I Remember Adults Telling Me, As A Kid, To Listen To Doctors And Get My Flu Vaccine And Any Shots I Could

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.

then they started fighting Covid precautions.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.

now my parents think climate change is a myth.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.

then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.

now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.

you can guess who they voted for.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.

when did they forget?

i stream classic games btw :)

the rootinest tootinest cowboy around

i would still love you if you were a worm this and that-

i would make a really elaborate terrarium compost worm habitat where you would live the rest of your worm days happily

or i would eat you.

no in-between

i need the help of crocheters everywhere!!!

im making a shawl for my best friend and i found a lovely pattern for it. the thing is, i only got about half way through when i lost the pattern!!!

and let me tell ya its like this thing dropped of the face of the earth.

i found it the first time by scouring google for like an hour and it was just perfect. there was a yourube tutorial for it and im nearly positive that the title was something like

‘beginner crochet shawl tutorial’

but i swear im going insane cause ive been searching for weeks for this thing. it was a simple pattern that was a mix of double crochets and singles with some front and back post stitches in there.

it was a triangle shawl but im 100% certain it was not a granny square style one and it didnt have big gaps in it either, its meant to be warm, so i dont believe there were really any treble crochets in there either. and it was not a one or two row repeat situation either. there was like 5-7 row repeats to give it cool texture.

i remember there was apart of the video that paused on the rows to repeat as well and it was like a written part on the screen.

even if this pattern was completely deleted off the internet, i would like to know so i can at least frog and start over with a different pattern, cause its driving me insane. i just need to know

please help me find this pattern!!!

heres part of it so it can be compared

I recently joined a knitting/crochet/craft club where its really just everyone doing their own projects while gossiping - and it is just filled with little old ladies and they love me and have decided to adopt me

today one lady had the realization that i am young and (as they put it) cute and very very single

so now she is trying to set me up with her grandson which is really really funny cause while i am gay, none of them realize that i am in fact a man and not just a masculine woman and i dont have the heart to tell them im not a girl 😅

i love my many new grandmas and theyre just so so funny
