I’ve had this for years and it’s been living in varying degrees of sunlight, which I assume is why sometimes the new growth ends up skinny and other times, like now in my new sunny apartment, it’s bulky. It’s was was dormant for a long time and now there’s been a ton of new growth and I worry it’s going to be too top heavy and collapse. I don’t know anything about cacti, and I think this is maybe a euphorbia, but I’ve kept this thing alive. I’ve never really seen a similar plant, so I thought I’d share and maybe get some insight on what I’ve been growing

No idea, but I love it.
Probably a euphorbia lactea though it’s hard to tell as it’s been struggling just to stay alive under your care. Euphorbia needs hours of intense light, not as much direct sun as a desert cactus in most cases but this is a really sad light hungry plant. At this state, chop and prop the pieces and give it a grow light. Dang. Years of care should give you a show piece, not this sad baby. Here’s what I think it is with appropriate light, though mine is a white variety:
