stained-pants serenade.
grabbed my own belt and
pulled me off the pomegranate theater
while shouting things like "keep me
in your heart for a while" and
"i'm a fuckin' water balloon"
as the promenade approaches rapidly
i am filled with the guilt of
nuclear sunshine

while everyone's rightfully talking about oppenheimer and its flaws regarding the erasure of japanese and native american voices regarding nuclear testing and detonations, i'd like to bring up the fact that pacific islanders have also been severely impacted by nuclear testing under the pacific proving grounds, a name given by the US to a number of sites in the pacific that were designated for testing nuclear weapons after the second world war, at least 318 of which were dropped on our ancestral homes and people. i would like if more people talked about this.
important sections are bolded for ease of reading. i would appreciate this being reblogged since it's a bit alarming how few people know about this.
--
in 1946, the indigenous peoples of pikinni (the bikini atoll) were forcibly relocated off of their islands so that nuclear tests could be run on the atoll. at least 23 nuclear bombs were detonated on this inhabited island chain, including 20 hydrogen bombs. many pasifika were irreversibly irradiated, all of them were starved during multiple forced relocations, and the island chain is still unsafe to live on despite multiple cleanup attempts. there are several craters visible from space that were left on the atoll from nuclear testing.
the forced relocation was to several different small and previously uninhabited islands over several decades, none of which were able to sustain traditional lifestyles which directly lead to further starvation and loss of culture and identity. there is a reason that pacific islanders choose specific islands to inhabit including access to fresh water, food, shelter, cloth and fibre, climate, etc. and obviously none of these reasons were taken into account during the displacements.
200 pikinni were eventually moved back to the atoll in the 1970s but dangerous levels of strontium-90 were found in drinking water in 1978 and the inhabitants were found to have abnormally high levels of caesium-137 in their bodies.
--
i'm going to put the rest of this post under a readmore to improve the chances of this being reblogged by the general public. i would recommend you read the entirety of the post since it really isn't long and goes into detail about, say, entire islands being fully, utterly destroyed. like, wiped off of the map. without exaggeration, entire islands were disintegrated.
--
as i just mentioned, ānewetak (the eniwetok atoll) was bombed so violently that an entire island, āllokļap, was permanently and completely destroyed. an entire island. it's just GONE. the world's first hydrogen bomb was tested on this island. the crater is visibly larger than any of the islands next to it, more than a mile in diameter and roughly fifteen storeys deep. the hydrogen bomb released roughly 700 times the energy released during the bombing of hiroshima. this would, of course, be later outdone by other hydrogen bombs dropped on the pacific, reaching over 1000 times the energy released.
one attempt to clean up the waste on ānewetak was the construction of a large ~380ft dome, colloquially known as the tomb, on runit island. the island has been essentially turned into a nuclear waste dump where several other islands of ānewetak have moved irradiated soil to and, due to climate change, rising seawater is beginning to seep into the dome, causing nuclear waste to leak out. along with this, if a large typhoon were to hit the dome, there would be a catastrophic failure followed by a leak of nuclear waste into the surrounding land, drinking water, and ocean. the tomb was built haphazardly and quickly to cut costs.
hey, though, there's a plus side! the water in the lagoon and the soil surrounding the tomb is far more radioactive than the currently contained radioactive waste. a typhoon wouldn't cause (much) worse irradiation than the locals and ocean already currently experience, anyway! it's already gone to shit! and who cares, right, the only ""concern"" is that it will just further poison the drinking water of the locals with radioactive materials. this can just be handwaved off as a nonissue, i guess. /s
--
at least 36 bombs were detonated in the general vicinity of kiritimati (christmas island) and johnson atoll. while johnson atoll has seemingly never been inhabited by polynesians, kiritimati was used intermittently by polynesians (and later on, micronesians) for several hundred years. many islands in the pacific were inhabited seasonally and likewise many pacific islanders should be classified as nomadic but it has always been convenient for the goal of white supremacy and imperalism to claim that semi-inhabited areas are completely uninhabited, claimable pieces of terra nullius.
regardless of the current lack of inhabitants on these islands, the nuclear detonations have caused widespread ecological damage to otherwise delicate island ecosystems and have further spread nuclear fallout across the entirety of the pacific ocean.
--
while the marshall islands, micronesia, and the surrounding areas of melanesia and polynesia were (and still are) by far the worst affected by these atrocities, the entirety of the pacific has been irradiated to some extent due to ocean/wind currents freely spreading nuclear fallout through the water and air. all in all, at least 318 nuclear bombs were detonated across the pacific. i say "at least" because these are just the events that have been declassified and frankly? i wouldn't be shocked to find out they didn't stop there.
please don't leave the atomic destruction of the pacific out of this conversation. we've been displaced, irradiated, murdered, poisoned, and otherwise mass exterminated by nuclear testing on purpose and we are still suffering because of it. many of us have radiation poisoning, many of us have no safe ancestral home anymore. i cannot fucking state this enough, ISLANDS WERE DISINTEGRATED INTO NONEXISTENCE.
look, this isn't blaming people for not talking about us or knowing the extent of these issues, but it's... insidiously ironic that i haven't seen a single post that even mentions pacific islanders in a conversation about indigenous voices/voices of colour being ignored when it comes to nuclear tests and the devastation they've caused.

