Hello

@ligistrarsstuff

If you're looking for a good, centralized collection of fundraisers for people and organizations doing on-the-ground work in Minnesota right now, someone on Bluesky put together a great resource hub for things like food support, rent relief, mutual aid, and immigrants' rights centers that I'd really love to see spread around.

And if you're local to the Twin Cities, there's a "Take Action" section with links to ways to get active, as well as some resource guides for legal observers, etc.

Those of us here in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the metro area appreciate every bit of support we can get right now, especially with the federal government cutting off things like SNAP benefits for Minnesotans and threatening further retaliation. Keep us in your thoughts, and maybe pick a cause to support, if you can.

Reblogging to add that the person who put this together has turned it into a full-fledged website, if that's any easier to spread around!

My resolution last year was to do one thing before bed that would make my morning feel easier, and that’s become a daily habit that I’m carrying into this new year.

Some nights even filling up the kettle and setting an empty mug out for my morning tea felt hard. But I was always thankful for it in the morning.

Other nights, one thing would lead to another, and I’d wake up in a clean house with everything ready to go.

And, on a rare few nights, the one thing that I could do to make my morning easier was going straight to bed and allowing myself to rest.

What stayed the same each day is that I would take a moment to think of what I could do for my future self and do it, even after a hard day. And I would wake up knowing that I had done my best and any effort—no matter how small—was a kindness to myself.

I just love this

I do it a lot here anyway, but allow me a moment to get on my archivist soapbox because this is not only cool af but important too.

The US National Archives (and this may certainly apply to other countries but this post is about this specific institution) has a lot of material. And that may seem like an obvious statement, but what I mean to say here is that it has a lot of unprocessed material.

“Processing”, in the archive world, is the word we use to mean “organizing the collection materials in a way that makes sense and describing the collection so people know what’s there”. Essentially, processing a collection or material is what makes it accessible to researchers. Think about how you organize yourself or your space. Most of the time when we acquire material we get it exactly how the creator kept it, which is ranges from neat as a pin to literal garbage dump, but mostly falls into the middle area of somewhat organized but also not really. Processing gives the archivist “intellectual control” (we go through everything so we now know exactly what’s in the collection) and gives researchers something to look at that’s a lot more manageable.

But, like I said, the National Archives has a lot of material. Which at this point includes a massive backlog. So what they have done, with the advent of the internet, is turned to crowdsourcing. (Using a large group of volunteers over the internet to accomplish more than the few people who work for the archive can do, and/or using group knowledge and skills that they don’t have to their advantage. Wikipedia or any fandom wiki is an example of crowdsourcing.) This is a long process, because anything they put up has to be digitized first, and that is not as easy as it sounds. I won’t rant here, but it’s time consuming, labor intensive, and in some cases not even feasible with the material.

Anyway, the National Archives crowdsources through a program that they call “citizen archivists”. It’s something that’s free and obligationless, it’s totally voluntary and you do things like add tags to pictures, transcribe documents that are handwritten or otherwise not word-searchable, and add comments about things that are missing information or context.

The reason I bring this up is because they have divided the work into what they call “missions”, basically just categories of material to work on. They have a new one that’s just been made public (likely because they finally got the digitization completed) that is a large collection of pictures consisting of Native subjects, and they need help tagging them.

So if you feel antsy and need something to do or you feel down and you want something positive, consider helping out the National Archives. Because the work the citizen archivists do makes the materials more accessible to the public, and ultimately to any and all future researchers out there. 

Please do this! Its really helpful, especially for researchers

the Library of Congress has something similar- I’ve been transcribing Spanish legal documents for them

Washing James’s hair is just as impossible as taming it. He hardly keeps still, bending in to kiss her chest and neck when he sees fit, tipping his head back to laugh, swivelling at random with the expressiveness of his words. Worst of all, he isn’t even sorry that it takes triple the amount of time to wash the suds out as it should, grinning cheekily as he pulls her down into the water to give her a submerged kiss.

thank you yallthemwitches, i was really close to doing some actual work but now i'm (very happily) reading this instead

Justin posted the 1956 house he and his wife bought in Jasper, Indiana. It is a complete time capsule. Absolutely NOTHING has been updated or touched.  

Everything is still here- look at the appliances. All original. This is not like the classy expensive updated mid century homes we’ve seen before. 

The furniture has to be the original pieces and sets the previous owners bought. 

The wall hangings are aged.

This is an interesting piece, this bar. 

Look at the bathroom- pink fixtures.

Those lamps!

The master bath has a yellow tub and fixtures.

A 2nd bdm. Even the bedding is vintage.

And, this bath has blue Fixtures. Wow, I would definitely keep them.

More cool lamps and original furniture in the knotty pine family room. 

Wow, look at the built-ins in the office.

The lower floor.

The basement is cool- look at that floor! And, the TV. The bar is classic. I wonder if they were leaving any of this.

Off the rec room is a 2nd kitchen. A pink fridge!

And, there’s this room, too. Look at the stone wall.

for the love of old houses

I’m reblogging this just because it’s great reference. Who knows if i ever get the chance to draw a fifties living room?

