Super cool that you made this an ASMR roleplay. Super horrific. The radium is chemically similar to calcium, so their bodies processed it the best any human body could, and deposited into their bones. The girls' radioactive skeletons destroyed their soft tissues while they were alive. Their remains are still radioactive today and will be for a long time, still.

Radium Tuesday when me and the gals from the watch factory meet up to hang out, paint our nails with the glowing green paint from work, and talk about how Millie, the girl who worked here the longest, recently died of a mysterious illness!
@@fionarenata4198 I heard she had to stop coming to work because the radium was eating her bones from the inside out and the skin covering her teeth was gone
I've always been interested in the radium girls, so I read The Radium Girls by Kate Moore, and, fun fact, the United States Radium Corporation is more evil and depraved than any generic 90's movie big business villain. Angelica's video is pretty much accurate (with a slight dark humor twist--it feels very haunting). When visiting doctors in the beginning, the girls were diagnosed with syphilis because, 1, doctors at the time just didn't know radium poisoning existed, and, 2, the USRC strongly benefitted from the girls' credibility being tainted. The girls were encouraged to paint everything Angelica mentioned--including their own teeth--while the actual scientists working with radium wore heavy lead aprons and took proper care to avoid being poisoned. The girls glowed in the dark as they walked home every night. Additionally, no one wanted to quit painting watch dials because they could each fully provide for their families with how well the job paid.
Because of this video I ended up watching a short documentary on the radium girls, I think they did know but because of … sexism… they didn’t care and only really did something when a male worrier died
@@audyo14 It's more like the management encouraged the girls to have fun with it, and the girls were like, "Okay, well, this radium stuff has been advertised to be the best and healthiest thing known to man including cleaning toilets, making elixirs, and even enhancing toothpaste, so we'll just paint it everywhere." The radium dust even clung to their clothes. They liked this bc when they went dancing, they glowed. So yeah they painted their teeth, their lips, their nails, etc. and had fun with it. Y'know. Until their jaws fell out.
if anyone is wondering the back story, here it is (thanks to Wikipedia) The Radium Girls were female factory workers who contracted radiation poisoning from painting watch dials with self-luminous paint. The painting was done by women at three different factories, and the term now applies to the women working at the facilities: one in Orange, New Jersey, beginning around 1917; one in Ottawa, Illinois, beginning in the early 1920s; and a third facility in Waterbury, Connecticut, also in the 1920s. After being told that the paint was harmless, the women in each facility ingested deadly amounts of radium after being instructed to "point" their brushes on their lips in order to give them a fine tip;[1] some also painted their fingernails, face and teeth with the glowing substance. The women were instructed to point their brushes in this way because using rags or a water rinse caused them to use more time and material, as the rinse was made from powdered radium, gum arabic and water. Five of the women in New Jersey challenged their employer in a case over the right of individual workers who contract occupational diseases to sue their employers under New Jersey's occupational injuries law, which at the time had a two-year statute of limitations, but settled out of court in 1928. Five women in Illinois who were employees of the Radium Dial Company (which was unaffiliated with the United States Radium Corporation) sued their employer under Illinois law, winning damages in 1938. DEEPER FACTS, BY MOI: the progressive era of America was in 1901-1920 progressivism watered down is just increasing democracy, reforming local government, and big business's being regulated there were muckrakers- a name given from teddy Roosevelt due to them being journalists who wanted to expose corruption and mention political/social reforms. this led to many things such as standard oil company (biiiigg business) being broken up into basically what we know today such as ExxonMobil. also into human trafficking, conditions of labor such as child labor, industrial accidents, etc. this opened up also the meat inspection act due to cardboard and other random things added into the meat.. instead of meat. ALSO the pure food and drug act in 1906 so no more mislabeling products (ex: coca cola having cocaine in it and was seen as a medicine!) during this era women were able to work but treated horridly (as read before). factories had hazardous conditions and in 1911, a fire broke out in the triangle shirtwaist company building. 146 workers died by jumping out of windows or being burnt alive due to doors being locked and poor conditions. it fueled many protests and strikes- which led to better standards of safety the 19th amendment was placed in 1920 (that means anyone regardless of gender were able to vote) there is obviously more but sadly during that time women were treated shittily at work for a long time- and obviously not cared about. i hope these women are at peace and aint suffering : /
