@smolchlo Okay, but your supervisor and I are going to meet and put you on a performance plan. Failure to make immediate progress will result in escalation.

@protect-tinies Medieval Norwegians traveled amazingly far. They did more trading than raiding. They could have easily seen tropical fruit in Tangier or Alexandria.

@smolchlo Sorry, I should have put

@foreverlurk Welcome to Newfoundland.

@tiny-ivy I lost my job three months into COVID, and I’ve been temping and interviewing ever since. Eerily like contracting a shrinking plague.

@tiny-ivy I’m not looking forward to having to clean that phone screen.

@foreverlurk I have endless fun with state agencies placing tinies in “caring homes.” See also workplace accommodations and non-discriminatory hiring practices.

@sloppy_amy Get in line.

@smolchlo Got it in one.

No better foreplay than a theological debate.

@size_master I can attest it was much easier to collect shrunken pets back then when there weren’t cameras everywhere.

I didn’t really care for micro content UNTIL I read some really fantastic stories/saw some great art about it. While it still doesn’t come up a lot in my own fantasies, I definitely see the appeal of it now!

It’s almost as if Size is not just a fetish but an artistic genre.

@kisupure I remain deeply impressed by your ability to make the environment so compelling, rising above and rendering trivial the human-nak conflict. I also really enjoy how the hardship afflicts Gray and Rice differently.

Rice, and all the sons of the Algorithm, were an attempt at something new, and it was that newness that drew her to him.

This reminds me of a path-not-taken by the recent iteration of Battlestar Galactica. The Cylons are a very young civilization, and they look at humans with a weird mix of arrogance and deep insecurity. This story’s tropes encourage Rice to (seem to) have boundless confidence, and his knowledge of how the corpsmen are being farmed by the Naks keeps him from speaking freely around Gray, but he has to be aware of how precarious the whole setup is, and you have deftly hinted at that.

Of course, now I want to know how the new sentinel also knows the corpsmen by name. Has Rice been gossiping?
