It makes a mew so exquisitely tiny that it is audible only to the night sky’s most brilliant bats, and possibly NASA.

We are a museum.
And we run a $0M portfolio of businesses.
This is our daily routine.

fun fact: farmers historically reared rectangular sheep so that they could be stacked up high and arranged in intricate LEGO-like structures
