reached millions, and that the person who did it found meaning in it.

↳ In-reply-to » I remembered to put the camera on my tripod. The neighbors yelling around messed up the audio a bit, though. I kinda saved most parts, but it could have been still better.

It's the one in 24. I had to turn down the volume in the audio. :-D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org so adorable! Thank you for the video, I downloaded it. Azabache’s life is seemingly so pleasant, and the sing song, oh my! 🎶😍
