8/8 Some tangential nuke stuff I've consumed that came to mind:

A book, the other coast, but maybe still relevant-ish:
The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II goodreads.com/book/show/158016

The Bomb, a bbc podcast exploring her grandfather's role.

7/8 The tweet author provided an interview, which isn't about Loyda Martinez? I think?

But the event spoken of is definitely real, so it's informative. I still don't know about Loyda Martinez. I don't even really care if she's a composite character, but I would like to know what's real and what isn't or what's up.

6/8 A helpful thread commenter said this book about the era mentions Loyda Martinez a few times:

5/8 In an LA Times article, I found this advocacy organization that has links and maybe more info. I didn't go down that rabbithole yet. Could she be there?
This is on the true event:

4/8 Detractors seem sure that Loyda Martinez doesn't exist. I don't usually put much stock in the trolls "research." But my Google search didn't reveal much either. Valdez said Loyda Martinez scrubbed her online presence due to hate whistleblowers receive. Plausible, but because I couldn't find info, I can't say.

3/8 Second, the event is well documented and should have publicity. Maybe this was floated to do just that. But still, I would question the method if the woman doesn't exist.

I agree with the thread that we should learn about people forced off the land and disrupt the mythology around a lot of these historical events that remember white people as the star of the movie with complex feelings.

2/8 Quote from Twitter thread: "We want more films about the "complex and troubled" "heroic" white men, who conducted their GENIUS in a "virtually unpopulated" place. These are ALL lies. This is mythology in service to white supremacy and the military industrial complex, masquerading as "nuanced." "

Interesting conversation with Nuclear historian Robert Jacobs. We discuss the history of weapons of mass destruction and why it's important to be aware of the constant threat of their use.

Its a given that before the advent of and the we lived in a radioactive world. I believe that life developed mechanisms to deal with the harm caused by low level radiation that is all around us. 2/end

In another thread I mentioned this movie about nuclear winter.

It is a very frightening film. Felt very realistic and full of despair.

The slow escalation of conflict over the news while regular folks carry on with their lives until everything falls aparte very quickly.

It is REAL HORROR
