Pom Klementieff, real-life badass, has just leapt out of a hot air balloon thousands of feet above the valley of Perris, California. Against the bright stripes of the balloon, Klementieff appears to be falling upward, almost levitating, her eyes closing in transcendence. But she was fully in the present, aware of every moment. The balloon had drifted beyond the designated drop zone, and Klementieff had to make a quick decision once she pulled the parachute.

Jane Goodall: Ihre Mission für eine bessere Welt ist ein HerzensprojektDrei Monate waren in Tansania vergangen, und Jane Goodall war noch nicht einmal in die Nähe eines Schimpansen gekommen.

With only a couple of months left before her funds ran out, the 26-year-old British would-be scientist was growing anxious and impatient.

After recovering from my foot fracture last fall, I was still walking with slight pain and an uneven gait. The doctors I had consulted (Dr. Google, Dr. Reddit, and my uncle who is an EENT) said that full recovery for someone my age, that is, in the perimenopausal range, would take at least four to five months.