@teatotally – please join me in whimpering with a strong need to go to there.

Wow, honestly this is the first time I’ve seen a pristine 50s house that made me go “Oh THAT’S why they made those choices”??? Like, you usually only see old houses looking VERY worn-down and kinda sad, but this looks like we time-traveled into the past when it was new and tidy, and suddenly some of those choices that feel odd today make SENSE, because while they were new and loved, the now-odd furniture and appliance colors and whatnot look NICE. It’s still an “outdated” style but it doesn’t look “old.” Very neat glimpse at history!

This is so cool plus my hometown which is WILD to find on here…..

I don’t know why I cant reblog (I’ll never fully understand this platform!) but you shared a post about a house in Jasper Indiana and that’s my hometown and I think that may be my cousins wife’s parents house. Ha! Couldn’t believe it but I can believe someone from Jasper built a home, furnished it and never updated it again! Classic Jasper but such a cool home. Anyway nothing Jily which is why I follow you but I felt the odd need to comment and since the post is locked down here I am 😆🫣

I have no idea why you can't reblog! I know others have reblogged this post from me...

But that is so cool!! I did wonder if the house just hadn't been used or it had been used but very well-maintained. Some of that stuff is hard to find/fix, though if you have money, I guess...! I have a friend who bought a house from what must be the 30s and renovated it and furnished it in the exact style and it's so fabulous!!

Honestly, I think any style can look good if clean and well-maintained, but we love a bit of colour!

The post in question, for those curious!

(And no worries! It might be Jily that brought me to Tumblr but I love this bit-of-everything vibe here ;) )

So yeah figured out my issue 🫣 but yea it’s a very frugal old German American town and they are known for liking high quality items but using their high quality things until it is no longer possible! It’s the one trait I’ve maintained from my upbringing even though I lived away some 30 years ago now!

Marauders-era short fic. Summer between 5th and 6th year, the boys see pictures from Narcissa’s wedding and realize that something is up with Sirius (spoiler alert, the something is the imperius curse)

Wonderful characterization and dynamics

it's the last day of the newt half-term mock exams and word is that their godawful in so many ways potions professor fenrin is retiring mid-schoolyear and the gryffindors threw a party because of course, of course, and the prefects and the heads of house turned a blind eye on the atrocious amount of alcohol procured for that party and james potter has never, ever, seen lily evans this drunk before.

he's not sure if he's more amused or concerned about it.

music blares from all sides of the common room, confetti and bottle caps are strewn across the floor, and she smells like firewhiskey. and — smores. he doesn't know what she's doing here, or how she even managed to locate him in the chaos. where the hell did she even come from? all of a sudden she's just here, right in front of him, staring up at him rather intensely. she braces a hand against the wall and the movement makes james lean back. her wrist is warm and solid against his arm.

"hi," he greets her, curious.

she just blinks at him.

"evans?"

"shush."

he cocks an eyebrow at her.

@fluffuary Day 1: Gift-Giving

Fandom: Harry Potter (Marauders Era)

Pairing: James Potter x Lily Evans (background pairings: Sirius x OC, Severus x Remus)

Rating: T

Chapter word count: 1,384 (total 3 chapters planned)

Summary:

When some of the orphaned kids who visit the soup kitchen where James volunteers throw together a surprise party, using their meager belongings to create a gift that moves him, he convinces his parents to organize a Yuletide feast for them in their lavish home.

