tw: some ED and body dysmorphia things--skip down to the links

A Physical Education describes the time in my life from roughly 2013 to 2018, which coincided with the rise of smartphones and social media. This means I have photos to go along with virtually all of the events described.[^1] So I thought it might be nice to trawl through all my archives and pull together some of these photos, combined with relevant excerpts from the book itself. Folks who have already read the book may enjoy seeing some pictures to go along with what they read; folks who haven’t yet may enjoy getting a taste of what’s to come.

Without further ado, may I present: A Physical Education: The Photo Album.
