let there be light

There’s so many of you!

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.

we can't even say "i hate men" without having to explain TO OTHER WOMEN that no, we don't hate every individual man on the planet, we hate the class man and the system men made for themselves that dominates the place we live in. in the same way that we have to tell other women that misandry is not a systemic force, and hating what men as a class of people and the patriarchy they made does not a misandrist make

Among The Hail Mary [Part 8] - Start | Prev | END!

And this concludes the main storyline for Among The Hail Mary! It has been a crazy almost month and a half since ATHM came to me in a fever dream, and I could not have been happier for it to reach it's main conclusion! Thank you all so much for loving this AU!

The main storyline may be complete, but there are plans for smaller storylines! You can follow the [ATHM Masterpost] over on my Update Blog if you would like notification updates on future ATHM content! But for now, the rat would like to take a break from the AU series and focus their attention on other projects and AUs that's been cooking in the background! Thanks for reading!
