I saw these ice pops at the store and immediately thought of Shiver and Master Mega #splatoon

Got some rain at home and in #animalcrossing

#nowplaying #vinyl 🎵 Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Waiting for the Rain (Angel Station, 1979) A much-needed weekend of cold rain

#nowplaying #vinyl 🎵 Jethro Tull - Bursting Out (1978) In the two weeks since I've moved I still haven't figured out the best placement for my turntable and album stand

For those with scientific interest in our "Diversity of Occlupanids" wall hanging, here is a numeric overlay along with a link to our species listing, so you can test your mettle on occlupanid identification! www.horg.com/horg/wp-cont...

I haven't played anything in a week since I've been moving, so it was nice to come back to #splatoon for a few Salmon Runs with a friend (if anyone knows RubbaDub send my regards)

Possibly the most sinister name on my taxonomic board... #occlupanid #breadclip

Don't push MeeEeeeEeeEeeeEeee!!! A steel eel tries for one last sneaky bump before exploding into a million pieces #splatoon #salmonrun

@midnight-the-octo.bsky.social good luck!

Our Cultural Occlupanology team proudly unveils a colorful addition to the studious halls of HORG. Behold our new wall display, "A Diversity of Occlupanids"! These specimens have been assembled from occlupanids collected throughout HORG's history, as well as many donated from contributing scholars.

#nowplaying #vinyl #animalcrossing #happyhomeparadise While designing a home for Digby I took inspiration from Harry Chapin's "Country Dreams" (1977) about a real estate agent selling property in the countryside. It seemed fitting to include a for sale sign and workspace for sales calls.

#nowplaying #vinyl 🎵 Richard Torrance - I Just Don't Know (Eureka, 1974)

We cleared 3 waves shorthanded, including a swarm of glowflies, and I can guarantee you that Mr. Grizzco will just throw a pizza party and then send us back out And we'll probably only get 1 slice each... #splatoon #salmonrun

#nowplaying #vinyl 🎵 Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane - Rough Mix (1977)

#nowplaying #vinyl Cheech and Chong (1971) What with the day it is...

These next species have arrived courtesy of the Heung-Shing Expeditionary Lab for Occlupanology (HELO), and both have a connection to Infirmimaxilla kurisu. The first is the latest in a string of ever-increasingly-clever mimics in the genus Kurisuphenax, found on paper bags of grapes in Hong Kong.

The HORG mailroom was recently gifted a collection of mail art 'Artistamps' crafted by Nonlocal Variable. The stamps depict diverse HORG holotypes collaged with artists in one set, and another cleverly re-arranged with invertebrate nomenclature from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur.

This year's late playing of Superstar is brought to you by Orthodox Easter and the Julian calendar 🎵 Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice - Jesus Christ Superstar (1970) #nowplaying #vinyl

First win of the Spring #Splatfest and a second win with ☆●○mi☆ (if anyone knows them send my regards) Something about the neon glow of the ink really plays havoc on my colorblindness #splatoon

These doughnuts are great! Jelly-filled are my favorite. Nothing beats a jelly-filled doughnut!

Discovered in a shipment of laboratory gloves by field researcher C. Cody. Often such gloves would be shipped in a cardboard tube, but one shipment arrived swaddled in a large plastic bag with C. necopinus attached. It is surmised that this occlupanid escaped predation during its postal migration.

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!
