Margaret Atwood Violently Burned 'The Handmaid's Tale' to Make a Powerful (and Pricey) Point
In collaboration with her publisher Penguin Random House, Margaret Atwood released a short video that shows the author trying to burn a copy of her own book, because, as the caption on the video reads, "powerful words can never be extinguished." The author, however, is unsuccessful. And therein lies the point.To raise awareness about the recent rise of book bans, this copy of her novel, The Handmaid’s Tale, was made fire resistant specially for this display. It was displayed at Sotheby’s New York until the auction ended on June 7, with the $130,000 it earned in proceeds going to PEN America, a non-profit organization that works to defend freedom of expression.RELATED: Dr. Seuss’ Most Memorable Book Characters – And Ones You Might Want to ForgetMargaret Atwood’s famous dystopian novel has long been one of the most commonly targeted books since 1990 in the United States and has been the subject of controversy all over the world.“I never thought I’d be trying to burn one of my own books… and failing. The Handmaid’s Tale has been banned many times—sometimes by whole countries, such as Portugal and Spain in the days of Salazar and the Francoists, sometimes by school boards, sometimes by libraries,” said Atwood in an announcement.“Let’s hope we don’t reach the stage of wholesale book burnings, as in Fahrenheit 451.”The Handmaid’s Tale’s History with CensorshipThe Handmaid’s Tale is an award-winning novel that takes place in the fictional Republic of Gilead, which has overthrown the United States; a place where freedom of choice does not exist and women are oppressed in every imaginable way.It tells the story of a one-dimensional totalitarian society, where women are denied nearly all of their rights and are forced into roles of servitude defined by the state. They are indoctrinated into conformity and the handmaids’ only purpose is childbearing. The story centers around Offred and everything that’s been taken away from her.RELATED: 17 Margaret Atwood Quotes to Inspire the Writer in YouSince its publication in 1985, Margaret Atwood’s best-selling work has been adapted into a movie, an opera and a popular HBO series. But, along with its massive success, the classic book has been met with an almost equal amount of controversy over the years, typically due to its “vulgarity” and “sexual content.”Not one to shy away from controversial issues, Margaret Atwood has become one of the most vocal critics of book censorship, and her work and tenacity continue to inspire book lovers everywhere.Why Margaret Atwood Made a Fireproof Book (and How Much Money It Made)When Rethink creative directors Caroline Friesen and Robbie Percy heard about a list including hundreds of books slated for potential banning in Texas in late 2021, the two wondered if they could create a piece of work that could resist censorship. “We started looking into it and saw just how many challenges and book bans were happening, and that in some places elected officials were even threatening to burn books,” they said in an interview.RELATED: 14 Best Motivational Books for WomenDetermined to do something about it, they agreed that crafting an unburnable edition of The Handmaid’s Tale could deliver a powerful message.“For us, the book is a symbol of the importance of free expression and a reminder of just how important it is to protect stories like The Handmaid's Tale. Having access to a diverse range of opinions, perspectives and voices is so important for young people and for our society as a whole.”The Unburnable Book’s cover is made out of a thick black material called Cinefoil and it includes white heat shield foil pages with sections bounded together with nickel wire. There is just no way it can catch on fire, ever. The Recent Surge in Book Burnings and Censorship, ExplainedThe attempt to ban literature is hardly a new phenomenon but the drive to challenge books has gained momentum in the United States recently with the American Library Association tracking 729 challenges to library, school and university materials and services last year. Each challenge can include several books and the ALA found 1,597 separate titles were either challenged or removed.Among those were the 29 books a Kansas school district pulled out of circulation from its libraries last November, including The Handmaid’s Tale and its sequel, The Testaments, but both were quickly returned to bookshelves.More recently, in early January, a Tennessee school board voted unanimously to ban Maus, a famous graphic novel about the holocaust from an eigth-grade curriculum, citing language and nudity concerns.Freedom of expression defenders have noted that books by authors of color, books about the LGBTQ community, as well as books about sexual health are threatned the most.The History of Book Banning Is More Fiery Than You Thinkbooks on manifestingThe most challenged, banned and even burned books throughout history are for the most part known as literary classics today. Religious texts, Shakespeare, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and even the Harry Potter series have been repeat targets of censorship efforts for various reasons.Written work banning goes back to ancient times when books were usually burned in order to completely destroy the ideas expressed within them. Possession of banned books throughout history have been regarded as acts of treason and dissent, which were met with penalties such as imprisonment, torture and even death. RELATED: Why J.K. Rowling’s Controversies Crushed Harry Potter Fans and Changed Celebrity CultureLuckily, times have changed and the world has mainly moved away from such archaic forms of punishment, but book censorship is still very much “alive and well,” and intellectual freedom remains under threat. By the same token, censorship opponents such as librarians, authors and publishers continue to fight back and resist in droves. They believe that book banning, especially from schools, strips young people’ds agency away, depriving them of opportunities to read and learn about themselves and the world around them. Interestingly enough though, book bans usually have the opposite effect and lead to increased sales… which leaves one to wonder: why even bother? Reading is a gift: it broadens the imagination, entertains us and most important teaches us. The world would be a dull place without books, and the ideas inside them, just like Margaret Atwood's special edition, cannot be so easily turned to ash... for better or worse.KEEP READING:Who Was the REAL Dr. Seuss – And Is His Legacy Positive… or Problematic?
