Who Is That in Your Profile Picture?

[dipole]

I find some people's choice of their profile picture bemusing. I can never figure out who it's supposed to be, so I figured I'd make a poll out of curiosity. This only applies to people who have as a profile picture a human face, obviously.

Good question! but I am not a cat.
A few days ago I realized that I don't have good feelings towards people self-identifying them as male or female in public places.

Would it be OK with you if I thought of you as a cat? Not a female or male cat - just a cat. I like cats very much, btw !

Gender is interesting. When I grew up, there were no options other than the body you were born into - no choices allowed. This worked out OK for me since I feel female and my body is female. I'm very glad the world is more flexible now when it comes to gender. Because not everyone is as lucky as I am, but they still deserve to be happy.

Oh but my profile. It's a forest nymph, my alter-ego.

Has anyone ever told you you bear a striking resemblance to Jimmy Page? And all this time I thought you were the enigmatic Sugarman..

Emmy Noether!

Author of the most beautiful theorem in physics, and totally awesome early 20th century woman of science, who had to do things like lecture under Hilbert's name, yet made huge contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics.

I love medieval history. This painting The Lady of Shalott is an 1888 oil-on-canvas painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite painter John William Waterhouse looks almost exactly like me when I was 20 years old. I have always loved medieval history. Tennyson wrote a poem in 1832 http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/174626 about it. Although they are 19th century works, they are about medieval times.

If i had to choose a poem though to describe how I feel, it would be
Sudden Light, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, written around the same time.

I have been here before,
But when or how I cannot tell:
I know the grass beyond the door,
The sweet keen smell,
The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.

You have been mine before,—
How long ago I may not know:
But just when at that swallow's soar
Your neck turn'd so,
Some veil did fall,—I knew it all of yore.

Has this been thus before?
And shall not thus time's eddying flight
Still with our lives our love restore
In death's despite,
And day and night yield one delight once more?

I have no problem with the op. I was joking. . I have a collection of grumpy cats in my computer. That's one of them.

That cat reminds me of Rhonda Rousey's game face...
