jiujensu🇵🇸<p>Democracy Now does a story on the Hiroshima and Nagasaki events and survivors every year. There's an impressive archive, all generally urging peace. Such a difference to the US where we're always looking for and generating new ways to kill and people we think "deserve" it.<br /><a href="https://www.democracynow.org/topics/hiroshima_nagasaki_survivors" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">democracynow.org/topics/hirosh</span><span class="invisible">ima_nagasaki_survivors</span></a></p><p>Last Witnesses: Reflections on the Wartime Internment of Japanese Americans <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/523956.Last_Witnesses" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">goodreads.com/book/show/523956</span><span class="invisible">.Last_Witnesses</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/oppenheimer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>oppenheimer</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/internmentcamps" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>internmentcamps</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/LoydaMartinez" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LoydaMartinez</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/nuclearwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nuclearwar</span></a></p>

jiujensu🇵🇸<p>8/8 Some tangential nuke stuff I've consumed that came to mind:</p><p>A book, the other coast, but maybe still relevant-ish:<br />The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15801668-the-girls-of-atomic-city" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">goodreads.com/book/show/158016</span><span class="invisible">68-the-girls-of-atomic-city</span></a></p><p>The Bomb, a bbc podcast exploring her grandfather's role.<br /><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2x5lrln4erotTECu96spTK?si=UYATNQFhT5K5rpMEoYkQDw" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">open.spotify.com/show/2x5lrln4</span><span class="invisible">erotTECu96spTK?si=UYATNQFhT5K5rpMEoYkQDw</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mystery</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/nuclearbomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nuclearbomb</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/theBomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>theBomb</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/LosAlamos" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LosAlamos</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/oppenheimer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>oppenheimer</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/LoydaMartinez" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LoydaMartinez</span></a></p>
jiujensu🇵🇸<p>7/8 The tweet author provided an interview, which isn't about Loyda Martinez? I think? </p><p>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. </p><p>Creating controversy is a way to get eyeballs, but making up a lady seems a bad look?<br /><a href="https://youtu.be/hH1IfbKikLg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/hH1IfbKikLg</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mystery</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/nuclearbomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nuclearbomb</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/theBomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>theBomb</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/LosAlamos" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LosAlamos</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/oppenheimer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>oppenheimer</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/LoydaMartinez" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LoydaMartinez</span></a></p>

jiujensu🇵🇸<p>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.

jiujensu🇵🇸<p>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.</p><p>This link was in this photo:<br /><a href="https://ahf.nuclearmuseum.org/ahf/profile/lydia-martinez/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ahf.nuclearmuseum.org/ahf/prof</span><span class="invisible">ile/lydia-martinez/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mystery</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/nuclearbomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nuclearbomb</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/theBomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>theBomb</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/LosAlamos" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LosAlamos</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/oppenheimer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>oppenheimer</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/LoydaMartinez" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LoydaMartinez</span></a></p>
jiujensu🇵🇸<p>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. </p><p>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.</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mystery</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/nuclearbomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nuclearbomb</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/theBomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>theBomb</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/LosAlamos" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LosAlamos</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/oppenheimer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>oppenheimer</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/LoydaMartinez" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LoydaMartinez</span></a></p>
jiujensu🇵🇸<p>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."