One of those girsl was buried in the graveyard across the street from my home Kinda Weird how close that history is The factory I believe was turned into a playground I used to play in
I am currently learning the muckrakers unit in social studies classes and I am wanting to learn more abt the Radium Girls bc I am secretly a history nerd
I actually live in Ottawa Illinois in one of the old Mayor's houses, I'm probably wrong but based off the age of the house it could've been the Mayor's when the Radium dial was around here. I remember learning about these girls in chem class and I remember being told the building was destroyed and buried in three different areas around here. Another fun fact of Ottawa Illinois, we used to have a marble factory somewhere around here as well decades ago, so every so often you'll just find marbles in the dirt.
When I was in elementary school, my class made a trip to an old clock factory. It is located in Schwenningen, Germany, which is known as the "Uhrenstadt" (Clock/Watch-city). There the tour guide told us about the women and sometimes even young girls which had to paint with radium. Apparently the husbands even called their wives their "Glühwürmchen" (firefly) because they glowed in the dark. The tour guide also examined our hands to show us who would have had to work as a radium-girl and as I have pretty small and delicate hands, she pointed me out. I still remember how little me was terrified hahaha
@@maleficentmistressofallevi3252 it still wasn’t that normal in one of her really old videos she cuts your face open with a knife and fork and cuts your skin with doggy nail clippers😂
Great video; I have some insights here as someone who knows a bit about radiation medicine and labour history! Nothing too descriptive as I don't want to upset anyone, but I would like people to understand the nature of their injuries and how "phossy jaw" and other similar occupational injuries common in this era compounded the terrible way they (and others) were treated: My dad actually used to work with radioactive materials as a geotechnical specialist when he worked on nuclear power plant stuff (no details for perhaps obvious reasons). He helped clean up the Three Mile Island incident, and I remember that he had to take iodine pills in order to stop his body from uptaking Caesium into his body as it enters your thyroid and also can store itself in the calcium in your bones to kill you slowly. For medical context, the reason many of the Radium Girls suffered jaw and bone pain is because the radium acted similarly to how caesium does, and absorbed into their bones as the radiation permeated their bodies. As they licked the brushes, the bone in their mouths (teeth, jaws, gums) were the most immediately exposed tissues and calcium in the body, and as a result those areas where the most immediately affected. Later in life, many suffered joint and skeletal pain throughout the body, owing to the accumulation of radiation (total body dose) being enough to damage them head to toe. Awful, agonising stuff. At the time, they were dismissed as having "phossy jaw", which was a more common type of similar facial structure damage: Phossy stands for phosphorus, and many photographers and people who worked with pigments were exposed as an occupational hazard. Those workers were also dismissed and suffered greatly, although obviously as it was not radioactive, the total systemic damage was severe in different ways. I am pointing this out so that you all know that the abuse and neglect of workers in general largely contributed to the lack of public awareness or support for the Radium Girls and many countless others in similar horrific medical situations owing to failures of their employers and failures of legislation to protect people at work. That having been said, loved this video, it's a legit cool idea and I hope it encourages people to research into how people were neglected (not just the Radium Girls; disabled children were fed oatmeal laced with radium to test the side effects, for another example) during the development of nuclear experimentation. Many hundreds of thousands of people were used as test subjects without their knowledge, including those unable to consent (disabled children and adults, many elderly individuals with cognitive impairments like dementia, etc.) and even some scientists working in these programs themselves were often used as test subjects in varying ways. Just a horrific lack of regard for basic human rights and decency, a failure to care for themselves and for the general public, and there are lingering effects to this day. I don't recommend anyone research the radiation tests carried out on children. I have read a lot of the surviving/available documentation for that, and it's heartbreaking and infuriating. I just want you to know that it happened, and it can't be allowed to happen ever again. They were well aware of the potential of what could happen to those kids, and most of their research was used solely to estimate ranges of safe exposure, which could have been determined in ways that never put any human beings at risk at all. Completely pointless suffering.
i used to listen to her asmr when i was in high school, i didn’t understand that much of what’s she said. Because, i was not good enough in english. Know that i’m in college and i got better in english it makes more sense!

