Anyways, my fiancée and I celebrated our two years recently. I’m going into school again and I’m finally finishing up my real estate shit. Life is good.

It’s great to find a dentist that agrees you should take off the horrible made permanent retainer you’ve had since 15 and to remove excess glue your ortho wasn’t able to do so 🫠

Nashville be weird.

Riley Strain was seen by a police officer on woodland st after being spotted on gay st, this gives him a time period of 27 minutes of going down gay st, then walking onto union to get onto woodland. Woodland has a bridge and the officer spotted him on the south side.

This makes me think, did Riley go onto the nitty gritty of Nashville and he was maybe kidnapped and killed? As a person that has grown up in the Nashville area, once you cross that bridge it’s a no man town.

With one dentist stating he barely pressed against her jaw bone and it started to deteriorate and break upon his pressure from his finger. Not only that but that same woman did not need to get her jawbones removed surgically but merely by the dentist pressing and removing her jaws piece by piece with his fingers.

Started reading Radium Girls and honestly I feel so fucking bad because the company they worked for didn’t even disclose the warnings nor the health inspections results they went thru because the company knew it would damage them. Fucking capitalism at its prime. When the company figured out the disclosure basically stated that the girls was suffering from a minimal radium poisoning EVERY DAY (which in addition the reason why their symptoms appeared a year or two after their dial painting job) was DEATHLY. They stored away their results for an entire year while 3(maybe 4 or 5) has passed away from radium poisoning, with two of them suffering from radium jaw. I just don’t get it but then again of course, capitalism.

One thing that drives me nuts about the narrative surrounding the Radium Girls is that the company still has such a strong hold on the way the story is often told.

Granted, it may be an attempt to affirm to a modern audience that these girls--deliberately using 'girls', not 'women' because most of them were in their teens or early twenties at most--had no idea how harmful radium could be, but the narrative always seems to start out that "no one knew it was dangerous".

As soon as anyone does a deep dive, though, you realize someone did: company higher ups. In fact, men working in the same company--doing a different job, that I would say involved less contact with radium--were given full PPE for their jobs. One company scientist, upon hearing the women were practicing "lip-dipping"--which involved the girls using their lips to bring the fine-bristled, radium-soaked paintbrushes to a point--was reportedly horrified and tried to stop the practice, before any of the girls ever reported any symptoms. But the policy wasn't enforced because stopping the girls from lip-dipping cut into profits. So they turned a blind eye, telling the girls radium was completely safe out of one side of their mouth while they told the men to fully suit up out of the other.

There's better coverage of the company's reprehensible behavior during the trials--claiming the girls' symptoms were a sign of syphilis, funding misleading/fabricated studies on the safety of radium, etc. I really just wish it was more clearly stated that the company knew from the start. That knowledge hadn't trickled down to the general population yet, and they fully took advantage of that.