Euphoria Quotes: The Show's Most Biting and Powerful Quotes - And What They Say about You
In case you missed the memo, Euphoria is not only the second-most watched HBO series in the network’s history (after Games Of Thrones), it’s also the most-tweeted about show of the decade.“The world’s coming to an end, and I haven’t even graduated high school yet.” That quote alone sets the tone for Euphoria, which takes an almost fatalist approach to one particularly intriguing character’s life. Then again, as the show also intimates, “Nothing in high school lasts forever.” Though sometimes, that may not be as positive as you think.Based on an Israeli miniseries of the same name, Euphoria is set in an unnamed Southern California suburb and centers around Rue Bennett, the show’s main character, as she struggles with loss, mental health issues, and substance abuse. At the same time, the hit HBO drama follows her friends, a group of Gen-Z teenagers, as they deal with some of the harsh realities of growing up, tackling subjects like trauma, addiction and identity. With no shortage of controversial scenes and a deep exploration of heavy topics, Euphoria paints a vivid picture of modern teenage life. From insecurities leading a young girl to date a boy who spent years making fun of her, to gun violence and overdose, Euphoria is not for the faint of heart.RELATED: How Euphoria’s Nude Scenes Helped Sydney Sweeney Fight a Degrading Double StandardActor and singer Zendaya’s portrayal of Rue has been so captivating throughout the show’s run that she recently made history by becoming the youngest performer to win an Emmy award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, and the second Black woman to win the award, behind Viola Davis.There are a million things one can say about Euphoria, but you can expect to see a blend of unique storylines and masterful cinematography. It's filled with intense moments that can follow someone throughout their entire life, and thought-provoking dialogue that sticks long after watching the show. But what are some of the most memorable lines from the show?You’ve Got To Believe In The Poetry...Full Quote: "You’ve got to believe in the poetry because everything else in your life will fail you, including yourself.” - Ali MuhammadSitting across from each other in a diner in the series' first special, Rue admits to her sponsor Ali that she is struggling with the Narcotics Anonymous (NA) program’s second step, which is to believe in a power greater than ourselves. She remembers how her whole world came crashing down after losing her father to cancer; she lost faith and now refuses to believe in anything. Ali demonstrates compassion and empathy for Rue but urges her to believe in something if she’s serious about changing her ways.RELATED: Inventing Anna’s 10 Best Quotes – And How They Can Make You Feel More AudaciousBy encouraging her to “believe in the poetry,” Ali emphasizes that having faith in something greater than ourselves helps to weather the ups and downs of recovery so that those in need can come out sober and healthy on the other side.It reminds us that keeping faith, even in something that can’t be explained, and especially when it seems impossible, can help us to become more clear, more grounded and more focused on our goals.What's A Bigger Feeling Than Love?Elliot and Rue enjoy a platonic relationship in Season 2, and usually end up doing drugs whenever they get together. In one intimate moment, as Rue describes her feelings for Jules, Elliot asks her this quoted question and she follows up with a raw and honest response.Rue answers “loss,” something she’s struggled with since her father died and is obviously a painful experience she’s afraid of reliving with Jules. It’s not uncommon for those who’ve experienced grief to spend their whole life afraid people close to them will pass. Of course, we all know that day will come eventually, but the feeling can be all-consuming if left unchecked. This heartfelt exchange reminds us that nothing in our life is permanent and that we should hold on tight to the things we have and appreciate them while we can.

