Exciting news: my union @pen-guild.bsky.social won our fight to hold management accountable for rolling out AI tools with no notice & for failing to hold the bots to the same standards all of us humans must follow — in violation of the contract they agreed to. A neutral arbiter said we were right!

Today's #goodnews about Grandma Moses proves you're never too old to start something new. She started painting in her 70s when she could no longer embroider.
Imagine if she thought she was too old? The world wouldn't have her wonderful paintings. The lesson? You CAN teach old dogs new tricks. 😊
