I hope no one following the Nobel prizes misses the sheer irony of the committee snuffing yet another Rosalind who was key for the work that was awarded a prize in physiology again.

Man for years we are talking about the injustice done to Rosalind Franklin and now it happens again.

Rosalind Lee is the first author of the seminal work that the comittee cited for the prize but only her collaborators receive the award.

Julie doing “stuff” with famous people (21st post)

Julie shows spirit at a Sinatra Swooner’s charity softball game. He’s pictured here with Frankie, Virginia Mayo and Jane Russell. Wake up, Frank!!

Julie and Joan Crawford get their expressions down in a scene from HUMORESQUE above.

On the DESTINATION TOKYO set with Robert Hutton.

Walking with his Group Theatre colleague, Lee Strasberg, shown on the left. Julie was the first actor to bring THE METHOD to film and Strasberg helmed THE ACTORS STUDIO.

At an event with Rosalind Russell somewhere.

Backstage with George Coloris on NOBODY LIVES FOREVER.

HE RAN ALL THE WAY with Norman Lloyd.

Brenda Marshall doesn’t feel like toasting in EAST OF THE RIVER.

Ida’s mad too in THE SEA WOLF.

But Frances Farmer is all loving looks in this photo anyway. They were friends from THE GROUP THEATRE. This photo promotes FLOWING GOLD.

"Are you bringing him into this house?"

"I certainly am. Mr. Fletcher is spending the night here at my request - and please don't be unpleasant about it."

"Don't worry, I'll be in my room with the door locked. And if anyone thinks of murdering me, I'm warning them: I sleep with a gun under my pillow."

"Pleasant, isn't she?"

PEIP Incident Report Released by ███████ to Tumblr Blog "john-macnamara" 03/13/2024. Subject: General John MacNamara; Elimination of Enemies

Incident #1: December █, 20██. Persons Involved: Colonel Wilbur R. Cross; Major Johnathan S. MacNamara; Lt. Colonel Rosalind B. Schaffer; Agent Xander P. Lee. Location: █████████, NM

At approximately 20:35, a standard mission update was sent in by Col. Cross. Team was instructed to stay put and wait for further instructions. The next two mission updates were unreported. At 22:14, a transmission was sent to Col. Cross. Was picked up by Lt. Schaffer, quote: "Cross is in unstable condition, Lee providing medical assistance. MacNamara in a fire fight with ██████, ███████, and █████. Prepared for further instruction."

The team was left without further instruction. At approximately 1:00, a final transmission was sent. Quote: " ██████, ███████, and █████ incapacitated. MacNamara defied orders under extenuating circumstances, ████ ████████ has been eliminated. Cross has been stabilized. Prepared for extraction. We are sorry."

Post-Incident: Col. Cross was sent to the New Mexico center for emergency medical aid, recovered within one week. Lt. Schaffer given the chance to explain the circumstances, Maj. MacNamara unpunished. Maj. MacNamra also required to take a two-week leave of absence due to his mental state post mission. Viewed this as a punishment.

On ████ ██, ████, Brig. Gen. MacNamara disappeared from his station in Point Pleasant, WV. Unresponsive, filed as MIA 48 hours later. On ██████ ██, ████, a message sent to Maj. Gen. Youngerman. Read: "A little birdie told me you were missing a general. Give us the information before he does. You have 72 hours before your general dies."

Maj. Gen. Youngerman provided Col. Schaffer with a hard drive filled with falsified and/or outdated information. She was instructed to swap it for Brig. Gen. MacNamara. Took Lt. Smith as backup. Backup was needed. ████ ███████, ████ █████████, █████ ██████ pulled weapons on the two agents, resulting in a short firefight with all three adversaries eliminated.

Brig. Gen. MacNamara found in a state of half-consciousness, showing signs of heavy torture. Dead body of ███████ ████ found in corner of room. Brig. Gen. MacNamara found clutching the knife. Was sedated and taken to the intensive care unit at MSHS.

Team instructed to remain in cabin and observe impacts of extraterrestrial substances on biological organisms. On May ██, 20██, the escape of a presumed non-sentient substance was reported by Maj. Gen. MacNamara. Previous data had proven a possession of both living and dead organisms. The substance would slowly replace the original matter with it's own. Only able to spread via fluid, however.

Maj. Gen. MacNamara prevented his team from becoming infected in quarantine for twenty days. On June ██, 20██, Maj. Shào reported feelings of dizziness. Throughout the next few days, Maj. Shào showed more signs of infection until it was undeniable. Maj. Shào was a host for the substance. Maj. Gen. MacNamara was given the order to eliminate her. After 17 hours of deliberation, a report was sent in. Quote: "I... I killed her. Chunhua's dead. It was quick, I shot her in the head when *sob* she was sleeping. We burnt her body. There's nothing- *sob* there's nothing left. The threat has been eliminated. Extraction is no longer a risk. *hic* Over."

Post-Incident Report: Maj. Gen. MacNamara and his remaining team members were extracted the next day and given proper medical treatment for minor malnutrition and dehydration. Maj. Shào promoted to Lt. Col. postmortem. Her stipend will be sent to her family, and a funeral will be held on June 24, 20██. For his skills in handling the situation, and following of orders, plans have been made to promote Maj. Gen, MacNamara to four-star general.

SHIPPING INFO — ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR MUSE(S).

