alright
ouch
I received some
constructive criticism
that I'm bothering about
problems that are
TOO FUKKEN HUGE
and ignoring the so called
real problems
okay
I tend to do that
like with the
OMNITRANSPOSITION
or the project
CAATINGA BEES

very rarely I think small
but today we're going to do a round of
