A few weeks ago a dear friend of mine had a medical emergency during which they were not fully able to communicate. A few of us ended up taking them to the ER after informal evaluation by a doctor friend who happened to be with us. It was a scary incident at the time. 🧵1/

It is important to have emergency contacts set up on your phone in case of an emergency. If you are unable to communicate, your emergency contacts will be able to help you get the help you need. 🧵/end

The new UI color theme in google maps makes me feel like I’m on Rainbow Road in Mario Kart.

You should have had another try at “proper” quotes.

Did you know that a HUGE development project is being quickly shuffled through the approval process, on a parcel of land almost completely surrounded by our beloved FRICK PARK? Wouldn't it be nice to learn a bit more about this project before it becomes a reality? 1/3

Just walked through it last night! I’ve been watching with excited anticipation for a few weeks. A great alternative to the intersection at 40th & Butler

🎉 ATTN ppl who walk / bike in @lvpgh: A new underpass with a big impact just opened under the 40th St bridge, leading to a brand new section of trail through the Arsenal 201 development between 39th & 40th. ..This makes a safe passageway between lower and upper Lawrenceville!

USB-C chargers from @AnkerOfficial, @Apple, @google in order. One *marginally* accessible to naked eye (w contacts lol). Why is light gray on light gray standard? Would be so easy to do better, incl. larger power info. Lighting: Optimal, good, poor. #accessibility #ffs

I support this program but why oh why did it take this long to publish this route? My SO and others work Sundays and this impacts their commute. I live in an area locked in by this, and I wish they could get routes out sooner. 🫠

This is not NIMBY. This is PIMBYBWBN - Please In My Back Yard But With Better Notice. 🙃 This is a wonderful program; why can’t the communication around it be as wonderful?