WHAT'S YOUR OTP FOR YOUR MUSES(S)?

considering that a good chunk of my muses are literally insane or (holds knife to your throat) type muses, i don't have a big list of otps. but most of my muses that do have canon counterparts for i would sell my soul for and those include: genya / david, jude / cardan, rosalind / orion, alice / jasper, yor / loid, kate / anthony, veronica / jd (in the worst way possible tbh)

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO RP WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?

honestly most things. i don't do large age gaps and i don't do pregnancy plots for the most part. in general, i don't write ships often because romance isn't my go-to genre but there are quite a few things i love exploring. i love the pain of heartbreak and trope of right person, wrong time. yearning and angst are my bread and butter when it comes to ships so however that can be achieved i'm game. i am more than happy to explore a wildly unhealthy ship but am only willing to do that with really close friends. i hate when people romanticize toxic relationships but i do think they can be written with nuance and awareness. i actually love a good fight, a lovers spat. i love the hard and messy parts of a relationship, i love couples getting through the messy parts of a relationship and coming out stronger. love takes a lot of work and i think we need to realize that more as a community and society tbh. i'm also a sucker for either ends of the spectrum of a relationship, meaning the very beginning with butterflies, first dates, confessions not said, etc. and married, domestic life. the stable in between period of a couple doesn't do much for me unless they're just as much friends as they are lovers.

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?

i'm not a big age gap girly especially considering the age of most of my muses and how i believe age directly correlates with maturity and life stages in most cases. so i get uncomfortable pretty quickly with an age gap. with muses that are minors it would have to be within a year or two at most. older than 18, looking at maybe 4 ish years max. i don't have enough 30+ muses but when the muse is above 30 i'm willing to go to about 6-7 years older. immortals are obv the exception.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?

very lol. if i'm real honest, i'm open to shipping only if we've comfortably talked ooc. there are a few rare times when i see someone and i'm itching to hit them up for a ship because i think our writing styles would vibe well, but due to previous experiences, i do like to establish a bit of an ooc connection. this truly could just be rotting about our muses together or plotting and screaming a little. so any of the people who have me on discord and we've plotted about multiple muses are fair game to hit me up to ship bc i will definitely be too awkward to hit you up ahahahah

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY'RE CONSIDERED NSFW?

i'm not really a steamy writer so two muses making out is likely as far as i'll go. i love tension and palpable tension between two muses but physical touching won't go far in a thread with me just for my own comfort levels!!

WHO ARE OTHER MUSES YOU SHIP YOUR MUSE(S) WITH?

there's only a few that come to mind off the top of my head but i love a good random ship tbh whether canon or oc. canon wise the only ones i can think of off the bat are genya / alina, johanna / katniss, velma / daphne, ty lee / sokka.

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?

yes please because i will not get the hint, i hope you know that <3 besides naturally flirty muses, i will never default to anything shippy so you really do have to let me know even if we’re besties i will not catch what you are putting down

ARE YOU MULTISHIP?

yes!! all my ships will exist in different universes and/or timelines.

ARE YOU SHIP - OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE - OR - LESS?

ship more - or - less for sure. once we get a ship going though they live in my head rent free. i’ll send you stupid musings about them and will scream at you, but romantic ships usually aren’t my go-to dynamic.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM(S) ?

literally the same answer as above tbh. with ocs though special shoutout to noemi / fallon, chija / tyl, aklla / allie, estelle / harriet, som / kit. aka literally all my oc ships i think 🤭

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?

look me in the eyes, hold my hand, and tell me you have a proposal to make 👉👈

tagging : anyone who hasn’t done this and sees it !

I studied small RNAs in my PhD thesis and I cited Rosalind Lee in all my papers, introductions, seminars etc. as R. Lee et al. for her touchdown findings in posttranscriptional regulation. I don't get how she isn't recognized by Nobel committee. It might be because she isn't a tenured Prof with her own lab, cause they hate scientists outside academia

I can actually make an index of which names in Billy Joel songs were people's actual names and which ones just sang well.

Actual names:

Judy (Why Judy Why)

Bill, John, Paul, Dave (Piano Man)

Billy (The Ballad of Billy the Kid, and it's not him, it's some bartender he knew, supposedly, also the actual Billy the Kid)

Captain Jack (Captain Jack, kinda doubt this was his legal name but he was known by it)

Virginia (Only the Good Die Young)

Rosalinda (Rosalinda's Eyes, his mother's name was Rosalind)

Christie Lee, Joe (Christie Lee, it's a fictional story loosely based on jokey versions of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley, Joe was her nickname for him)

The Alexa (The Downeaster "Alexa," he actually did name his boat Alexa after his daughter, not sure if the real boat or the song came first)

Viktor (Leningrad)

Real people, fake names that just sing well:

James (James, a composite of several people)

Laura (Laura)

Fictional characters:

Anthony (Movin' Out)

Brenda, Eddie (Scenes from an Italian Restaurant)

Leyna (All for Leyna)

Charlie, Baker (Goodnight Saigon, not fake names for specific people as far as I know, composites of soldiers)

Unknown/unconfirmed to me at this time:

Eliza (Turn Around, might be Elizabeth)

Roberta (Roberta, real person, not sure if it's her real name)

Bobby, Johnny (Say Goodbye to Hollywood, don't know if they're real)

Little Gio (Half a Mile Away, I think he's like Brenda and Eddie, just a composite of the people Billy Joel grew up with but I don't know)

Diane (Sleeping with the Television On, I'm pretty sure she's fictional)

Songs that mention famous people by name:

Streetlife Serenader (Eisenhower)

Zanzibar (Muhammed Ali, Pete Rose)

It's Still Rock and Roll to Me (Beau Brummel)
