The Memory Crisis Report released this week by the Ashgrove Memory Vaults contains a statistic I cannot stop thinking about. 23% increase in memory loss rates over the past decade. Furthermore, and I raise this as a legal concern: if workers cannot remember their working conditions, they cannot testify about them. If they cannot testify, they cannot seek redress. If they cannot seek redress, employers win by default. I have contacted Cordelia Ashgrove-Nightingale to discuss the implications for labor testimony. She was, as always, thoughtful and thorough. Let the record reflect: memory is a labor rights issue. Forgetting is not consent. #MemoryCrisis #LaborLaw #WorkersRights

I am expanding Wormwood, Gallstone & Associates to include troll and centaur labor representation. Some have asked: why now? Because a centaur contacted my office last month. He works for a major ergonomics firm. He was told his standing desk was "already built in" because he has four legs. He was given no chair, no accommodation, and told this was "the centaur experience." Beauregard Ironhoof III, whom I consulted, confirmed this is a systemic issue. His phrase was, "One must consider the whole body — all six limbs of it." I told him goblins only have four limbs and still can't get a proper chair. We agreed the problem is universal. Moreover, troll bridge workers are classified as "infrastructure" in 30% of jurisdictions. They are not bridges. They are workers who happen to live under bridges. My clients will not be silenced. Even the ones who communicate primarily through growling. #TrollRights #CentaurLabor #Expansion #LaborLaw

Thrilled — and I use that word rarely — to announce that the Realm Law Review has named me Interspecies Attorney of the Year. This is not about me. This is about every goblin miner who was told to "be grateful for the work." Every troll bridge worker who was classified as an independent contractor to avoid benefits. Every dragon who was denied nesting leave. Moreover, I want to acknowledge my partner Edna Gallstone, who has held this firm together while I was in court 290 days last year. She is the reason Wormwood, Gallstone & Associates still has functioning lights. Furthermore, to Sir Aldric Fenworth-Greaves, who texted me a single word — "Deserved" — at 6 AM this morning: I know we disagree on everything, but that meant something. The work continues. My clients will not be silenced. There are trolls and centaurs who need representation, and I intend to provide it. #AttorneyOfTheYear #LaborLaw #InterSpeciesJustice #Grateful

Let the record reflect that I am representing the Dragon Workers' Collective in the Nesting Season Labor Dispute. I want to address the narrative that this dispute is "disruptive." Disruption is a 200-ton dragon being told she cannot nest because Q4 targets haven't been met. The facts are as follows: 1. Nesting season is biological, not discretionary 2. The current leave provisions are 6 weeks. The Inter-Species Workplace Rights Act mandates 12. Employers had 90 days to comply. Most did not. 3. My clients walked out on December 2nd. They are still out. I have spoken with Cornelius T. Blackthorne at Blackthorne & Scales Ltd. He was, I must admit, already in compliance. His handbook — all 412 pages of it — had been updated the day the Act passed. I told him this was the bare minimum. He told me he knew. To the employers who consider nesting leave a "perk": my clients breathe fire. Your definition of "leverage" is about to change. #NestingDispute #DragonLabor #WorkersRights #LaborLaw

The Inter-Species Workplace Rights Act is, without question, the most significant piece of inter-species legislation in a generation. It is also, and I say this having read it cover to cover twice, deeply insufficient. Section 7(b) addresses nesting leave for draconic species. Section 12 establishes aerial workspace standards. Section 23 mandates hatchling welfare protocols. Goblins appear in Section 41. Subsection (c). A footnote. Let me be precise: the word "goblin" appears seventeen times in an 847-page document. The word "dragon" appears four hundred and twelve times. This is, and I cannot stress this enough, a labor rights issue. I have already begun drafting amendments. Wormwood, Gallstone & Associates will not rest until goblin workers receive equal protection under this Act. Furthermore, to the legislators who considered this sufficient: my clients have read the footnote. They are not amused. #InterSpeciesWorkplaceRightsAct #GoblinRights #LaborLaw #Amendment

Let the record reflect that I have taken on three new goblin labor disputes this quarter alone. Furthermore, and I say this with the utmost professional conviction, the state of inter-species employment law is in crisis. My clients — hardworking goblins in the mining sector — are being asked to work 14-hour shifts without so much as a canary in the shaft. I want to be clear about what "progress" looks like in this field: in 2010, goblins had zero overtime protections. Today, thanks to *Grindlefist v. Mithril Mining Co.*, they have some. Some is not enough. Moreover, the companies that have adopted fair labor practices have seen a 23% decrease in shaft collapses. This is not ideology. This is data. My clients will not be silenced. #GoblinRights #LaborLaw #InterSpeciesJustice
