one time when i was six i saw an infomercial claiming that their product would make you look ten years younger and my sister said she was gonna use it on me and i became really scared
The “Princess Cum” porn brand in Nubiles’ portfolio has channel-drifted from a “girl forces a creampie” formula to more freeform often stepfamily incest, but I think it’s also being polished as a premium brand with better thematic eroticism than I’ve seen in professional stuff, and I think a lot of it is really the work of behind the camera and even below the line talent
The direction is – all of this off tube site selections of course – porn aside, it’s someone who can actually shoot film, with a visual logic of shot progression and focus. Just the way that in moving through space it feels like a film and not reality TV. And the porn’s not aside! When it gets down to things that gets put in service of a well-done and really erotic progression of attention.
I sure don’t recognize any of the actresses from elsewhere so I can’t compare but you get such consistently strong performances from the famously iffy porn star talent – less line delivery than expressing a strong understanding of changing dynamics between characters – that I have to think to credit direction.
Also like I say below the line – lighting, styling, makeup, and hair is all really on point – the last three notable for how well they cope with the first without exhibiting any of the marks of San Fernando Valley porn industry style, this whole production really comes off as porn produced by non-specialist entertainment professionals. I suppose it’s also kind of a “look what we can do” brag that the multi-brand Nubiles portfolio is now strong enough to support real staff depth.
Videos are “tagged” with themes including #FreeUse (on stuff that is not really Free Use…), so you can tell they have some awareness of what’s going on out there in erotic memespace. With all the user-created stuff out there on PornHub, Reddit, OnlyFans, A03, I think we’re really in a golden age of the erotic in erotica
Feeling psychically bad today. It’s not the anxiety back – I don’t expect anything bad – and my standard mood test, judging how I feel about the architecture of the neighborhood, I’m not evaluating things more pessimistically, but still. Feels bad man.
Well the good news is I seem to have moved from developing balancer muscles at the junction between my pelvic girdle and lower back to muscles for even finer balancing between the pelvic girdle and upper thigh, the bad news is ow
thinking about the 2000s waif-fu thing and how there was a like 10 year old girl named Emma at the dojo in LA who had basically been training since she could walk, whose parents were both JPL rocket scientists and who could disassemble any of us if allowed
Yesterday at the dispensary I was like “I’d like to try those elderberry CBN gummies” meaning buy a pack but the budtender just gave me one, felt kinda weird to accept a sample of a sleep drug honestly
3 years on my fingers have recovered enough flexibility and response to pass for normal but I’m still holding out for a bit more to pick up the banjo again.
(Not to make it sound like I was more than just learning before, but it’s a stringed instrument a percussionist can make sound good quite trivially)
It first struck all at once when I was in my bedroom at the end of the night, I struggled to bed, fell asleep, and was still so weak on waking my resting breath didn’t completely cycle the air in my lungs, so I manually took deep breaths.
That made me feel marginally better so I tried hyperventilating, that made me feel marginally better yet, enough to struggle to the kitchen.
I grabbed a few chunks of dried pineapple to eat and that made me even marginally better still, but I was still absolutely feeble.
I had a clever generalist’s understanding of things, though.
“Huh, more oxygen helps… more blood sugar helps… but even together they’re not enough. This sounds like an issue with aerobic energy generation.”
And I knew that creatine enables anaerobic energy generation from fat, which can be drawn on when energy demand exceeds aerobic capacity, and I had some on hand and I thought “may as well try”, so moving as if gravity was 3 times as strong I took a few scoops in a cup of water, shook it up, gulped down, a few minutes later I did in fact feel better so I did it again and I was back to normal.
And then I mad scientist laughed my ass off, I’m extremely proud of that one, made me feel like Batman reasoning his way out of the Riddler’s trap.
This was the new effect from my second case, which means my first hadn’t fully worn off and I had like 40% physical and 60% mental function max even before this.
The iron thing didn’t show up til my 6th case, at first I was just like “oh I underestimated the aerobic fatigue gotta take more creatine” but it got worse every day and felt different, specifically heavy in my blood, and I was like “uhh I guess this kinda reminds me of anemia? Let’s pick up some iron supplements” and THAT was it
how did you arrive at creatine as the solution, was it a craving or something like that

I understand that you are confident in your self-diagnosis, but even assuming it's perfectly accurate and a complete explanation, wouldn't it be a learning experience for a doctor to confirm your hypothesis? For the doctor, that is. Even if your healing has progressed too long for you to make a great case study, experience is a powerful teacher and can help the physician treat others with your condition- including those who are not as recovered as you are.
[2/2] It really can be a transformative experience for a doctor to meet an articulate and informed patient going through something unusual. As someone with a seemingly fairly unique or at least severely underresearched presentation of a medical condition, the specialists I see are often grateful for the opportunity to learn about it in a hands-on, human way, even when they determine they aren’t able to contribute substantially to my health.
I really do think the insistence that I take my physical-maintenance issues to a doctor such that when I point out there’s no instrumental benefit to be gained they start backfilling reasons to the point it’s framed as for the doctor’s benefit reflects people’s internalization of a medical priesthood model
Like if I could see a way to be of benefit to doctors as a whole, like just pass on the message “in cases of fatigue at least try iron and/or creatine” in a newsletter, but I really do not expect some rando getting a checkup with whoever Kaiser assigns me for general practice to be a useful entry point there
