Safeguarding One’s Treasures: Protecting Valuables with Renters Insurance in Pittsburgh and Monroeville 
Renters insurance is a valuable safety net for tenants in Pittsburgh and Monroeville, Pennsylvania. It covers damage to one's rental unit and safeguards personal belongings, including valuable possessions like electronics, jewelry, and collectibles.  
1. Take Inventory of the Valuables
Before one even purchases renters insurance, creating a comprehensive inventory of one's valuable possessions is essential. This can include electronics, such as laptops, smartphones, and gaming consoles; jewelry, including engagement rings and heirlooms; and collectibles, like rare coins, artwork, or vintage toys.
Document each item's estimated value and, if possible, include photographs or receipts. This inventory serves as a valuable reference in case a claim needs to be made. 
2. Understand the Policy's Limits
Once one has a clear picture of the valuables, review the renter's insurance policy to understand its coverage limits. Most standard policies have coverage limits for different categories of belongings, such as electronics, jewelry, and collectibles. It's crucial to know these limits, as they can vary significantly.
If the coverage limits in the policy seem insufficient to protect one's valuables adequately, one has options:
Scheduled Personal Property Coverage: This option allows one to individually add specific, high-value items to one's policy. The renter typically needs to provide appraisals or receipts for these items, but they will have more substantial coverage.
Increased Coverage Limits: One can request higher coverage limits for certain categories of possessions, like jewelry or electronics. This might involve paying a slightly higher premium, but it provides added peace of mind.
3. Document all the Valuables
As a proactive step, document all the valuable possessions. Take clear photographs of each item, including any distinguishing marks, engravings, or serial numbers. Keep these photographs and any appraisals, receipts, or certificates of authenticity in a safe place, such as a digital cloud storage account or a physical safe.
4. Consider Replacement Cost Coverage
When choosing renters insurance in Pittsburgh and Monroeville,PA opt for replacement cost coverage if available. This type of coverage ensures that one receives the amount needed to replace the valuables with items of similar quality and value, regardless of depreciation. It can be especially valuable for electronics, jewelry, and collectibles that may be appreciated over time.
5. Notify the Insurer of Changes
If the renter acquires new valuable possessions or makes significant changes to the existing collection, promptly notify the renter's insurance provider. Failure to update the policy with these changes may result in underinsurance, meaning the valuable items may not be adequately covered.
6. Install Security Measures
Implementing security measures in the rental unit can also lead to potential discounts on the renter's insurance premiums. One can consider installing security systems, such as burglar alarms or surveillance cameras, to deter theft and vandalism. Additionally, using fire-resistant safes for storing valuables can reduce the risk of damage or loss due to fire or water damage.
7. Be Mindful of Deductibles
Remember that renters insurance policies often come with deductibles. The deductible is the amount one must pay out of pocket before the insurance coverage kicks in. Ensure that the renter chooses a deductible amount they can comfortably afford in case of a claim.
8. Read the Policy Carefully
Lastly, reading and understanding the terms and conditions of the renter's insurance policy thoroughly is crucial. Pay special attention to any exclusions or limitations that may affect the coverage of the valuables. If one has any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to the insurance provider for clarification. This applies to other insurances like auto insurance in Abingdon and Bristol, VA. 
Renters insurance in Pittsburgh and Monroeville can protect one's cherished possessions, including electronics, jewelry, and collectibles. By taking inventory, understanding the policy, and implementing security measures, one can safeguard their valuables and have peace of mind knowing that the treasures are protected. Remember to regularly review and update the policy as the collection or circumstances change to ensure adequate coverage.

summary: hi! would it be possible to get a second part of Daylight? maybe Charles finding out or Lando telling Charles? that would be so good. I love your writing❤️ thank you so much! - @powerfulmess
warnings: fluff, a bit of awkwardness, language, slightly protective!charles, loving boyfriend!lando, leclerc!reader
masterlist | part 1 | ask box | listen
₊‧°𐐪♡𐑂°‧₊
charles didn’t know what to expect when maman had told him you were bringing your new boyfriend to family dinner. he expected someone normal, someone you might’ve met through a friend or a dating app or something.
but when one of his friends walked through the door, one hand on your waist and the other holding your mothers favorite flowers, he couldn’t help the steam almost pouring out of his ears.
on the other hand, arthur thought it was hilarious.
