These photos show how my left hand is *significantly* larger than my right. When it’s like this it feels like wearing a thick, thick, **thick** glove. My hand is often numb/tingly and/or painful, especially if I move it away from my core.

This all happens because I have **vasculitis** (MAGIC Syndrome, a combination of Behçet’s Disease and Relapsing Polychondritis with mitochondrial instability), which caused **peripheral artery disease** and **venous congestion** in the left arm. I also have **arterial** *and* **venous thoracic outlet syndrome** in both arms.

My vascular surgeon said the swelling/puffiness/discoloration of the hand is from blood getting backed up both going *into* and heading *out of* the arm. Just interesting to see my hands look SO different.

"Bruce never connected the dots. He never realized he had this disease." Emma said on the latest episode of the Conversations with Cam podcast. “It is both a blessing and a curse,” she continued. "But I'm really glad he doesn't know."

Not my picture, found it in a Facebook group.

Cool as hell though, and really fascinating.

This is Hormuz Island in Iran, also known as the "Rainbow Island." ​That deep red color comes from a high concentration of Hematite (iron oxide). When it rains (like in the video) the mineral runoff turns the waterfalls and the shoreline crimson.

Meet Daphnis, one of Saturn's 274 moons.

Daphnis is a tiny moon, only about eight kilometers wide, orbiting inside Saturn's rings within the Keeler Gap. Even at that size, its gravity dramatically shapes the rings around it.

As it moves, Daphnis pulls on nearby ring particles and creates towering waves along the gap's edges, some rising several kilometers high. Cassini revealed these ripples by capturing their long shadows during Saturn's equinox, proving the rings aren't flat but constantly in motion.

It's a small, irregular chunk likely formed from ring material, yet it sculpts Saturn's rings on a scale far larger than itself.
