I'm just blown away by this story of Patrick Stewart (Capt. Jean Luc Picard on Star Trek) from a fan of his.

Here is his speech at Amnesty International about domestic violence agains women (Patrick Stewart on violence against women). From the Tumblr post:

Sir Patrick told us about how he couldn’t protect his mother from abuse in his household growing up and so in her name works with an organization called Refuge (http://refuge.org.uk/) for safe houses for women and children to escape from abusive house holds.

Forget about him being an actor, that is one amazing HUMAN.

Thanks to my amazing friend +Angie Pedersen for sharing that story. Geek girls stick together!

Let me tell you a thing, about an amazing man...

Let me tell you a thing, about an amazing man named Patrick Stewart I went to Comicpalooza this weekend and I was full of nervous energy as I was standing in line to ask Sir Patrick Stewart a question at his panel.
