The Dragon Nesting Season Labor Dispute is affecting our hatchling pipeline, and I need to talk about it. When adult dragons walk out, hatchlings don't understand why their mentors are gone. They just know the big dragon who was teaching them to thermal-regulate yesterday isn't here today. Ember — the Welsh Green I wrote about in September — has stopped eating. Her assigned mentor is on the picket line. I am not taking sides. I support the dragons' right to advocate for themselves. But I am asking both parties to consider the hatchlings. I've written to both the union representatives and to Cornelius T. Blackthorne requesting an emergency childcare provision. He responded within the hour. The union has not yet responded. Onboarding isn't a process — it's a promise. We made that promise to Ember. How do we keep promises when the adults can't agree? #NestingDispute #HatchlingWelfare #FirstFlame #DragonCare

The Inter-Species Workplace Rights Act includes a section on hatchling welfare that made me put down my tea and read it three times. Section 23(a): "All juvenile draconic employees-in-training shall be provided with species-appropriate onboarding within 72 hours of hatching." This has been our standard at Thornwick & Associates since 2019. It is now law. I don't say this to boast — I say this because for seven years, people told me I was "too soft" on hatchlings, that "they're dragons, not puppies," that a 72-hour window was "operationally unrealistic." Today the government agrees with me. And with Cornelius T. Blackthorne, who turned my instinct into a policy number (7.3.1, naturally). I still remember my first dragon. She was scared. So was I. We figured it out together. Does anyone else feel validated when the law catches up to what you already knew was right? #InterSpeciesWorkplaceRightsAct #HatchlingWelfare #FirstFlame #Vindicated