“you owe me twenty dollars,” arthur smirked and charles rolled his eyes.
“you knew?”
“anyone with eyeballs could tell they were into each other,” he said, “you’re just oblivious.”
you and lando made your way over to the couch, your brothers hugging and greeting you. lando stuffed his hands in his pockets, giving a tight lipped smile to a not so happy looking charles. arthur gave him a pat on the back, going to help in the kitchen.
“good luck, mate,”
lando nodded at him, mumbling a sarcastic, “yeah, thanks mate,”
“charles,” you pulled your brothers attention from your boyfriend, “can i speak with you for a second?”
he nodded, following you outside. you closed the door and sent lando a small reassuring smile. he gave you a nervous one back, silently saying ‘please don’t leave me alone in here for long’.
you looked over at your brother, “i’m sorry, we should’ve told you before we came to dinner,” you said, “but it’s new, like a few weeks old new, and we’re still trying to figure everything out,”
you took a deep breath as he stayed silent, letting you continue, “im sorry, char.”
he sighed, “yes it was a surprise, but as long as he makes you happy, amor-“
you cut him off by throwing your arms around his neck, causing him to chuckle before he hugged you back.
“s'il te fait du mal, il est mort,” (“if he hurts you, he’s dead”)
you laughed, “il ne le ferait pas.” (“he wouldn’t”)
“oh je sais qu'il est amoureux de toi depuis des années.” your brother smiled and you blushed softly. (“oh i know, he’s been in love with you for years”)
“so have i,”
“i know,” he smirked, nodding towards the door, “c’mon, better go save lover boy maman’s burning questions.”
you laughed and entered back into the living room, looking around until you saw lando in the kitchen, helping your mom chop vegetables. your brother snorted next to you, which made you let out a tiny laugh.
lando’s head snapped in your direction and he could tell the two of you were making fun of the apron that had pink and white flowers all over it.
“you two are just jealous you can’t pull this off,” he said and you laughed softly, coming to stand next to him.
“yeah, baby,” you said, “the grandma flowers really make your eyes pop.”
“thanks, honey,” he smiled sarcastically at you, nose scrunching. you let out a giggle before placing a kiss on his cheek, your hand on his shoulder.
“maman,” you said and she lifted her head up, “puis-je voler lando un peu ?” (“can i steal lando for a bit?”)
“bien sûr ma chère. charles, s'il te plaît, prends sa place,” (“of course, my dear. charles, please take his place.”)
charles groaned and lando laughed, taking the apron off and tossing it to him. you led lando out of the room, “have fun, mate!”
“yeah, yeah, whatever,” charles mumbled, tying the apron around his waist.
“elle est si heureuse, elle rayonne,” maman smiled at her eldest son, “il pourrait être le bon.” (“she’s so happy, she’s beaming. he can be the one.”)
charles smiled over at his mother, “peut-être que tu as raison, maman.” (“maybe you’re right, mom”)
“je ne le suis pas toujours ?” (“am i not always?”)
he laughed and shook his head, meanwhile you and lando were sitting on the front steps, your head on the shoulder of his black button up shirt. you looked up at him for a minute, just taking in his side profile and how well he dressed today.
“you want a picture, babe?” he smirked over at you and you rolled your eyes.
“you wish,” you said, “no, you look good, baby.”
he’d smile, eyes traveling over you in the white flowy dress, “you look even better,”
you smiled, laying your head back down on his shoulder as he pulled you closer to his side.
“this is a nice little place,” he said, looking around, “can see why you love coming back home so much.”
you nodded, lifting your head up, “yeah, but home isn’t where the heart is,”
he smiled softly, eyes meeting yours, “you and these damn taylor swift references,”
you laughed, “okay, but she’s got a point!”
“i’m not from london, baby.”
“okay, okay, fine,” you smiled, “bristol boy, better?”
“better, thank you,” his lips pressed against your temple. you shivered slightly as the wind picked up a little.
“you cold?” he asked, “i have a hoodie in the car,”
you shook your head, “it’s okay,”
“you sure?”
you nodded, slipping your hands underneath his shirt and finding his stomach. his skin warm, but he still jumped slightly at how cold your hands were. you laughed as he shook his head, “it could be a hundred degrees outside and i swear your hands would still be cold.”