Companion piece to Vulnera Sanentur

~~~

The air outside was cold enough to freeze his bloody bollocks off. James watched his breath turn into a lively fog, and idly wondered how quickly frostbite would set in in this tundra.

The thought of frostbite, however, brought a grin to his face as he remembered the Marauders’ antics at this year’s Winter Solstice Ball. Definitely one for the record books.

Godric’s fucking gonads! James tensed as a particularly strong gust of wind swept the street on his way to Hogsmeade Helpers.

If someone told him just months ago that he’d spend even a fraction of his Winter Hols volunteering at a sodding soup kitchen – willingly and enthusiastically – he would have hexed their tongue off and sent them off to St. Mungo’s for a much-needed head examination. But here he was, because he missed those bloody kids.

lily can't sleep. maybe it's the wind, howling outside and rattling the windows, or the bed creaking every time james moves. or maybe it's the faint ringing in her ears that won't shut up, the prickle on her skin and the lump in her throat. she knows what it is, knows what she needs to do, but — she doesn't want to cry. not again.

so she untangles herself from james as discreetly as she can, slips out of bed, and gets out of the room.

it won't always be this way, she thinks as she walks down the short flight of stairs, running a hand through her disheveled hair. she'll get over the initial impact of the prophecy and get back to the regular fucking horrors of the war. she'll get used to the fact that they're nineteen and expecting a baby, their best friends manning battlefield front lines. she'll be fine. it's just the shock, that's all.

(a baby to defeat voldemort. he'll find them, dumbledore said. murder them, he didn't say, but still. must go into hiding... their baby...)

she tries to shut her brain down when she reaches the first floor, focusing solely on the familiar task of making tea. maybe a platter of biscuits too. and a good book from the cluttered pile on the coffee table. she'll spend a few hours by the makeshift window seat james almost broke two fingers building last week. she smiles at the memory of it. she'll watch the sunrise. she hopes it's not too cloudy today. she tilts her head up by instinct, picturing james clearly as if she's standing by their shared bed, over him. she wonders if he'd wake in her absence tonight.

but it's been four nights of falling asleep downstairs and he hasn't said a word. it's just been —

she would wake up on the window seat in the late morning, blanket around her shoulders, and a sleeping, mouth-open, arms-crossed, glasses-askewed husband on the couch.

they don't talk about it.

HELL YEAH DESHITTIFICATION!

For everything we do here, please be sure to be careful with what you edit, and restart your computer to lock things in. If you don't have access to the Group editor, (likely to happen if you're on base windows) you can do this as well by opening your Registry Editor app, then inputting this after your 'computer' or whatever the initial segment is. (Mine is computer. If I just try and paste the below string it gets SO mad at me)

\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot

Navigating to your "turnoffwindowscopilot", hit modify, and set the value data to 1.

If done correctly, it'll look like this.

While we're at it, you can also get rid of the integrated search, (or that thing where it searches the web when you search anything, whether or not you want it to) and such through regedit as well.

Integrated search will have you going to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer

Navigate to your "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" bit, if you don't see it, you can make it by right clicking and creating a new registry D-Word key of that exact name. Edit the key, set it to 1. It'll look like this if you do it right!

To get rid of Windows Spotlight, (The thing where it pulls up ten billion pages on windows start page, shoving ads in your face and cluttering everything) we go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DesktopSpotlight\Settings

And set "Enabled State" To 0. If you do it right, it'll look like this!

Disabling edge on startup will also help a fair deal with processing speed and the like. This you can do in all sorts of ways, the easiest being turning it off entirely on startup through settings in the like.

If you want to kill it *entirely*, though? :)

In regedit, run along to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft

Navigate to your MicrosoftEdge key subcategory. If you don't see it, you can make one! Note, this is a KEY, not a d-word. *inside* that subcategory, we want to either make or find the D-Word key of PreventLaunchEdge and set that to 1 in the same way as all the others. It'll look like this.

Aaaand while we're here, I'd HIGHLY recommend shanking Killer Networking Services. It's just bloatware. (Ostensibly it's supposed to monitor your network bandwidth and even things out, but that really means it's constantly monitoring and pinging things, which eats up the bandwidth you DO get, and also chunks your computer's processing power.) Getting rid of it entirely is borderline impossible, since it's set to redownload on regular updates and intel is very pushy with its updates.

This you can do by opening your Services.msc, which basically shows you all the background stuff that Windows does. Find Anything with Killer in the name, right click it, go to properties, and disable startup. It should look like this, if done successfully. It will probably reenable itself in time/in later updates for windows, but it's a quick fix. I'd also check your TaskScheduler app to make sure that nothing's scheduled to open up there, either.

If you CAN completely kill Killer services through uninstalling and the like, I would warn that at very least for my computer, the only ethernet/lan support applications that are available ARE Killer's. When you download updates, you really do have to do it manually and ONLY download the ethernet services, or just be cool with not having Lan functionality.

One last thing, not a shit application but is a shit service. If your computer's constantly overheating or just warm, you likely have Turboboost enabled. (Default setting that you can't change) If you want to be able to turn it off and drop your temps by like 40 degrees, in Regedit go to

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7

(Note- This isn't the string copy paste from the reddit thread, this is mine that does the same thing. If my string doesn't work for you, check the reddit thread string. If that doesn't work either, you can follow the path and find it pretty easily. Probably has like, one letter of difference somewhere. The bits all start the same, though, so it's easy to find.)

and go to "attributes". Set the value from 1 to 2, and now in your advanced Power Plan settings in control panel, you'll be able to *see* turbo boost and turn it off.

It'll look like this, and in power options, a successful disabling of boost should look like this.

Turning off quick startup's also a good call, since that basically stops your restarts from actually shutting things down properly.

GOOD LUCK OUT THERE YALL. MAKE SURE TO CLEAN YOUR PC!

In the sunlit garden of her sister’s home, Lord Potter had promised Lily a life of her own design, with minimal expectations—her presence at community events, companionship, and an heir. As the two stumble into the routine of marriage and work to make a life together at Stinchcombe Hall, unsolicited feelings provoke each to start wondering if this is merely a marriage…or if it could be something more.

A continuation of this Jilytober entry.

February, Five Months Later “It was bordering on indecent—” “There certainly was a lot of whispering going on. Plenty of tittering mamas.” Peter’s face reddens and he sputters as his eyes dart between Samantha and Sirius from where he sits across from them in the parlor. “It isn’t as if it was my intention! I simply lost track of the number of times Miss Eleanor and I had taken to the floor. I—it—” “Ease off of him, you two,” Graham chastises with a smile as he lifts his glass to his lips. “We don’t need to worry Peter to the point of passing out. We’ve made it the whole night without incident.”

Thank you all so much for your patience with this fic! It definitely took longer than expected to write, but the reception for it has been so overwhelming <3 I hope you enjoy one last little peek into this world!
