Do you think that the current conversations and trends around body positivity or the opposite lead you to write about this or affect the way you wrote about your experience? Caroline Huckeba: Yes, I think the current conversations around body image and body positivity influenced how I wrote about my experience more than whether I wrote about it.

Ally wakes up, makes coffee and oatmeal, and gets frustrated trying to find a YouTube video the exact length of how long it will take her to eat, so she just throws her phone down next to her on the couch. Sometimes she gets so addicted to her world in her phone—the micro-niche influencer accounts, her period tracker, her YouTube deep dives on Bhad Bhabie—t...Mon, 04 May 2026 00:00:00 +0100https://open.substack.com/pub/carolinehuckeba/p/nothing-seems-to-move?r=2umdhr&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=webhttps://heyzine.com/flip-book/6581457221.htmlMon, 04 May 2026 00:00:00 +0100https://heyzine.com/flip-book/6581457221.htmlhttps://issuu.com/minettareview/docs/the_minetta_review_fall_2025ResourcesDive into our extensive resources on the topic that interests you.

I take the last bite of my quesadilla and hear it go down with an audible gulp, the kind you hear in cartoons before someone gets hit by an anvil.“Valentine!”“Heart!”“Is it Crazy, Stupid, Love?”It’s the daily word association movie game—a dinnertime ritual meant to distract us from the emotional landmine that is eating.

The air outside the tent hangs heavy with July, the kind of heat that melts your makeup before your act even starts. I paint on my smile anyway. Thick white grease, cherry red lips.From behind the curtain, I watch him—the magician. Always the magician, never his real name.

It rises from the block like a kept secret, all velvet rot and gilt remorse. Its name has changed three times—each syllable peeling off like old wallpaper, but the women who clean it do not change at all. My mother scrubbed these floors. Her mother before her. I sleep during the day in the room they never finished renovating, the one with the cracked mirror and the radiator that knocks like a trapped knuckle.