“you’re just as lost about it as i am, trust me.”
he let out a laugh, ignoring how your fingers were tracing the indents in his stomach of his abs. he bent down towards you, noses bumping as he used his to lift your head up slightly before he closed the gap between you. he kissed you sweetly, lovingly, his lips moving from yours to your cheeks to pepper kisses along the skin after.
“i’m happy i drunkingly broke into your house that one night.”
he laughed, “i am, too, love. i am too.”

(S)he Walks in Beauty // J. Todd x AFAB!reader
Requested? Yes!
WARNINGS: SMUT 18+ MINORS DNI, unprotected sex, body insecurity, cursing
Summary: The Gotham gossip rags decided to make you their target for the night. Jason has some things to say about that.
Tumblr media
“I hate these things,” you grumbled as you tugged on the fabric of your outfit so it settled better over your hips. A soft grunt from beside you was the only response from your boyfriend, but his hand settled on your waist. You savored the warm, steady presence behind you and leaned into Jason as the two of you studied the crowd that was starting to enter the lavish ballroom. Bruce and Tim were off schmoozing it up with the folks around you, but you were hanging on the outskirts.
Dick was in the Batsuit for the night with Steph, Damian, and Cass patrolling with him. The family rotated through who attended galas to ensure that the city wasn’t left defenseless and their covers were still established. Jason was rarely put in the limelight at these events because there were always hundreds of questions about the “resurrected Wayne” and where he was all those years. Bruce and Alfred had concocted some story about amnesia and a Swiss medical facility, but journalists were always eager to discover more about the elusive Wayne.
Jason had one stipulation for attending these events. If he goes, you go. Three reasons. One, he was not going to face these vermin bastards by himself. Two, he didn’t like leaving you home alone in the East End all night when he was all the way in Bristol. Three, and he would never admit this out loud, there was some predatory feeling in him that was satisfied by the sight of you on his arm.
“Bruce promised that if we make it to midnight, he’ll get Steph to bring McFlurries back and will distract Alfred long enough so we can eat them.” A tight smile graced his face but you knew it wasn’t directed at you. His lips brushed against the crown of your head and you leaned back against his chest.
“Let’s just get this over with,” he grunted. The vultures were streaming further into the room and you were starting to feel a lot like roadkill that they were circling, intent on their next meal.
You made it an hour.
It was a risky outfit and you knew it when you put it on for tonight. The fabric clung tight in all the right places and the color was different than the normal muted colors you wore. Red. To anyone on the outside it looked like you were just wearing a daring flash of color. To Jason, it was a reminder.
The Red Hood had staked his claim long ago and his color draped your skin.
But it was flashy. Eye-catching. Able to be talked about. And boy, did they talk. It was as if every Gotham gossip column turned their sharp eyes on you and decided that you would be the gossip pinata for the night. Comments about your weight, hair, clothes, skin. Even comments about your nails. You took all the backhanded comments with a small smile and a polite jab in return, but every barb just dug deeper into your chest.
“I see you decided on the walking red flag,” one columnist cooed. “How do the Waynes feel knowing the prodigal son is dating Gotham’s new fashion faux pas?”
“I don’t know, Kelly, you tell me. But please be sure to spell faux pas correctly. I know grammar, spelling, and punctuation isn’t the strong suit of your journalism career.”
“It must be so hard being last year’s model.”
“Well, I hear the newer versions always have bugs and defects.”
“You’re a charity case, Y/N,” Kelly snapped.
“And your press credentials are stripped.” A cool voice came from behind you. She blanched at the sight of the person standing at your side and Tim offered her that shark-like grin that graced Red Robin’s face when he cracked a case. He reached over and neatly snapped the cord hanging from her neck off, holding up her press badge like it was a trophy.
“I would leave before security comes by. I would also leave the city. Maybe the state. I hear Oregon is lovely this time of year.” Your boyfriend’s little brother dropped her press badge into the trash can and looped his arm around yours. Tim steered you away from the press gaggle and towards the dark figure pressed against the wall. Jason was in the middle of lifting a glass to his lips but he paused when he saw the two of you approach.
