Stupid Twitter cutting me off after a certain point, without fail...
Sometimes it's possible to go further by searching from:[user] until:[date of last accessible tweet] filter:media.
By the way, Twitter filenames have embedded timestamps that are usually close but not exactly equal to the date the tweet was posted on. To retrieve the date from the filename (or URL) you can use this bookmarklet:
javascript:(()=>{url2mk=u=>u.split('/').pop().replace(/[.?:].*/, "");mk2id=mk=>new DataView(Uint8Array.from(atob(mk.replace(/_/g,'/').replace(/-/g,'+')),m=>m.codePointAt(0)).buffer).getBigUint64();id2date=id=>new Date(Number(1288834974657n+(id>>22n)));prompt("Image date", id2date(mk2id(url2mk(prompt("Image URL or filename", window.location)))).toISOString())})()
For file://EzR7lLuVIAI4yrz.jpg the date is 2021-04-18T19:35:46.095Z. If you search from:FerdysLab9 until:2021-04-19 filter:media, the second result under the Latest tab will be https://twitter.com/FerdysLab9/status/1383866867136090113, the source of this image.

Oh my god, thank you so so much. This will be a lifesaver in sourcing some of these things I got.
