#ThrowbackThursday

Illustration with four panels. In the first panel, the character looks tired while working on a laptop, with the caption "I'm exhausted all day." In the second panel, the character looks out the window as the sun sets, with a surprised expression and the caption "but once the sun sets." The third panel shows the character transforming into a vampire-like creature with glowing yellow eyes and a burst of colorful energy, captioned "I become the Creature of the Night." The final panel shows the character animatedly bouncing around the house, with the caption "unburdened by the mortal need for rest." Watermark: Linguist Gone Foreign

To boldly smurf where no Smurf has gone before…

#ThrowBackThursday #Miniatures #Smurf #Photography

A close-up, shallow depth of field photograph featuring a small, white and blue figurine of an astronaut smurf standing in the foreground. The astronaut figure has a clear, round helmet over its head, and its arms are outstretched. The background is significantly out of focus, showing a blurred outdoor landscape.

I was looking through my gallery today and this old picture of Mr Minx with Pixie laying on him always makes me smile. He was bigger than her, then it switched.

A lot changes in 5 years.

The tranquil waters of Lake Washington ripples gently under a twilight sky, with a mesmerizing lenticular cloud formation glowing in hues of pink and purple above the distant Tahoma a.k.a. Mount Rainier, like a flying saucer.
The skyline of a forested neighborhood borders the water, presenting a peaceful scene blending natural and human elements as dusk sets in.

Taken from Medina, Washington on April 01st, 2024

Realized I never posted my self-imposed #ThrowbackThursday rules here, and think I should probably rectify that.

I look for an old post, from close to the current day but in a previous year. That has usually been from Flickr or the birdsite (I have a local archive from when I left), though I'll start adding Mastodon posts to the mix as I have a larger selection of those on the Fediverse.

"When we say firefighter instead of fireman, we’re not just tweaking lexical units, (...) we’re challenging the assumption that one identity can stand in for all others. These changes signal something powerful: a willingness to see, to listen, and to evolve."

Wasser. Wald. Reflexionen.
Water. Forest. Reflections.

#TravelThursday #ThrowbackThursday #LochArd #Schottland #Scotland #Fotografie #photography

Reflexionen von Bäumen an einem See: Das untere Drittel des Bildes ist nur die Spiegelungen der unzähligen Bäume und Büsche auf der fast perfekt ruhigen Oberfläche des Wassers. Rechts ein paar Bootshäuser und in den Bäumen versteckt noch ein weißes Haus mit Türmchen, auch reflektiert. Die Hauptfarbe des Bildes ist grün.

Reflections of trees on a lake: the lower third of the picture consists solely of the reflections of countless trees and bushes on the almost perfectly still surface of the water. On the right are a few boathouses, and hidden amongst the trees is a white house with a turret, also reflected. The dominant colour of the picture is green.

#FotoVorschlag #throwbackthursday #bc #blackandwhite #landscape #hiking #waterfall #photography

A black and white photograph of a narrow, very high waterfall cascading down a steep rock face in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. The photo is taken from the side, and the bottom of the falls is obscured by the angle. The lower slopes of the mountains are covered in a coniferous forest. In the foreground, the rocky slope is dotted with small, scattered conifers. In the distance, to the right, the mountains disappear into the white light.

Photographie en noir et blanc d'une chute étroite et très haute, tombant d'une parois rocheuse escarpées au milieu de la chaîne de montagnes des Rocheuses. La photo est prise de côté et le bas de la chute est caché par l'angle. Le bas des montagnes est couvert d'une forêt de conifères. À l'avant-plan, la pente de roches où poussent de petits conifères épars. Au loin en arrière-plan à droite, les montagnes disparaissent dans la lumière blanche.

The Gender-Revealing Obsession 🧐

#Comics
#Gender
#ThrowbackThursday

Illustration with two panels. At the top, the word “SOCIETY:” is written. Below, a cartoon character with a white lab coat points at a presentation board showing two naked figures whose genitals are pixelated. The speech bubble says: “You must cover your genitals at all times because we shouldn’t be thinking about other people’s genitals.” In the next panel, the heading says “ALSO SOCIETY:”. The same character is shown again, snapping their fingers with a “SNAP” sound effect, now pointing to a presentation board showing two clothed figures: one in blue, one in pink with a bow. The speech bubble says: “But cover them with clothes that represent your genitals because I get very uncomfortable when I can’t tell what genitals people have.” Watermark: Linguist Gone Foreign©.

#virology #AcademicChatter #mentoring #ThrowbackThursday
I was interviewed on a podcast, Virology Unmasked, https://virologyunmasked.com/michael-emerman/ with the title "Work on Important Things" which was a quote from my graduate school advisor, Howard Temin. The conversation was a nice retrospective of my career in virology and mentoring style.