“What’s wrong?” Jason stood up straighter, his eyes darkening as his sharp gaze darted around the room to find whatever threat was present.
“Nothing, it’s nothing,” you muttered. “I was handling it.”
“Get out of here,” Tim ordered. “Before Brucie catches wind of what the press has been saying and he decides to make Jenna Greene cry again.”
“What has the press been saying?” Jason’s voice was tight and you pointedly looked away from his calculating stare. His rough, calloused hand enclosed around your wrist and he tugged you into his side.
“Go. I’ll distract them and come up with an excuse,” Tim urged.
“Thank you, Timmy,” Jason said. Tim squeezed the hand that rested on your shoulder and you nodded in thanks. Being away from the crowd, the stares, the comments…you could feel the shame creep up into your chest. So when Jason started to lead you out of the ballroom and towards the panel that would lead to the main portion of the manor. You slipped in before him and he shut the door after you, his hand settling on the small of your back.
Jason didn’t say anything as the two of you walked to the stairs, up to the second floor, passing the room that he refused to look into, and to the guest room that you two occupied anytime you stayed overnight at the manor. You quietly entered and crossed to the bathroom so you could start to wipe off your makeup. The bedroom was silent but you could guess what he was doing.
“Damnit,” Jason growled. He appeared in the doorway, his jacket off, cuffs rolled up to his elbows, and tie loose. He gripped his phone in one hand and ran the other through his hair. Messy curls stuck up at all angles as he thudded his forehead against the wall.
“It’s not as bad as it seems,” you said weakly. “I’ve heard it all before.”
His head raised so he could make eye contact with you in the mirror. You sighed and set down the makeup wipe in your hand. Jason leaned his head back against the wall and watched you.
“It’s just…that’s how the way things are, Jase. You learn to live with it.”
“Please tell me you don’t believe in the shit they’re saying,” he croaked. You wanted to tell him that you didn’t. That you were able to shut out the voices and let the words bounce off of some impenetrable armor you had built up, but you could never lie to Jason. From the moment you saw him, you knew that he would ruin you in the best way possible and seeing the look in his eye just now was enough to ensure that you couldn’t lie.
“I get it, y’know? It’s a bright color and it highlights some areas of my body that maybe don't need to be shown.”
A pained noise escaped him and he stepped forward, his chest pressing against your back as his hands wrapped around the edge of the sink. Jason pressed his face against the crook of your neck and inhaled deeply.
“That’s the biggest load of horseshit I’ve ever heard,” he whispered. His right hand came up to slide across your waist and he pressed you impossibly closer. You gasped and let your eyes fall shut as his lips ghosted over the skin of your jaw, neck, and shoulder.
“Jason,” you breathed. Slowly, methodically, as if you were a delicate package, his hands peeled away your clothes, leaving you in the lace underwear you had selected earlier that evening. You eyed your body with disdain as the words said tonight crept into your mind. Jason caught onto your train of thought quickly and he silenced the voices with a quick nip at your shoulder.
“I should go back down there and rip them apart,” he seethed. “Identities be damned.”
A shaky exhale escaped your lungs. The contrast of the pure rage in his voice with the delicate way his hands stroked down your heated flesh made your head spin. He looked directly at the mirror, his lust blown eyes meeting yours. You could feel him press against your ass and he grinned, sharp and dangerous.
“You can feel what you do to me,” he murmured. “Baby, seeing you in my color drove me up the fucking wall. God, your ass is perfect.”
He palmed your ass with one hand and lowered his head to suck a hickey onto your jaw. You mewled and thrust back against him, forcing a groan from his lungs. He rolled his hips and then grabbed your waist, spinning you around so you were facing him. Jason reached behind you and unlatched your bra, letting it fall to the ground to join your other clothes.
He kneeled down and settled his hands on your hips, gazing up at you in a mixture of adoration and lust. You slid one hand in his hair and brushed your thumb along his temple.
“She walks in beauty, like the night,” he murmured. “Of cloudless climes and starry skies.”
His teeth enclosed around the flesh above your breast and you gasped, hands coming up to cradle the back of his head as he added another mark to your skin. Like a painter with a canvas, Jason scattered hickeys across your chest and down your stomach.
