sleep apnea are undiagnosed.
Every year I'm so excited about getting new school supplies and I promise myself that I'm gonna be nice and neat with them and by the end of the school year my backpack is torn, my binder is on life support, my notebook needs therapy, and I'm excited to start it all over again.
It's gonna be different this year trust.

My hottest Carrie take is that none of the adaptations come close to the empathy that King has for Carrie as a character in the book. Every adaptation sands down Carrie's more unappealing (by societal standards) traits to make her a tragic, saintly figure who snapped that night. The book doesn't do that. It doesn't matter that Carrie is a "frog among swans" who had violent fantasies and parroted her mother's religious rhetoric to classmates. She is still Carrie White, an abused girl who didn't deserve anything that happened to her.
“This is the girl they keep calling a monster. I want you to keep that firmly in mind. The girl who could be satisfied with a hamburger and a dime root beer after her only school dance so her momma wouldn't be worried"
Carrie still not being portrayed by a fat girl in 2026 is insane.
“I love fat bitches” mfs when you actually like fat women with arm fat and double chins and not a woman with big boobs and fat ass with no waist:
you are not a "femcel" you are not a "foid" you are not a "hon" you are a woman worthy of respect and taking up space and being happy and the world is yours for the taking you're ALIVE!!!!!!!!! you're a HUMAN!!!!!!! FUCK what they told you!!!!!!
i do think what gets ignored about carrie as a character is that she’s an incredibly easy target to bully; she’s a chubby, sheltered acne ridden teenage girl who wears frumpy grandma clothes and regurgitates the jesus freak shit her violently abusive mother tells her. she has violent thoughts about her classmates and is uncomfortable to be around. she’s far more interesting being a victim that’s somewhat uncomfortable to be in the head of than a tragic waif. she’s not a martyr, she’s a child and a child who’s been victimised her whole life shouldn’t have to be kind and angelic to be recognised as a victim. suffering teenage girls shouldn’t just be presented on screen as toned down glamorous thin ophelias, suffering teenage girls can be fat and poor and think violently. i do think we need to examine why culturally we need teenage girls to be beautiful and kind to valorise their suffering and treat it as bad
Something about the bastardization of the story time and time again proves that nobody in power really cares about the people who would resonate with King’s Carrie White. A girl so ugly and repulsive she’s been removed from her own story. The societal need for women and girls to be constantly perceived as attractive is what fuels a fair amount of her torment in the book, but that person isn’t even allowed to exist on the screen. We cannot empathize with her; it isn’t allowed. It’s fascinating to me.
"we are going to adapt carrie but we will be subtracting her fatness, the bullying, her period trauma, her abusive homelife, the religious abuse, the critiques of 1970s evangelicalism, the interesting format, and we're going to just make it into a cozy high school powers au"
being closeted in a conservative, conformist town and then seeing a visibly queer person out in public is like seeing an angel. like finding cool water in a hot desert. like reuniting with a long lost family member. im gonna cry