Throughout the show, Rue offers a much-needed and honest perspective on what it’s like to live with multiple mental health disorders. Mental illness makes it so that you don’t even recognize the person standing in front of the mirror. This powerful line raises awareness of just how frustrating it can be to live with depression. Basic needs take a backseat, whether it’s being unable to fall asleep, or being unable to get out of bed even to eat. No matter how painful it is to experience, it’s not something that you can simply "snap out" of.The Hardest Part Of Addiction Is That No One Sees It As A DiseaseFull Quote: "The hardest part of having the disease of addiction, aside from having the disease, is that no one in the world sees it as a disease." - Ali MuhammadIn his attempts to guide Rue towards sobriety, Ali dishes out some harsh truths about what life is like for those with addiction. He sheds light on one of the most painful realities of dealing with substance use disorder which is that most people don’t understand that addiction is a disease, which perpetuates stigma around drug use. Merely classifying people as "drug addicts" or referring to someone as a "drug addict," implies that the term is attached to the person. Further implying that they can't separate themselves from it, or overcome it.

Rue had suffered a near fatal overdose before and it was her little sister, Gia, who found her laying on her bedroom floor, covered in vomit.This profound moment serves as a reminder that even in her toughest battles, Rue has a choice in how she shows up in her life and for her loved ones, but she has to want to change. With watery eyes, Rue’s reply to Ali is, "As someone who tried really hard to be someone I couldn't,” which reflects the reality of her struggles.Without A Map Or A Compass, At Some Point, You Have To Make A ChoiceFull Quote: “I just showed up without a map or a compass, and at some point, you have to make a choice … about who you are and what you want.

As Cal told Nate, “The farther you go, the sharper their blade.” We all would do well to take those words and use them as fuel to move forward and overcome obstacles.KEEP READING:Bob Dylan’s Best Lyrics about Life, Love and Creativity
Beyoncé and Steven Spielberg Are 'Failures' - And That's Good News for You
What do Beyoncé and Steven Spielberg have in common? They’ve both failures. Or at least... they were at one point.No one likes to fail. Not even Beyoncé or Steven Spielberg, and it can be hard to imagine they ever did. Most of us have watched Beyoncé, who’s been in the spotlight for over two decades now, evolve into pop royalty. Steven Spielberg, meanwhile, has proven himself to be one of the most influential filmmakers of all time. But it wasn’t a smooth ride to the top for either of them.RELATED: At Almost 40, Beyoncé Finally Reveals Why She Had to Hide Her Real SelfBoth Beyoncé and Steven Spielberg overcame challenges early on in their careers that could have derailed them, but they chose to hold on tight and persevere.Failure hurts. It can feel devastating and humiliating; and yet, while many of us spend our lives trying hard to avoid it, it's an inevitable part of life. Luckily, we can actually learn from failing.By reframing how we view and understand failure, it can become a stepping stone to future success, and accepting failure is growth. Even the wildly successful celebrities we admire have failed along the way, which brings us again to Beyoncé and Spielberg.How Beyoncé Turned Failure Into Action(Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images)It’s hard to fathom, but prior to the reign of Queen Bey, Beyoncé faced a number of obstacles early on in her music career.Displaying talent for song and dance in childhood, her parents encouraged her to pursue her interests, and by the age of seven, Beyoncé won her first talent show, after she beat contestants twice her age with her performance of John Lennon’s “Imagine”.Then at nine years old, she and her friend Kelly Rowland were chosen to form an all-girls hip hop group called Girl’s Tyme. Like many showbiz hopefuls, Girl’s Tyme’s manager signed them up to compete on Star Search in 1993, but to everyone’s surprise, they lost... to a band called Skeleton Crew.RELATED: 5 Daily Habits to Steal from Beyonce, Including Her Powerful Trick for Loving Her Flaws“In my mind we would perform on Star Search, we would win, we would get a record deal, and that was my dream at the time. There’s no way in the world I would have ever imagined losing as a possibility,” remembered Beyoncé.Up until that point, she’d collected a lot of wins, so the loss came as a shock at first, but she redirected her initial disappointment into action. Determined to not let the group’s potential go to waste, Beyoncé’s father, Mathew Knowles, quit his job to manage Girl’s Tyme on a full time basis.After changing their name to Destiny, Beyoncé and the girls signed a deal with Elektra Records. But before they even got a chance to release an album, they were dropped by the record company less than a year later. It was yet another devastating blow, but the team was determined, until Elektra’s loss became Columbia Records’ gain in 1996, and Destiny became Destiny’s Child.After enjoying phenomenal success, Destiny’s Child eventually parted ways and Beyoncé launched her career