“And all that’s best of dark and bright.” He mouthed the words along your stomach. “Meet in her aspect and her eyes.”
He bit down on the edge of your underwear and dragged it down the expanse of your legs until it pooled at your feet. Jason nudged at your knee and you leaned back against the sink and spread your legs, exposing your glistening cunt to him. He groaned and pressed his cheek against your inner thing, his hot breath washing over your pussy.
“Thus mellowed to that tender light, which heaven to gaudy day denies,” he whispered the last lines of the stanza and then his lips enclosed around your clit.
Jason Todd ate pussy like he was a dying man and this was his last meal. He was always a generous lover, but today felt like he was on a mission. All thoughts other than “oh god” and “fuck” fled your mind as he licked, sucked, and stroked your cunt. Your hips lifted up off the counter on their own accord and he followed without hesitation. Heavy gasps and pants escaped you as he buried a second finger in your slit and spread you apart. You could feel him moving inside of you. Every callous, ridge, and scrape of his well-manicured nails set your nerves on fire.
And then he pulled away, leaving you a soaking, whining mess.
Your juices stained his chin as he grinned up at you. Jason spun you back around so you were facing the mirror once more before he wrestled with his belt and shoved his pants down to his ankles. He grabbed his hard cock and pumped it twice before he bent you over and slid into you in one swift move.
A moan escaped you and he grabbed your chin, forcing you to look up into the mirror and watch as he pulled his cock out and then slammed back into you. The sight of your cunt swallowing his dick was so fucking hot that you nearly came right there.
“See how well you take me?” Jason panted. “It’s like you were made for me. Made to take my cock.”
He punctuated his words with another roll of his hips and your jaw dropped open in a silent cry. Jason smirked, his broad chest heaving with every thrust.
“Seeing you come apart on my cock? Best fucking sight in the world. I should take you downstairs and show them all just how perfect you are. These tits. That ass. So fucking perfect.”
You clenched around him, your walls spasming as he continued his repeated thrusts. A keening whine left your throat, mingling with the sound of his balls slapping against your skin. Your body burned with the insatiable heat of your orgasm and sparks of pain and pleasure lit through you as his cockhead dragged against your inner walls again.
“Jase,” you gasped. “Jase, baby, it’s too much.”
“You can take it,” he grunted. He slid his hand down to rest against your swollen clit and he started to rub the bundle of nerves with an easy going vigor. Your head fell forward onto your forearms but his other hand wrapped around your neck and yanked your head up to watch the mirror once more.
“I’m not gonna stop, sweetheart. Not until I’ve fucked all those silly thoughts out of your head. Because you’re nothing less than perfect, baby, and I won’t let those fucking vultures down there make you think any other way.”
You woke up the next day with sore hips, an aching cunt, and a map of hickeys decorating your body. Jason was fast asleep next to you with the sheets pooling at his waist, his scarred torso exposed. Sometime between the third and fourth orgasm, he had moved you to the bed and fucked you so slowly and carefully, it had felt as though he was pulling you apart every time he pulled out and putting you back together with every thrust in.
Rolling onto your back, you traced a finger down the map of bruises that littered your torso. Your neck, breasts, stomach, and hips were all covered with Jason’s marks. You were examining a particularly dark bruise on the inside of your thigh when his strong arm wrapped around your waist and pulled you into his chest.
“Hi,” you whispered in greeting. He pressed a kiss to your forehead and then your nose, cheek, and finally lips.
“Hi,” he murmured. “You know you’re beautiful, right?”
“I do now,” you teased. A soft smile graced his face, the smile only you got to see, and he brushed his fingers lightly across your jaw.
“And smart and funny,” he added. “And unbelievably kind.” It was a secret between the two of you that the Red Hood sets aside some of his bounty from his crime syndicate that was used to help the kids of the Bowery. You had met the infamous Red Hood when you were buying food for a street kid. When a shootout forced you to take cover in the same alley as him, Jason made sure to keep you covered. An uneasy truce had bloomed between the two of you: the crime lord and the caretaker.
He paid for food, clothes, and anything you needed to help keep the kids safe. He made sure your shitty apartment had some security. He showed up on your fire escape with a bullet in his gut and landed in your bed. He wormed his way into your pants and then into your heart.
