So crazy how you have the worst day of your life but then the next day the sun keeps shining and the air’s just a little cooler w the onset of fall and you realize that there’s nothing you can’t come back from because the only time it will ever be too late is when we’re dead and not ever before

[stuckinapril]

I vividly remember talking to one of my favorite professors about how I’m scared things will fall apart after graduation and how I’m so unused to change and her just going “if things fall apart then they do and u just pick up the pieces and start over again and it’s fine. Things falling apart is not this mammoth fear u should be worried about” and I remember these words every time I want to pursue or seize something bc literally the worst thing that can happen is it doesn’t work out ….. and then I just pick up the pieces and start all over again

r/knitting post of the day by u/Optimus_FineAsHell:

I was unknowingly working on a 35 foot long blanket for years

I started a blanket 10 years ago and put it down shortly after starting. It was on 30” circulars and I just kept casting on until I couldn’t fit anymore stitches. I was new to the hobby so I figured it would just be “blanket sized.”

I picked it back up about 6 months ago determined to finally finish this thing. I transferred it to 60” circulars to give myself more working space, and during that transfer I counted 450ish stitches, but that would just be a big king sized blanket right? So I kept going. But after about 9 balls of yarn and only 2 feet in length finished, I gave up and decided I would just crochet the blanket instead.

Halfway through my crocheted version, I ran out of yarn and made the sad decision to frog the knitted project for salvage yarn. After removing the circular needles, I thought it’d be interesting to see how wide the blanket actually was.

After straightening it all out I stared at my work, utterly dumbfounded, that I had been working on a 35 foot wide blanket this whole time. I am SO GLAD I did not finish this project as I would’ve cried at the monster I had brought into the world.

tl;dr - You should really pay attention to the size reference chart on your yarn and count the stitches when free-handing as a newbie.

And finally, the blanket:

Today is the day Savita Halappanavar died due to pro-life policies in Ireland. It’s been 13 years since her death. She should be 44.

On October 21 at just 17 weeks pregnant, Savita went to hospital for what would later be determined to be a miscarriage.

After examinations found the miscarriage was inevitable and her water had broken, Savita asked for an abortion but because the fetus still had a heartbeat it was illegal for doctors to perform one, being told ‘this is a Catholic country.’

Savita developed sepsis within days of going to hospital and on the 28th of October died from cardiac arrest. She was just 31.

Her death sparked outrage around the world and in Ireland. In December of 2018, Irish voters passed the Thirty-Sixth Amendment of the Constitution, which repealed the Eighth Amendment (a law which prohibited abortion) and empowered the Oireachtas parliament to make abortion legal.

I want to take this moment to remember her, and all the lives lost to anti-abortion laws around the world.

May Savita find peace.

Referring to someone as your “partner” sounds as if you are deliberately obscuring their gender and may subtly out you. “My ex”, however, is entirely unobtrusively gender-neutral. #breakupallrelationships