the magic decades where de radioactive elements was so common. From 20's to 50's can be founded on simple objects, and chemistry kits. I only saw once Radio, from far, in a school travel, and defenitly, marked my way to my actual job
I feel like this is a ghost aware of how they died, and quite salty about it, but this knowledge is only in the subconscious. In the conscious, they're still living their best life and most definitely not dead.
Started watching this, paused halfway through, went on an hour long research quest, now feeling the strangest mix of intrigued and disturbed. What a story.
what's ur least favorite line from the Radium Girls wikipedia article? mine's this one: "In 1923, the first dial painter died, and before her death, her jaw fell away from her skull."
Imagine how painful, or even HORRIFYING to watch your jaw come apart from your skull! Like dod they feel that everyday or did they somehow lose feeling?? I have essentially NO knowledge on Radium poisoning
as a history nerd this brings me joy about how accurate the history is side note regarding the potato diet plan: When I worked at a small town museum, I was tasked with transcribing a diary found beneath the stairs of a house that was being renovated. The diary was from around 1912 and written by a man who was trying to become more manly and muscular. His diet? POTATOES. LOTS OF POTATOES.
I searched "ASMR you're radioactive" kinda on a whim to see if anyone made a crazy roleplay like that. When I saw this video I almost shouted "Of course it's Angelica!"
I was watching the video, and in about middle of it i closed my eyes, just to see some green lights and flower patterns. The radium went throught the screen
I love they way she does asmr because not only is it super relaxing but it's also entertaining. I personly find it hard to listen to asmr because I have a short attention span but I feel like she makes videos that I could watch for hours on end.
It was an actual thing that happened in the 1920's too, there's quite a few interesting books written about the situation if you want to know more about it :D
Angelica, thanks for the reminder that we need to be educated consumers (that's one of the messages I took from this, at least). For all the makeup wearers out there, here's a list of dangerous / harmful chemicals in makeup that you can check the product labels for: 1. Formaldehyde, a known carcinogen. 2. Paraformaldehyde, a type of formaldehyde. 3. Methylene glycol, a type of formaldehyde. 4. Quaternium 15, which releases formaldehyde. 5. Mercury, which can damage the kidneys and nervous system. 6. Dibutyl and diethylhexyl phthalates, which disrupt hormones and damage the reproductive system. 7. Isobutyl and isopropyl parabens, which disrupt hormones and harm the reproductive system. 8. The long-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances known as PFAS, which have been linked to cancer. 9. M- and o-phenylenediamine, used in hair dyes, which irritate and sensitize the skin, damage DNA and can cause cancer. Take care of yourselves! Source = Environmental Working Group (EWG) website
This video prompted me to research what the Radium Girls were and it was equally interesting and extremely unfortunate. Thank you for teaching me something new!
Mg drama club(HS) is doing the Radium Girls play, and what we had to learn was just awful. The way Radium disguises itself as Calcium in the body caused so much bone decay.
I didnt learn about the radium girls so now that i know about them i watched this and for some reason made me realize this is era isnt talked about as much