And by god, he was a sap.
“Thank you,” you whispered. You dropped a kiss to his shoulder, right above a scar that you knew to be from a knife, and pressed your face against his neck. Jason stroked a lazy hand up and down your back.
“How would you feel if all of Gotham’s gossip rag sites mysteriously went down last night and no one’s been able to fix the server?”
“Remind me to give Tim a hug later.”
“You’ll have to give Bruce and Babs one too. It was a joint operation.”
You snickered and traced random patterns against his chest. “What time is breakfast?”
“We have about an hour. Alfie’s making your favorite because he loves you more than all of us.”
You sat up and swung your leg over his waist so you were straddling him. “Good. That gives us the perfect amount of time to discuss your particular brand of self hatred.”

Just curious, but what’s your favorite wacky/wild (defined however you please) story from the American Revolution/Founding?
Love your blog, by the way!
This is a great question! There are lots of candidates, but I think my favourite unexpected factoid is that Henry Laurens and the Marquis de Lafayette were good friends. It's hard to imagine an odder couple, but they seem to have instantly formed a genuine and affectionate bond.
Their first encounter is early in August 1777 where Lafayette is granted his Major General's commission. In a letter to a friend, Henry describes Lafayette as an "illustrious Stranger whose address & manner bespeak his birth" and predicts he'll spend a short time with the army before returning to plead the American cause to the court at Versailles.
They meet again about six weeks later on 19 September 1777, a week after Lafayette is wounded at the Battle of Brandywine. He's recuperating at the town of Bristol, PA, at around the time when congress is evacuating from Philadelphia. As Henry recounts to John, he is:
under an engagement to take charge of the Marquis delafayette who lay wounded by a ball through his Leg [...] from Bristol I had the honour of conducting the Marquis who is possessed of the most excellent funds good sense & inexhaustible patience to Bethlehem where the Second day after our arrival I left him in Bed anxious for nothing but to be again in our Army as he always calls it
Henry Laurens to John Laurens, 8 October 1777
In his usual self-aware manner, Lafayette immediately starts to impose:
Trouble some it will be to you for ever to have been so kind with me, because it seems me Now that I became in right by my first obligations, of disturbing you for my businesses.
Marquis de Lafayette to Henry Laurens, 25 Stepember 1777
(Translation: we're friends now, so I am making myself Your Problem.)
From that point on, they maintain a friendly professional and personal correspondence over many years - at least through the end of the war and the subsequent peace negotiations. Lafayette recounts the kind treatment he received from Henry to his wife, Adrienne, and when Henry is imprisoned in the Tower of London, she writes a letter to the Comte de Vergennes appealing for his help:
The capture and detention of Mr. Laurens in England has sensibly affected me. He is the intimate friend of M. de Lafayette, and took care of him during the time of his wound in a manner truly touching. His misfortune seems to me overwhelming, and when we consider the high station he has held in America, it is probable that it may become still more so. I know not if any means can be found to prevent it, or even to soften the actual rigors of his captivity; but I am persuaded, sir, if there are any such, that they will be known to you. Should it be possible, let me entreat you earnestly to put them in use.
Marquise de Lafayette to Comte de Vergennes, 18 October 1780
Lafayette even meets Harry in France!
the Honor of Getting Acquainted With Your Son, and My dear Clol Laurens's Brother Has Been to Me an Additional pleasure
Marquis de Lafayette to Henry Laurens, 20 August 1782

Hundreds of protesters gathered in central London on Saturday to urge the government to reform the childcare sector and parental leave.
March of the Mummies demonstrators want "affordable childcare, flexible working and properly paid parental leave".
The event was one of several marches held in cities across the UK including in Bristol, Glasgow and Norwich.
The government said it was "committed to supporting working parents and helping them participate" in work.
But speaking in London, Labour MP Stella Creasy said comments by Rishi Sunak likening maternity leave to a holiday reflected that he "(doesn't) really know what he's talking about".
Speaking to the PA news agency, she added: "We've got a cost-of-living crisis and an economy that isn't growing.
"You can't solve either of those challenges without investing in childcare.
"For me, investing in childcare pays off because the more women - and it is mainly women being penalised by this - can work, the more families can make choices that work for them."
