So the @pixelfed Kickstarter has officially launched, and it's already well on its way to meeting the goal.

Good luck @dansup, and here's hoping for a more diverse fediverse.

MyChart is fun because you see things you otherwise wouldn't see, like that a provider/nurse once heard you say you take Zyrtec for allergies and they marked it down as having an allergy TO Zyrtec.

Dear pedestrians crossing Dearborn at Lake St: all i ask is that you do ONE of the following

Look both ways
Take out your headphones
Cross only on green

Just one! I truly don’t care if you jaywalk! But bikes have a green light and you are jumping right in front of me even when I’m yelling at you!

@draco Oh I'm sure there is; I'm just Polish so that's where my brain jumped.

Gene's is definitely German, though, so that's a good place to call. If they don't have them, they may be able to direct you somewhere that does.

@WarnerCrocker I have an ancient apple watch and haven't had any issues but I'm not on watchOS 11 with it. Mine might be too old to get updates anymore.

@WarnerCrocker Not sure which watch exactly he has but my partner was having similar problems. He turned off a lot of background processes and the smart charging where it doesn't charge all the way to 100%. That didn't help at first so he did a hard power cycle on the watch and his phone and now it's behaving normally. Not sure exactly which step actually is the fix!

It was crazy, he'd lose like 30% in the morning & end up getting a low battery alert by dinner.

I'm trying to do better to manage the ways my body hoards physical stress responses (getting shingles will do that to you) but the more I think about it/try to take deep breaths, stretch, etc., the more I feel MORE stressed lol
@draco Also, if they are the same as the sour cherries used in Polish cooking, there are a bunch of Polish delis on the northwest side.
@draco I wonder if Gene's Sausage Shop and Deli would carry them? https://www.genessausage.com/
