i'm standing on the mouth of hell, and it's going to swallow me whole. and it'll choke on me.

so I’m about to be homeless

I’m staying with a friend, my brothers are staying with our father, and my mum doesn’t know where she’ll be staying yet. Because of my amazing friends on twitter I was able to secure a small storage unit for a month (which will hold all of my stuff, but maybe not all of my family’s stuff) and a little leftover. I still am gonna need some money for food and other necessities so that’s why I’m making this post. We need to officially be out by the 9th at 10am. I don’t want my mum to have to sleep in her car or for us to have to give our pets to a shelter (most of them are esa’s), so everything else will go towards trying to secure housing.

Anything y'all can give would help so much. If you can’t then just reblogging this would help a lot.

hey guys can you help me find that old portrait of a girl holding a little painting of a naked dude and cracking up about it?? I want to say it’s by Rembrandt but that’s probably not right

[runwildwithme]

It’s “Smiling Girl, a Courtesan, Holding an Obscene Image” by Gerard van Honthorst!!

[charminglyantiquated]

It’s the best painting that exists

If the subject of Kosciuszko's love life was brought up recently, have you happened to read something about him courting Elizabeth Schuyler before she married Hamilton? I've seen something about it in a Polish article but there were no sources so I couldn't really check how reliable it was.

In a letter from Tadeusz Kosciuszko to his friend John Taylor he wrote in one section:

“… my respects to Mistris Skayler [Schuyler] and miss Kayler do not forgive, to your lady and to all my Friends give my Compliments. You must remember that if I goo to Albany I must be in your hause, Your Friend, Thad Kosciuszko.” 

Kosciuszko was talking about Elizabeth Schuyler or “Betsey”, daughter of Philip Schuyler, a general he had served with. The officer was enamored with her supposedly and a year later she was engaged to Alexander Hamilton.

But Americans, Steuben found, were not like this at all. Over the generations, they had shed much of that ingrained deference to established authority. They did not respect officers just because they were officers. Steuben’s experience on the Grand Parade confirmed his initial assessment of the Continentals. On occasion, the men of the model company were not content merely to do what they had been told to do; they wanted to know why they should do it. “The genius of this nation,” Steuben wrote to an old comrade in Prussia after the war, “is not to be compared … with that of the Prussians, Austrians, or French. You say to your soldier, ‘Do this,’ and he does it; but I am obliged to say, 'This is the reason why you ought to do that,’ and then he does it.”
