save family lost their home ,dreams and everything in Gaza 💔💔

This is my home before the war and after the war how it became💔💔💔

Before: After:

Before the war, we lived a simple but happy life in Gaza. Our home in Shujaiya wasn’t big or luxurious, but it was filled with peace, love, and comfort. We had our own land — a small garden where we planted vegetables, a roof where we sat on warm evenings drinking tea, laughing as a family. Our kids went to school every day with joy, dreaming about their future. We had work. We had neighbors we trusted. We had routines, family dinners, birthdays, laughter. Life wasn’t perfect, but it was ours. It was full of meaning.

The bombing started, and we had to flee our home during the first week of the war. We left everything behind — not knowing it would be the last time we would see our home standing. We first went to Rimal, hoping to be safer. That’s where we heard the news: our home, the place we built with love and hard work, was destroyed. Flattened. Just like that — gone. Everything we owned, everything we saved for, was buried under rubble.

After that, we kept running. From Rimal to Al-Zawaida. Then to Rafah. We’ve been displaced four times. Each time we carry less with us, but more pain. We sleep on floors. Sometimes there’s no roof. Sometimes we stay in tents. The nights are cold, the days are burning hot. There is no electricity, no clean water, no toilets, no privacy. We wait hours just to get a piece of bread. We lost our jobs, our income. We lost our safety, our dignity. We live in fear every day — fear of the next bomb, the next loss.

We used to dream of the future. Now, we just dream of surviving the next day.

We are the Anas family — like many families in Gaza — ordinary people who only wanted peace, a safe home, and a chance to live in dignity. But the war has taken everything from us: our home, our land, our jobs, our dreams, our stability… even our sleep.

It’s hard to write this. It's hard to ask for help. But we are desperate.

Please, if you are reading this, help us. Even a small donation could mean we sleep under a real roof again. Could help us buy medicine, food, or clean water. Could bring back a little dignity to our lives. If you cannot donate, please share this story. You might reach someone who can.

This isn’t just a story. This is our life. And we’re still living through it.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

💔

Please, we are in dire need of you and your support. If you cannot donate, you can share☹️❤️🥹

There is this portrait of an ‘American military officer’ that is dated to the 19th century and from a painter of the ‘American School’. This portrait was held in a private collection and sold on Sotheby’s not too long ago. The sitter was identified on the back of the portrait panel as being JCH, however, I think the sitter bears littler resemblance to John based on his other portraits / one photo we have of him.

BUT the sitter does have blue eyes and seems to have very Hamilton-ish features, which makes me think it could be a misidentified Hamilton son in uniform (perhaps Alex Jr?!).

From Alice Ormsby Gore Archives on instagram:

"Here’s a fashion sketch of Alice published by Women’s Wear Daily’s in December 1969. Alice is sketched in the suede jacket and maxi skirt that she wore to her father’s second wedding in that same month. Alice later wore this jacket when she was photographed by Tessa Traeger for Vogue in January 1970. Later, Twiggy wore this same jacket when modelling in a New York City restaurant in April 1970."

He resides in Watford in the UK with his partner Mike, a dog, two cats, and two chickens.

Photograph of John Church Hamilton (1792-1882), fourth son and fifth child of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton (1755/7-1804) and his wife Elizabeth Schuyler (1757-1854). This photograph was published in the book ‘Famous families of New York; historical and biographical sketches of families which in successive generation have been identified with the development of the nation.’ (published in 1902). The photograph is also most likely the “photograph likeness” of John Church that is referred to in his will.

“congaroos’ and other beasts” 😭😭

I was wondering about Hamilton's (potential) accent, and you seem the perfectly knowledgeable person to ask: are there any instances of people noticing/remarking that he had a different or "unusual" accent when he first came to NY, or did people simply not care about stuff like this?

not that i can remember! i'm almost positive he had some sort of accent, but it's nearly impossible to decipher what exactly it was. you might have to do some sleuthing. since there was no standardization of spelling in his time, and people had a tendency to spell words phonetically, as they pronounced them, my first guess would be to go back through some of hamilton's letters to try and see if he did anything like that (phonetic misspellings) to get a better feel for how he may have sounded certain words out. FOR EXAMPLE, speaking of burr, we get an instance of this in his journals with his spelling of the word "kangaroo" ("congaroo"):

meaning, probably, that's how he sounded when he spoke the word out loud.

tangentially, this video on accents in north america might be helpful too to get a better understanding about how colonial americans sounded when they talked-- specifically the accent of Tangier Island, VA (which would have been the accent hamilton might have tried to emulate)

i'm almost positive i've seen posts about this in regards to hamilton floating around before, so maybe one of my followers might have better info

EDIT: here's a great post pointed out to me by @beeschaos about hamilton's potential accent!

I don’t know how good terms John Church Hamilton’s children were on with William Stephen, (considering the episode with JCH’s son John Cornelius and his wife Angeline Romer and their relationship with William), but currently thinking about how if William hadn’t died in 1850 and had lived for another six years he would’ve gotten the family he wanted around him again when Henry Halleck and Elizabeth arrived to San Francisco in 1856…
