A map depicting composite deposition of radioactive material across the contiguous U.S. from the Trinity test in New Mexico and from 93 atmospheric tests in Nevada.

Fallout map from nuke tests. The original map comes from the SGS group @ Princeton. I put the interactive map together on RAMADDA.

I found their use of colors quite beautiful

the slow creep of foreshadowing and eventual terror in subnautica is SOOO good 💕

You did nuke drills?? That's crazy to me they stopped doing those here in the early 90s and we're spitting distance from Cuba lol

well okay so i wasn't sure if i should include the nuke drills or not, bc they were like? way less serious than the other drills? like we did them every single year for some reason but it always felt like it was more about the history of it all than any actual attempt to prepare for a legitimate nuclear event, if that makes sense? they'd show us the old black and white bert the turtle duck and cover PSA video that students used to watch back in the day and they made us practice the duck and cover part, but it was always way more lighthearted than the other kinds of drills, and the teacher would usually always throw in a "we're supposed to practice this but just so y'all know, this wouldn't help at all in an actual nuclear emergency" so. ???? dunno what that was about. the earthquake/fire/active shooter/lockdown drills were always wayyyy more serious. the building our school was in was really prone to gas leaks for some reason so we had to use the fire evac protocol a few times due to gas leaks, and i think we had a small earthquake at one point. i remember we had a lockdown cause they found a weapon in the building one time, and then we had to lockdown for an active shooter/etc type situation a couple times bc sth was going down at a hospital that was close enough to our building that we got pulled into the lockdown radius just to be safe. this was in NV between 2009 and 2016 for context

Hey Washington what happened at that Hanford site? I really would like to know

Oh! Uh.... Nuclear testing. Specifically for weapons.

Wasn't great and affected a lot of the environment surrounding the site.

let’s say for silly reasons my yet to be named oc band because my silly ass is bad at naming and next gen live in a big studio together (this gives me an excuse to make up interactions) like next gen put a “for new and trying musicians: impress us and well let you have a place” or something

ahaha yeah! that'd be cute for a little au but as for the main story I'm afraid I do have a very specific idea for the location and story so I can't make this canon to the au for the story purposes, but it's super cute

Yeah yeah! You’ll all get your rant. I just want to research some things first…and also maybe talk to some people. But you’ll get your rant about dictators and the destruction of self and how it pertains to lots of things here in the next few weeks.

Check the tags. I ramble there for some stupid reason.

But the long and short of it is. I’m dying at work so expect the full rant and ramble in like March. Also if you knows things. DM me.
