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 Hardβ€’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

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

Species card of a bright green Acutignathid occlupanid, Migrugibba vulpis "Little bumps of the fox". Discovered by Students at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC. It has been since found in two locations, on opposite ends of the continent, both times inside large diverse hoards of other occlupanids.

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...

Photo of a vinyl record on a turntable with the album propped up beside it.  The album cover features a photograph of a grassy hill with two trees against a blue sky.  Plain white text in the corner reads "George Winston Winter Into Spring Piano Solos"

Because I have waited two hours XD

Photo of a 7-inch single record on a turntable with the sleeve propped up behind it.  The sleeve features a color photograph of three men seated on the deck of a sailboat conversing with each other.  Plain text at the top reads "Crosby, Stills & Nash" and below that "Southern Cross"

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

Clever!

I'm thinking if someone were to make an octopus squid character they should have the ears and tentacles of an octoling but the eyes, teeth, and hands of an inkling

It would be cool to see a character based on an octopus squid, perhaps as a spy among octarians or an inkling who is always mistaken for an octoling

There's actually a species of irl squid called "octopus squid" because two of their tentacles stop growing before fully maturing which means they kinda only have 8 tentacles

Inktolings remind me of that

Photo of a CD jewel case on top of a record player.  The album cover is a photo-collage of medieval-style illustrations of a woman and a baby superimposed over a blue-tinted photo of the moon with a few random fish flying around and a parchment or manuscript in the background.  The title at the top is printed in medieval-style font and reads "Pilgrimage  9 Songs of Ecstasy"

Animal Crossing: New Horizons screenshot showing the player character standing next to a welcome sign decorated with flowered bushes, hedges, and four lilly-of-the-valley flowers.  The sign features a custom illustration of a beach with sea and sky. Text on the sign reads  "New Penzance" and "Sunshine life for me"

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!
