colorful-history:

Edmonia Lewis (1845-1909) was an African American and Native American sculptor that would find success despite discrimination for her race and gender. She was an art student at Oberlin College and would excel in her courses but would later drop out after being accused of theft and poisoning two classmates; this led to a mob beating her up severely, only to have her acquitted of any wrong doing at trial. She would later move to Boston to further her education in sculpting. Her big break would come in 1864 with a bust she made of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw being widely celebrated and selling many copies; this would supply her with enough money to move to Rome. She would spend most of her adult career in Italy and became a highly paid and internationally respected sculptor. Two of her most notable works are: Forever Free and The Death of Cleopatra.

Depending on your television habits, Tom Ellis is either best known to you as King Cenred (Merlin), Gary Preston (Miranda), or Dr. Thomas Milligan (Doctor Who). And if you don’t watch any British television, 1) What’s wrong with you? and 2) You probably don’t know who he is at all. And that’s a shame. Because he’s fantastic.

It’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great.

They were one of the last to surrender in ‘39. She was running away from her house. Leaving everything. A row of men were being executed just behind that door. Amongst them her husband. She… she didn’t look back. I was irritated because I had my camera in my hand and I couldn’t find another film. They were being shot one by one, and all I could think was “I’ve got no bloody film.” I’m still proud I got it. You’ve got to grab it while you can.

I always loved the idea of opening a teashop with cakes and wine and some books to read. Maybe one day, when it all goes wrong, that’s what I’ll end up doing.
