#Photosensitive

2026-01-09

Got my glasses prescription updated and debating options. I work in a place with fluorescent light most of the day. I'm fairly photosensitive and have frequent headaches and occasional migraines.

I've had two pairs of transitions, convenient but neither as good as sunglasses of course.

So options I'm looking at are new transitions (maybe Xtractive?). FL-41s, or the classic 1 regular and 1 sunglasses pair. Thoughts/experiences appreciated.

RACINES 1/2
2025

Racines est un inventaire sensible, poétique et photographique des arbres remarquables du jardin de la Pouponnière.  Chaque image agit comme une carte d’identité végétale. Les plantes ne sont plus seulement sujets de l’image, mais deviennent agents actifs de sa transformation. Ce travail s’inscrit dans une démarche expérimentale et écologique, où le procédé du cyanotype, combiné aux vertus tinctoriales des plantes, révèle une forme d’alchimie discrète entre nature et image, où chaque fragment photographique porte la trace unique d’un être vivant. Chaque tirage a été viré à partir d’une décoction réalisée avec les feuilles ou aiguilles de l’arbre qu’il représente — comme une empreinte végétale singulière de l’individu photographié.

----

Ce triptyque célèbre un if commun, un arbre emblématique du jardin. Trois photographies en révèlent la présence : le feuillage qui s’élève, le tronc qui s’impose et les racines qui s’ancrent dans la terre.

----

💥 "Racines" est visible à la @pouponniere_lille jusqu'au 8 Novembre 2025 dans le cadre de l'exposition "En attendant l'orage".

Last night, I tried to watch A New Hope for the first time in decades. Within the first five minutes, the flashing lights triggered a #migraine (not the laser fire itself, but the way the screen periodically went white when there was a hit).

The last time I watched Star Wars was on DVD and I don't remember this. Is it something to do with the upscaling? Disney Plus? My own device?

If it's part of the film, I'm really confused why there's no warning for #photosensitive viewers at the beginning.

Would really appreciate my fellow #disabled peeps helping me out with this one, because I'd like to watch Star Wars again.

Strobe lights are one of the largest banes of my existence. It’s difficult, and personally embarrassing, to be a highly sensitive jam band fan. #phish #highlysensitive #highlysensitiveperson #photosensitive #photosensitivity

If anyone reading this has clinical (or other) experience with photosensitive epilepsy and would like to help me out, please could you watch this video and let me know whether it needs a warning? There are no actual strobe effects, but there are things that briefly flash onto the screen and disappear a few times.

Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Why Apple Vision Pro constantly strobing matters to your health

Apple Vision Pro is constantly flashing the user. It's not as obvious as a strobe light at a rave or party, but it is happening constantly. There are three main types of health impacts from strobing lights — flicker vertigo, photosensitive epilepsy, and general photosensitivity.

We're watching all of #StrangerThings again from the beginning. It's a brilliant program and we loved all of it but I REALLY HATE its use of flashing images. Some of the best scenes are ruined for me because I just can't bear to watch them though the extreme flashing. It makes me very uncomfortable. I certainly don't think the scenes would be suitable for anyone who has #photosensitive #epilepsy. Such a shame. All down to a bad production decision.

FYI- there’s an #iOS17 final #concept #video being shared

If you’re #PhotoSensitive, experience #epilepsy-like symptoms because of #flashing, #suffer from #vertigo or have concerns about similar #triggers, then you might want to give it a pass

I might be. 🤔 But the sight of #blood makes me faint, so i haven't fed in decades. Which probably explains me being so pale and #anemic. And the dermatologist did say I need to use sunblock even while indoors under artificial light (nah, I don't do it), and to avoid sun exposure (lest I get fried). #photosensitive #vampire #ImKiddingOfCourse 🤪