as a solo artist. “My mother taught me the principles of hard work, setting my own goals and visualizing my future,” Beyonce told Essence. Throughout her career, Beyonce has modeled determination, drive and discipline and today, she is the most Grammy-awarded female artist of all time. Can you imagine if she’d given up on her dream following her 1993 Star Search loss? The world would be a lesser place because of it.Steven Spielberg: Film School Reject to Academy Award Winning DirectorSteven Spielberg spent his teenage years dabbling in filmmaking, but his dreams of making it big were nearly shattered after the University of Southern California (USC) rejected his application not once, but three times.He was turned down because his “C” average didn’t meet the film school’s academic threshold. His clap-back at the time was pretty spectacular: "'Well,'" he remembers saying at the time, "'I understand you allow people in football and basketball to play here and they have C averages,’” remembered Spielberg. “'If you can make a basket or throw a football, you can get in here, too.'”He wasn’t ready to give up quite yet, though. Set on studying film, Spielberg tried his luck again and applied to California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) film school. This time, he got in.RELATED: Steven Spielberg: Listen to Your IntuitionNot long after his acceptance into the program, he landed an internship at Universal Studios, where he completed his first short film, Amblin. After the film caught the attention of Sid Sheinberg, who was vice president of Universal at the time, Spielberg was offered a seven-year directing deal with the company. This made him the youngest film director to ever secure a long-term deal with a major studio.He eventually dropped out to pursue his directing career full time, but returned to CSULB decades later and completed his degree in 2002. What would life even be without films like Schindler’s List, Jaws, Indiana Jones and E.T.? The Lessons about Failure Beyoncé and Steven Spielberg Can Teach Us(Photo by Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images for Disney)It’s crazy to think that the world could have been deprived of these two incredible talents had they stopped trying when they experienced failures. Perhaps what’s most inspiring is not their myriad of accomplishments, but what they had to overcome before getting there.Beyoncé and Steven Spielberg’s rocky paths to success remind us that no one is immune to failure and that, in fact, failing is a key part of the process of reaching our goals.RELATED: Top 15 Inspiring Steven Spielberg QuotesNext time you’re faced with a setback, no matter how big or small, remember what matters most is how you react to the perceived failure. Of course, it’s important to let ourselves feel disappointed, or even scared, but the key to eventual success lies in our ability to keep moving forward.

Amber Heard's Histrionic Personality Disorder Diagnosis Is Vital to Understanding Celebrity Culture
Before the ongoing and highly publicized Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard defamation trial took a break last month, a mental health professional testified that Heard suffers from two distinct personality disorders.RELATED: Does Johnny Depp’s Rumored ‘Beetlejuice 2’ Role Set a Dangerous Precedent for Hollywood Redemption?After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Shannon Curry, a clinical and forensic psychologist hired by Depp’s legal team, diagnosed Amber Heard with both borderline personality disorder (BPD) and a lesser known but equally serious mental health condition called histrionic personality disorder (HPD).In order to better understand what this means, it’s important to get clear on what personality is.What Is the Definition of Personality - And What Is a Personality Disorder?“Personality is the way of thinking, feeling and behaving that makes a person different from other people. An individual’s personality is influenced by experiences, environment (surroundings, life situations) and inherited characteristics,” according to the American Psychiatric Association. In other words, personalities can be understood as the unique lenses through which we experience the world. Our individual personalities usually stay consistent throughout our lives but this isn’t the case for someone who suffers from a personality disorder.RELATED: Signs You’re Dealing With Narcissistic Abuse“A personality disorder is a way of thinking, feeling and behaving that deviates from the expectations of the culture, causes distress or problems functioning, and lasts over time.”Dr. Dawn Hughes, a psychologist hired by Amber Heard’s legal team, disagreed with Shannon Curry’s previous findings, arguing that Heard suffered from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) instead, as a result of the intimate partner violence she experienced during her relationship with Johnny Depp.What Is Disease Overlap and How Is It Affecting Amber Heard?In reality, it’s possible that Amber Heard may suffer from all three conditions mentioned above in this article at the same time, which in the medical field is called comorbidity.