#OTD in 1892 – Death of Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore.

Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore served as a musician and stretcher-bearer in the 24th Massachusetts Infantry during the American Civil War. His incredible post-army musical career includes penning “When Johnny Comes Marching Home”, the tune he took from an old Irish antiwar folk song, “Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye”, that was published under the name Louis Lambert. He performed some of the biggest musical…

Interestingly renovated 1953 home in Fort Lauderdale, FL. 7bds, 7ba, 2,583 sqft, $1.8m. It's set up to be an Airbnb.

They did it over in white to appeal to new buyers, but used splashes of color with furniture, and in this room, the stairs, too. There was a stone wall that they painted white, I wonder what color it was.

Because it has lots of bedrooms and baths, they were using it as an Airbnb, hence, the Exit sign. They chose a pale blue for the counter/island and matching tile with added gray, plus blue light fixtures.

Nice kitchen. I see that they painted another full stone wall white.

Very nice mural and another stone wall. So, this home had a lot of decorative stone that they covered up.

The first two bedrooms are long and narrow. Here, they're using slight color on the wall, but the bed is a bright blue and they used coordinating textiles and a painted ceiling border.

Two baths with the same tile. The tile is very pretty, but I don't know why they picked those wall colors.

A 3rd long room. Interesting. Half a painted wall and another simple wallpaper pattern.

I wonder how this painted brick shower will hold up.

Despite the reno, the house is really showing its mid century modern roots under all the brick and stone.

So, the same tile was used in all 7 bathrooms.

I wonder if they closed this in to make a hallway. It's more of a loggia, now.

I'm really unsure if I would've preferred the natural brick and stone to bring out the original character of the home.

Looks like they added the pink walls to a patio and it's kind of tight for the ping pong table.

This home is nothing but bedrooms and baths. This shower room is huge. I would eliminate some of the bedrooms, and make a family room, home office, art studio, library, etc.

This small bright room would be a nice art studio. It's pretty cramped for a bedroom. These people with their Airbnbs.

The grounds are nice, beautiful pool and the giant chess set.

Pool and the obligatory fire pit.

0.83 acre lot.

🌸🍀 Hello and welcome to our (first) Flufftober Spring Edition 🌸🍀

SURPRISE 😁

Yes, we've decided that one month of the year simply isn't enough anymore! So we would like to fill two weeks in March with as much fluff as possible 🥰 for that to happen, we present you with 14 prompts, some of them neutral, some very much sping-themed.

How does this work?

Pretty much like our regular Flufftober event in October, so you'll find all the common rules and info below the cut. Contrary to the big event though, this one here only runs for two weeks instead of the entire month, and we set the date from March 11th to March 24th! So prompt one is NOT supposed to be posted on March 1st but instead on March 11th! Prompt two is for March 12th, prompt 3 for March 13th, and so on...

Since this is a smaller prompt list, you also won't find any prompt extras to switch these out with, sorry. Maaaybe if this event is a success, we'll think about changing that in upcoming years 😉

Below the cut, you'll find all our rules, posting info, and all the prompts in writing. If you have any more questions, please feel free to send us asks 🥰

Friends, we so hope you love this surprise and that the prompts may inspire a lot of fluffy creations! We wish you a great start to the new year and as always

Happy Creating 🥳

Standard Blog Rules & FAQ

(Due to previous asks, we made sure to add more points to this section - while they're not new rules, they're new to this list, so you'll find them colored green)

No inc*st or p*dophilia - we can’t keep you from writing it or creating art for it but it won’t be reblogged. No inc*st: This rule does not apply to distant cousins and such, as you might find in the LotR fandom (or basically in all of European Monarchy). The line we draw is at direct blood relations (siblings, (grand)parents, kids) and/or legal guardianship. No p*dophilia: This rule does not rule out fandoms that feature teenagers such as Harry Potter, Heartstoppers, Hunger Games, etc. It also doesn't mean you can't write about their time together as teenagers! It's aimed at ships in which one is a minor and the other is not - but since even that has grey areas, the rule is this: if you keep it SFW, all is good and allowed, we don't care; if it turns NSFW, be mindful of the legalities of the world/society/times your characters live in.

No hate or ship bashing - we’re all different and we all love different things. As long as it doesn’t go against rule #1, it’s allowed.

