Since then, I’ve had headaches, dizzy spells, and sensitivity to light and movement. I’m now taking it easy, and cutting back on bathroom cabinet use. 🤭05 Nov 2026 07:28 +0000at://did:plc:rf3gkeqcssavdu5w2cpf2e2m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzkdtjoykc26https://bsky.app/profile/evasilvertant.bsky.social/post/3mzjetb2u622hI lost another 2.1 kg (5 lbs) this week! 8.6 kg lost since 7 October.

Then he suddenly looked up at me, revealing these creepy, constricted pupils! It was particularly striking because his pupils are usually so dilated that he looks like a cartoon character. 🤭24 Oct 2026 05:29 +0000at://did:plc:rf3gkeqcssavdu5w2cpf2e2m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mylxlnhifc25https://bsky.app/profile/evasilvertant.bsky.social/post/3mylsj2t5ek2kI hurt myself in the most ridiculous way.

I couldn’t find the magnification button in the dark (unfamiliar camera), so I didn’t get the focus right… Still, it’s surprising how much detail you can pull from the data with some processing, as you can see in the first image.23 Oct 2026 09:05 +0000at://did:plc:rf3gkeqcssavdu5w2cpf2e2m/app.bsky.feed.post/3myjt6htcgc25https://bsky.app/profile/evasilvertant.bsky.social/post/3myhal7lmpc25Peachy Photo taken with a 1956–1957 Leidolf Wetzlar Lordon 50mm ƒ/1.9.