“Disease overlap is common,” according to Psychology Today. “Multiple disorders can exacerbate one another and make treatment a longer process or more difficult to achieve.”RELATED: Here’s An Understanding Of How And Why Narcissists Get To Where They Are In LifeFor example, borderline personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder fall under a category of mental conditions called Cluster B disorders. This means they are both categorized as involving unpredictable and dramatic behavior, and while they share similarities, there are also key differences that set them apart. It’s important to understand these differences in order to spot the signs of each disorder, to better understand their impact and make way for targeted treatment options. While BDP is more commonly diagnosed, histrionic personality disorder still impacts a considerable segment of the population. So, what is it exactly and what does it mean for Amber Heard?What Is Histrionic Personality Disorder?Histrionic personality disorder is a Cluster B disorder, which is an umbrella term used in psychiatry to describe a group of conditions that can cause a person to have difficulty controlling their emotions and exhibit erratic behavior.The American Psychiatric Association defines histrionic personality disorder as “a pattern of excessive emotion and attention seeking.”“People with histrionic personality disorder may be uncomfortable when they are not the center of attention, may use physical appearance to draw attention to themselves or have rapidly shifting or exaggerated emotions.”In her testimony, Curry explained that Amber Heard used impressionistic speech on several occasions during her 12-hour assessment, which is a style of speech that is described as vague and dramatic.“It tends to be very flowery, it uses a lot of descriptive words like magical, wonderful, and it can go on for quite some time and yet it really lacks any substance,” said Curry. “They might describe emotions, they might describe the events but very rarely, and Miss Heard did not, say 'I feel vulnerable.' She never really indicated a vulnerable feeling of her own.”People online have been quick to describe Amber Heard’s testimony as overly dramatic, almost as if she’s been acting, and have even accused her of lying. Holding into account Curry’s diagnosis, Amber Heard’s behaviors and mannerisms on the stand could very well be symptoms of histrionic personality disorder.RELATED: What Is Emotional Blackmail? How to Spot It and How to Handle It“For people with histrionic personality disorder, their self-esteem depends on the approval of others and doesn’t come from a true feeling of self-worth. They have an overwhelming desire to be noticed and often behave dramatically or inappropriately to get attention,” explains Cleveland Clinic.“People with histrionic personality disorder often don’t realize their behavior and way of thinking may be problematic," the Cleveland Clinic goes on to explain. And this is where the importance of diagnosis comes in: Receiving an accurate diagnosis can help the person who’s suffering recognize their symptoms, understand themselves better and most importantly get the support they need. Hopefully, this will be the outcome for Amber Heard.Not only is histrionic personality disorder a difficult (but crucial) disorder to identify, especially if there are coexisting conditions, it’s still widely misunderstood and the exact causes remain unknown.RELATED: A Goal Setting Guide For DepressionThat said, ongoing studies point to childhood trauma or abuse, genetics, and exposure to certain parenting styles early in life as factors. Unfortunately, the common thread is that events of the past and heredity are elements of life beyond any one person’s control.What is within Amber Heard’s control, and anyone else who’s been recently diagnosed with histrionic personality disorder, is the choice to seize the opportunity to practice self-compassion, get to know oneself better and get treatment before symptoms get worse.The Important Link between Celebrity Culture and Mental HealthTelevised trials and celebrity obsession are nothing new, but because of its high-profile nature, the Amber Heard v. Johnny Depp defamation trial has become one of the most famous celebrity court proceedings since the O.J Simpson trial.Both actors now have the details of their private lives on full display, including mental health conditions, for the public to consume. This spotlight on Amber Heard and Johnny Depp’s otherwise personal lives continues to fuel the media, and now social media’s obsession with celebrity culture.RELATED: The Hero And The Villain: Narcissists Deserve Empathy TooThat said, if anything, the public airing of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp’s dirty laundry serves as a reminder that celebrities are human just like us when it comes to dealing with relationship problems and struggling with mental health issues.It’s not clear whether Amber Heard ever received a diagnosis of histrionic personality disorder before the trial, but in the event that it was the first time she ever heard of it (like many of us) , Heard is now equipped with more information about herself and she has the choice of what to do with the information next, if the diagnosis turns out to be accurate.If you or someone you know shows signs of a personality disorder or has been recently diagnosed, let this also be a reminder that help exists and that change is possible.KEEP READING:Johnny Depp Vs.
