I refuse to stop using em dashes, Oxford commas, and the word “delve” just because AI uses them more often. I was using them long before AI, and will keep using them long after. You can pry them out of my cold, dead hands.

They locked. The fucking. Door.

One of the only viable escape routes in any kind of emergency.

Just... locked.

To prevent theft, they said to justify it. Because profit was more important than safety.

I learned about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in college and it has continued to hold an iron grip on my soul for years. It may seem a weird and morbid thing to obsess over, but it's so interesting (and awful) just how fucking preventable it was. So many underpaid, poorly-treated immigrant workers (mostly women) died horrific deaths (burning alive and jumping out of windows) because those in power were greedy and paranoid and they just didn't care. The fire itself was an accident iirc but it was the inevitable result of unsafe, exploitative working conditions.

There had been protests prior to the fire, people trying to raise the alarm and push for change, but not much came of it. No one listened. Not really.

Not until after the fire, of course. When the public was forced to see and read about the carnage, the loss of human life, and the terror that the victims must have felt. It was a terrible spectacle. The company at fault looked like the villains they were. There was, finally, public outrage. And only then did things change.

It was too late for those who died, and it wasn't enough, but it was a start.

The shirtwaist factory fire wasn't even the last time Triangle was caught pulling that shit, either. It's just the example people remember.

Triangle rebuilt their factory somewhere else and were caught locking the doors again.

So, even when a tragedy is a catalyst for positive change, we still have to be vigilant and hold people in power accountable.

I think they locked the doors just to prevent the workers from leaving during the work day. But the workers were also crammed together in that factory with plenty of flammable material. More things of note, the doors to the outside were pull only—not push—so it would make it harder to evacuate in the case of an emergency, there were no fire escapes, and there was something else that I can’t remember that made it difficult for those on the upper floors to reach ground level. The Triangle Shirt Waist Factory bypassed many safety procedures—what little that they had back then—all so they could profit off their workers’ labor.

I was doing some muscle studies and decided to turn one into Yasha Nydoorin. I got lost in the sauce a little with this one. I don't feel like I did Yasha justice, but I also want to feel okay with posting things I'm not 100% happy with. Sorry Ashley Johnson, I'll do better job on Yasha another day, because she deserves it.
