Rest in peace Alexei Arkhipovich Leonov (May 30, 1934 – October 11, 2019), Russian cosmonaut and artist. Despite his family’s suffering under Joseph Stalin, Major General Leonov became a Soviet military pilot and was selected for the first group of cosmonauts in 1960. Leonov became the first human to walk in space on March 18, 1965. In 1975, he served as the Soviet commander for the joint Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, a milestone in both human spaceflight and Cold War cooperation. After retiring as ‘Chief Cosmonaut’ of the Soviet program, Leonov dedicated his time to his incredible art and writing.

Not part of his official biography, but one of my favorite Leonov stories: during training and the flight of ASTP, Leonov and American astronaut Tom Stafford became friends. They remained close for the next several decades. In the early 2000s, Tom and his wife were interested in adopting from Russia. Alexei helped facilitate their adoption of two boys, and served as a character witness for the Staffords. One of the most successful and beautiful friendships across Cold War lines. Rest in peace, General Leonov.

No fucking joke, I was offered 4 days of film-set marshalling and I told him I was unavailable for one of the days but I could cancel. And he told me he’d potentially found someone else.

I reblogged this.

And not 20 mins later, he came back to me and said if I really want it, let him know now. So fuck. Wow.

Somewhere in India and according to some academics, Martin Freeman’s John Watson had been a real person and used to be an ethologist with Sigmund Freud as one of his peers.

I checked the publishing company’s website and it looks like they already pulled out the title. Which could only mean that this textbook would be a collector’s edition.

Ecaterina Teodoroiu (1894-1917) is considered a heroine in Romania for her role during World War I. She fought and died on the battlefield, while leading an infantry division.

She was responsible for setting up the first Scouts organizations in her country. Even though she was a battlefield nurse at first, she started fighting, driven by the deaths of all four of her brothers. Today, she is remembered through several monuments and names of institutions in Romania.

I don’t get this mode of SD. I was back in time LOADS of time in theater (where i live now is no theater, sigh) and i was very happy to watch great actors ON the scene. This is the point. Not hunting an autograph. If you have the chance to get one, great, but this is a BONUS! Stop complaining about the SD! For your money you got the theater experience, meet and great are not compulsory. The actors own you nothing just because you are a fan. They give you their work for your money. The rest of their time is their own to do as they please.