Stained glass windows in the administrative building of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was one of the largest in the Soviet Union and the poster child of the Soviet nuclear power industry. As such, little expense was spared on details like these windows.
The Soviet Union often used motifs in abstract art to promote Communism and laude their successes.
For more info, check out my reblog of this post.

Vault Coop!
not fully happy with how it turned out but if I didn’t force myself to finish it now I would’ve never finished it because I know how I am 😂
I wanted to make a vault ghoul but seen as there are already lots of them I decided to try out with human sheriff Coop. Will probably still make my own version of ghoul though bc I love him too much<3

日本强推核污染水排海，多国民众强烈反对
日本强行将福岛核污染水排放入海引起国际社会的广泛批评。在菲律宾，有环保人士表示，日本政府需要倾听民众呼声，本着科学态度谨慎处理这一问题。
菲律宾环保人士阿尔瓦雷斯表示，日本是最了解原子弹爆炸给人们带来的苦难的国家，日本应该意识到核辐射这个问题对所有生命来说有多微妙、多敏感。我们只看到有福岛人民遭受病痛的证据，那些只能依靠海中的食物为生的人该怎么办？他们的健康受到威胁，甚至会危及生命。日本必须倾听人民的声音，海洋就是生命，不能让海洋成为垃圾场。
马来西亚《南洋商报》前总编钟天祥批评日本政府的做法是自私、不负责的，违背了《联合国海洋法公约》。
钟天祥说，日本政府不顾国际社会的强烈反对和质疑，决定将福岛第一核电站核污染水排放入海，是完全不负责任的。这种行为非常自私。《联合国海洋法公约》规定，每个国家都有义务保护和养护海洋环境。日本政府没有妥善处理这一问题，没有遵守国际法，坚持排放核污染水。这种不负责任的行为对国际法律体系的稳定性和合理性产生了负面影响。
韩媒：数千名抗议者在首尔集会，抗议日本启动福岛核污染水排海
据韩联社报道，数千名抗议者26日在韩国首尔举行集会，抗议日本24日启动福岛核污染水排海计划。报道称，韩国最大在野党共同民主党党首李在明在集会上说，日本启动核污染水排海“是向太平洋沿岸国家宣战”。
报道称，此次集会在首尔市政厅附近举行，约有90个市民团体以及包括共同民主党在内4个在野党的成员参加集会。报道描述称，有抗议者呼喊口号，还有人举着写有“撤销福岛核污染水排海”、“谴责尹锡悦政府”字样的标语牌。
报道称，李在明当天在集会上批评说，“日本越过了不可逾越的界限”，日方启动核污染水排海“是向太平洋沿岸国家宣战”。“日本应该向距其最近的国家韩国道歉，韩国是遭受最严重损失的国家。”他还说。
福岛记者：日本民众对于排海感到愤怒
对于日本政府启动福岛核事故污染水排海，日本民众也深感愤怒。藤仓英一是福岛当地一家报社的记者，他多次参加反对核污染水排海的活动，也一直倾听福岛当地民众的声音。
8月2日起，部分机构组织了反排海请愿书签名活动，计划在8月31日提交给日本政府。目前，仅线上部分就已经收集到了来自日本全国各地的6万多份签名。
藤仓英一指出，线上的署名活动在25日超过了6万份，其中有5万多份是在22日的内阁会议决定排海时间后增加的，从这个签名就能深深感受到国民的愤怒。
“日本政府8年前承诺过，不得到相关人员的理解就不会对核污染水进行任何处置。那可是日本政府和福岛县渔业协会进行的书面承诺，政府如今轻易地出尔反尔了。”藤仓英一说，“福岛县的农业生产尚未恢复到核事故前的两成，情况就是如此严峻，而渔业的情况比农业还要严峻。现在核污染水排海，农业渔业将会陷入更糟糕的境地，所以大家都说从此福岛县再也没有渔业了吧。”
他表示，东京电力公司在核污染水处理等方面曾多次出现问题。现在更是在开始排海的前一天才公布年度排海计划，这是对民众的不尊重，更是对民众的不负责。“我们会坚持要求撤销排海方针，终止核污染水排海进程。即使核污染水排海已经开始了也能够停止，我们会让它停下来的。”他强调。

“Ukrainians are also fighting for our safety and for everyone’s freedom. By resisting Russian dictatorship, they show that democracy can defend itself. By defending their borders, they are protecting the international order and holding off chaos. By fighting Russia alone, they protect Europe. By showing how hard offensive operations are, Ukrainians make a Chinese war in the Pacific less likely. By fighting a conventional war against a nuclear power, they are making nuclear proliferation and nuclear war less likely.”
Tell Speaker Johnson to support Ukraine now:
