@skysayl it’s actually quite easy to think of Canadians as little people.

Side note, but I’m pretty sure Stockholm syndrome was disproved, because the robbers were relatively normal people, and the police were such assholes the people ‘afflicted’ just didn’t want to help them.

This is correct. The police were incompetent and endangered the lives of the hostages, and afterwards one of the hostages (a woman) told reporters “At least the robbers expressed some concern for our safety.” The police were indignant and smeared the hostages as emotionally unstable and brainwashed by the robbers.

“Stockholm Syndrome” might have been forgotten as baseless slander but a couple of years later the Patty Hearst trial was all over the media and defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey (whom you might remember from the OJ Simpson trial) tried to use a “brainwashing” defense for Hearst, who had actively participated in crimes committed by her kidnappers. The defense failed, but the “syndrome” was implanted in the public consciousness.

@tiny-ivy Don’t mind if I do.

What Happens When a Romance Writer Gets Locked Out of Google Docs

A jar just traps a tiny, but it gives them no privacy and no coziness. It’s not shelter. It’s a prison, fit for a mere object or for a curiosity.

Yup, jars are for callous-to-cruel custodians.

However, I get the need to be able to see your tiny at all times. Might I suggest a terrarium? It can be furnished, including separate areas for watering, feeding, and toileting.

My ideal setup would have the terrarium on an extendible bookshelf that can be rolled back inside the shelving unit with a retractable front panel when concealment is necessary. When extended, the terrarium would be next to my desk chair with the top level with my desktop so I could keep an eye on her/them while I work.

@bigcuddlygiant Those heels, ouch!

As @Aborigen writes, Hey, You, Get Off of the Cloud.

@smolchlo Some people just don’t know the value of what they have. You’d do better being auctioned on eBabe.

@MightyTinyGiant is inviting you to Scribble. Last year I didn’t give this any serious consideration until inspiration struck in the final week of September and I knocked out Lead Me Not Into Temptation.

Don’t think, just write.

@smolchlo Firebugs get stamped out.

@IndependentFish Love the redacted names. Lots of good potential here.

@smolchlo Sigh. [grabs fire-extinguisher] 🧯

@bigcuddlygiant OMG I’d suckle those thighs for dessert!

I was expecting her to be hiding under his toque, directing him by yanking his hair.

@phoenix09 Perhaps she’s just playing her part.