Tag correctly! Trigger warnings (including cheating!), ships, ratings, (pure) smut, etc - it’s all fine as long as you tag it.

There’s absolutely no word count restriction, write as little or as much as you like.

In regards to art, anything goes: drawings, paintings, collages, mood boards, gif sets, videos, playlists… the sky’s the limit (though not really…). If you would like to create a podfic, the fic you're using does not have to be new - your creation will be new!

You can mix and mash different mediums however you like, be it within one prompt or on different days.

While we can’t force you to write fluff or create fluffy art, please try to keep in mind that this is a fluff event 😉 that, of course, doesn't mean you can't combine it with angsty/whumpy prompts - hurt/comfort is absolutely welcome!

You can start creating as soon as you see this - but please refrain from posting before the respective day.

If you post early, we will schedule your post for the correct day; if you use multiple prompts in one creation, we will post on the earliest day you used.

You can participate on as many days as you like, even if it’s just one; you can also create multiple entries for the same day.

You can replace as many original prompts as you like with our prompt extras; you can also combine them with the original prompts or create for them in addition, that's completely up to you.

It’s okay to write one story/a series for all the prompts.

You do not have to stick to one character, ship, or even one fandom - switch as often as you like to or even write for multiple ships for one day.

The ship does not have to be a romantic one! Friendship and family feels are more than welcome (but this is not a way to get around rule #1!)

Original works as well as OCs in fandoms are welcome! But please make sure to mark these clearly, either in the tags or the post itself. We're not familiar with all fandoms (though we're definitely learning a lot!), so we're not always sure what might be an OC and what might be such an unknown side character not even Google can find them...

Reader insert fics (for example "character x reader") as well as RPFs are absolutely allowed.

Other languages are also welcome - just make sure to clearly mark the day and fandom so that we can still easily reblog.

This event can be combined with other events as long as the other event allows it.

Late entries are always welcome, even if it is months or years later.

All fandoms and ships are welcome - fanon and canon - as long as they’re of age (in case you want to add smut) and not related.

Posting

Posting to tumblr

Please use the tag #fluffspring2024 Make sure there is NO SPACE between fluff and spring and 2024! We will NOT be checking other variations of this tag!

Since tags are sometimes wonky, make sure to also mention us with @flufftober in your post

We will try to catch them all, but please don't be mad if we miss a post or if it gets reblogged a bit late

If you're absolutely certain a post has slipped past us, feel free to send an ask with the link to your post

To make reblogging easier for us, make sure to add the following tags: #fluffspring2024 #day [xy] #[fandom] #[ship and/or main character(s)]

Posting to ao3

You can add your creation to the collection Flufftober Spring Edition 2024 (flufftober_spring_edition_2024)

Late entries are always welcome, on tumblr as well as the ao3 collection! Neither will close - but like always, reblogs will become less regular the more months have passed...

Falls City (1860)

The last ghost town of Minneapolis was roughly three and a half miles southeast of downtown Minneapolis along the Mississippi River known as Falls City. Falls City was a relative latecomer to Minneapolis, platted just a year before the incorporation of Minneapolis 1857 by landowner H. C. Keith. Keith’s Falls City was a paper town that stretched from the Mississippi River to 31st Ave S. The town’s northern border was E. 24th St. whereas its southern border was E. Lake St.

Falls City was a result of rampant claim staking on Fort Snelling’s lands during the 1850s. During these years, desirable locations throughout what would become Minneapolis were claimed by Euro-American settlers hoping to make a profit on the platting & selling of land parcels. Whereas many of these early settlers were driven out by Fort Snelling soldiers, Keith managed to keep his lands out of the hands of Fort Snelling. When Minneapolis was incorporated in 1858, Keith ceded his plans for Falls City, opting to join his land with Minneapolis. For a few years after the incorporation of Minneapolis, Falls City remained on maps.

Metro station build: 24th St. & Mission BART (San Francisco, CA)

wanted to try building a real life metro station, tried to get this one as close as i could to the real one with a few liberties taken (escalators are a lil different, real station doesn't have bathrooms, need to tweak the ceiling on the platform level etc.) only a few more things to add, I'd like to upload a schematic anyone can download when I'm done ^_^ (with a list of mod links because i used quite a few here)