DEEPER FACTS, BY MOI:

progressivism watered down is just increasing democracy, reforming local government, and big business's being regulated
there were muckrakers- a name given from teddy Roosevelt due to them being journalists who wanted to expose corruption and mention political/social reforms.
this led to many things such as standard oil company (biiiigg business) being broken up into basically what we know today such as ExxonMobil. also into human trafficking, conditions of labor such as child labor, industrial accidents, etc.
this opened up also the meat inspection act due to cardboard and other random things added into the meat.. instead of meat. ALSO the pure food and drug act in 1906 so no more mislabeling products (ex: coca cola having cocaine in it and was seen as a medicine!)

there is obviously more but sadly during that time women were treated shittily at work for a long time- and obviously not cared about.

Started watching this, paused halfway through, went on an hour long research quest, now feeling the strangest mix of intrigued and disturbed. What a story.
Same
Radium is part of a healthy, balanced diet
om nom nom
delicious radium
I loved this one, it’s my favorite after the Grimes one
The grimes one is so good
Agreed. This is her best video so far. Admire her for staying true to her values & also managing to be entertaining.
i hope my jaw doesn't fall off
Angelica has two of the best points.
1. She's a good at ASMR.
2. She's relatable and has a sense of humor.
what's ur least favorite line from the Radium Girls wikipedia article? mine's this one:
"In 1923, the first dial painter died, and before her death, her jaw fell away from her skull."
yikes
Imagine how painful, or even HORRIFYING to watch your jaw come apart from your skull! Like dod they feel that everyday or did they somehow lose feeling?? I have essentially NO knowledge on Radium poisoning
Supposedly, one girl's leg bone disappeared
as a history nerd this brings me joy about how accurate the history is
side note regarding the potato diet plan: When I worked at a small town museum, I was tasked with transcribing a diary found beneath the stairs of a house that was being renovated. The diary was from around 1912 and written by a man who was trying to become more manly and muscular. His diet? POTATOES. LOTS OF POTATOES.
* jaw rotts off *
I searched "ASMR you're radioactive" kinda on a whim to see if anyone made a crazy roleplay like that.
When I saw this video I almost shouted "Of course it's Angelica!"
YAY LONG VIDEOS
Using the powers of sorting by “newest first”…
You are the first comment.
Congrats UvU
@@SuperiorKalosChampion This is a feat I never thought I would accomplish… Thank you
@@IsaacWhispers you are very welcome UvU ^^
I'm learning more from this channel than from history class
Thank you so so much for bringing this back 💚
Oh my God Angelica your glowing 🤩🤩
THE GREEN LIGHT IN THE BACKGROUND SKDFHKSJDF
I was watching the video, and in about middle of it i closed my eyes, just to see some green lights and flower patterns. The radium went throught the screen
I don't experience ASMR form talking, but you are the best, I feel shivers everywhere 💞💞💞
I love they way she does asmr because not only is it super relaxing but it's also entertaining.
I personly find it hard to listen to asmr because I have a short attention span but I feel like she makes videos that I could watch for hours on end.
Social media is the new radium
I wouldn't even be surprised if this girl used real radium
This is honestly really interesting to me. I absolutely love the possibilities with this story.
It was an actual thing that happened in the 1920's too, there's quite a few interesting books written about the situation if you want to know more about it :D
@@bonniefazbear1987 please, I need to know. Lol
YO THIS HAS LORE
Are we just not going to talk about how amazing Angelica's hair is??
Oh!! We're doing Radium girls as our play in school this year!
I have the same ring she has!
Okay but you genuinely look so good in that shirt, like I wish I could pull that off
Thanks for the alpha particles bestie😌nothing like some high LET radiation to get the blood flowing
did the sound design for a play on this a few years ago. so much information on this has been in my head rent free ever since
Angelica, thanks for the reminder that we need to be educated consumers (that's one of the messages I took from this, at least).
For all the makeup wearers out there, here's a list of dangerous / harmful chemicals in makeup that you can check the product labels for:
1. Formaldehyde, a known carcinogen.
2. Paraformaldehyde, a type of formaldehyde.
3. Methylene glycol, a type of formaldehyde.
4. Quaternium 15, which releases formaldehyde.
5. Mercury, which can damage the kidneys and nervous system.
6. Dibutyl and diethylhexyl phthalates, which disrupt hormones and damage the reproductive system.
7. Isobutyl and isopropyl parabens, which disrupt hormones and harm the reproductive system.
8. The long-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances known as PFAS, which have been linked to cancer.
9. M- and o-phenylenediamine, used in hair dyes, which irritate and sensitize the skin, damage DNA and can cause cancer.
Take care of yourselves!

I had a feeling this took place during the industrial revolution once I heard 16 work hours one meal a day and working with radium!! I just knew💀

This video prompted me to research what the Radium Girls were and it was equally interesting and extremely unfortunate. Thank you for teaching me something new!
* literaly eats radium *
Hmmm I wonder why my brain feels weird
"What is a revolution industrially, or its consequences there of?" Is going to be my go-to answer in history exams from now on
This is really good! ❤️
She really looks amazing in this video 😍 omg
This is so specific and hilarious
Where are you hiding the bodies
Your costume and props are top notch, girl!
“But at the same time it feels great 😃”
Thank you I shall appreciate this gift, especially in a few years!!!!
been waiting for this concept!!! 😭♥️♥️
I love that you include history in your ASMR.. two of my favorite things 🤍
Her hair is amazing, as always
Mg drama club(HS) is doing the Radium Girls play, and what we had to learn was just awful. The way Radium disguises itself as Calcium in the body caused so much bone decay.
Mine too! I live in CT so it was crazy hearing about events knowing that they took place near my hometown
Same here exept I live in the other place it was happening. I’m also doing a hs play
I feel like Angelica does all of her videos high
Keep up the work Angelica!
I didnt learn about the radium girls so now that i know about them i watched this and for some reason made me realize this is era isnt talked about as much
I love this because this is really something that happened in history, I remember learning about it in class. Very interesting thing that people used this for make up and so on
She’s cray and I love it she gives off vibes that she would be the fun weird wild aunt Susan in the counter of the barbecue and it just so funny and calming at the same time keep doing what you do cause you’re awesome at it 💕💕
i love the play radium girls! this is a fun take on it :0
Well the radium girls were real people too. It’s something that actually happened in the 1920s!

“Heaven forbid that the radium run out as opposed to the workers”
Omg that line made my heart sink.
i have actually learned a lot with angelica, about history and even english language (i'm brazilian)
We were learning about Radium in world history and I could only think of this video
