#animalcrossing #acnh With spring in full swing I return to Holualoa to create a trailer for a sappy romance movie 🎵 Agnes Chan - トップ・オブ・ザ・ワールド (1990)

#nowplaying #vinyl 🎵 the Moody Blues - For My Lady (Seventh Sojourn, 1972)

Don't look at me like that, squids, I was hungry... #splatoon

#nowplaying #vinyl XTC - Yacht Dance (English Settlement, 1982)

My gratitude to @markwars.bsky.social for giving me some much needed decorations, I felt a little Holualoa tribute was in order I'll be ordering more soon!

#nowplaying #vinyl 🎵 Uriah Heep - Circle of Hands (1972)

Huge thanks to the immensely talented folks behind @splatoontarot.bsky.social for this beautiful deck! #splatoon #tarot

At the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan, visiting occlupanologists on holiday last October were alarmed to find what appeared to be immense occlupanopsids in the museum store!

#nowplaying #vinyl 🎵 Vivaldi - The Four Seasons (Cond. Leonard Bernstein, 1965) It felt appropriate given the season

#nowplaying #vinyl #windhamhill 🎵 George Winston - Winter Into Spring (1982) Giving it another spin to usher in the season!

I decided to have my Friday on a Thursday 🍣 Smoked salmon, carrot, and avocado 🍺 Hitachino Nest yuzu lager 🎵 Junko Ohashi - Twilight, My Love (1978)

Happy Taxonomist Appreciation Day! On this day the synthetic taxonomist community, and HORG in particular, celebrates the rigorous and passionate work that underpins our knowledge of the natural world. Scholars of Microsynthera everywhere owe a deep debt of gratitude to their work.

#nowplaying #vinyl 🎵 Sinéad O'Connor - The Lion and the Cobra (1987)

#nowplaying #vinyl 🎵 Ginger Root - City Slicker (2021)

Today's secondhand plunder, an 80s classic and two Narada albums 🎵 Nena - 99 Luftballons (1983) 🎵 Narada Artists - Narada Collection 4 (1993) 🎵 Narada Artists - Wind and Reed (1993) #vinyl #nowplaying #newage

Getting @spicynik.bsky.social to bronze rank this #bigrun with help from @villagerwolf527.bsky.social #splatoon #salmonrun

Significant improvements over my old paper board have been made, and new specimens have been cataloged #occlupanid #breadclip

An occlupanological treasure trove donated to HORG, found at a recycling facility. Contained within a small ziploc bag were over 30 species, a high rate of microsyntheric diversity! Many of these species, once commonly encountered in the wild, are today mostly observed in clatterings such as these.

Starting what I hope to be a successful foray into raising some #bonsai trees I'm starting with some seedlings and will hopefully be able to keep them alive long enough for some results Advice is appreciated! #gardening #botany #plants

Leaving the island yesterday, not a spot of wind or fog. #photography #obx

I love the stories that used vinyls can tell Case in point, on April 9, 2018, at 3:46 PM someone walked out of the Hard•Off secondhand store in Higashimurayama, Tokyo, with two secondhand records after paying 216 yen ($2.00 in 2018) They paid with a 500 yen coin and got 284 yen in change #vinyl

Everyone goes to the beach in summer for the sea and the sun I go in the winter so I can stand in the fog and perfect my brooding glare #photography #obx

While sorting through a pile of occlupanids in biology class as an introduction to taxonomy, students at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC noticed some small green occlupanids that did not fit into any of the dichotomous keys they were creating, and perhaps found an unidentified species...

#nowplaying #vinyl #windhamhill 🎵 George Winston - Winter Into Spring (1982) Still spinning, even on vacation

Ahh yes, a beach vacation...

#nowplaying #vinyl 🎵 Donovan - Atlantis (1969) 🎵 John Denver - Calypso (1975) 🎵 Crosby, Stills & Nash - Southern Cross (1982) Atlantis is unique, half of it's a spoken word poem and it still managed to hit the Top 10 around the world Calypso is one of John Denver's finest as far as I'm concerned

#nowplaying #ambient If you're into lo-fi beats and Gregorian chant look no further than this album 🎵 Pilgrimage - 9 Songs of Ecstasy (1997)

#splatoon #splatoonoc I don't think I've ever properly introduced my two goobers, so here they are. Art by the supremely talented @owennyo.bsky.social

Commission for @originalbramble.bsky.social !! Thanks so much! #Splatoon #Splatoon3 #スプラトゥーン #SplatoonArt #splatoonoc

#animalcrossing #acnh I've decided to eventually set up a dream address for my island, so the decorating starts in earnest I hope to someday welcome you to New Penzance!

#nowplaying #vinyl 🎵 The Grapes of Wrath - Peace of Mind (Treehouse, 1987)

#nowplaying #vinyl #windhamhill 🎵 Alex De Grassi - Turning: Turning Back (1978)

#nowplaying #vinyl #citypop 🎵 Yumi Matsutoya - 水の中のAsiaへ (1981) I fell for the classic blunder of assuming a 12-inch record was a 33-speed, so my first listen was the "S L O W E D + R E V E R B" experience

#splatoon Have you tried our 3-for-1 special?

#splatoon #splatoonmerch #zine Huge props to the talented artists at @splatbandszine.bsky.social for this inkredible zine! I can't wait to give this record a spin and go cover to cover :)

#nowplaying #winamp #frutigeraero 🎵 s t o p t h e p l a n e t - s t o p t h e p l a n e t (2026) An album this good needs a media player of equal caliber

#splatoon3 #salmonrun Some exciting Eggstra runs! Last run was with @spicynik.bsky.social

Art imitates life... 📷 Moai outside Museo Fonck, Viña del Mar (2022) #animalcrossing #ACNH

Czechia winning 6-3 means I'm happier happy!

Uggggghhhhh CZE v. CAN Olympic hockey and I'm stuck workinggggggg

Some #Splatoon merch I got recently The keychain is from a vintage gaming store in #rva and the adorable pin is by @arumikat.bsky.social

From some turf wars with @spicynik.bsky.social

Turns out flow aura isn't actually that bad... #spatoon3

#nowplaying #yurucamp #anime 🎵 Yuru Camp Season 2 Soundtrack (2021, Comp. Akiyuki Tateyama) Surprise snowfall and a new album. Aside from being one of my favorite animes, Yuru Camp S2 has a remarkable soundtrack with several Andean-influenced tracks (I really like Andean music)

#nowplaying #vinyl 🎵 The Brothers Four - 1970 (Unlicensed, ca. 1970) Earlier today I decided "what the heck" and went and bought another Taiwanese bootleg album, this one from Pioneer Record

#nowplaying #vinyl 🎵 Deep Purple - In Rock (Unofficial, 1970) An unlicensed, Taiwanese pressing from Liming Record and one of the first albums in my collection

#nowplaying #vinyl 🎵 Yes - Tormato (1978)

There's a reason I picked a song called "Sail Away Raymond" for my Animal Crossing island because someone is NOT supposed to be here #animalcrossing #acnh
