Flipboard Culture DeskMaria Shriver is opening up about loss and grief in a big way. In her new book I Am Maria — a collection of poems and reflections by the author — Shriver, 69, revealed she was unable to get off the floor of her hotel room after learning of her husband Arnold Schwarzenegger’s infidelity. The news came soon after the deaths of both of her parents. <a href="https://flipboard.com/@usweekly" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@usweekly</a> reports: <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/maria-shriver-was-consumed-with-grief-after-husbands-affair/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/maria-shriver-was-consumed-with-grief-after-husbands-affair/</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ArnoldSchwarzenegger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ArnoldSchwarzenegger</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/MariaShriver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MariaShriver</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Celebrity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Celebrity</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Infidelity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Infidelity</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Book" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Book</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Biography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Biography</a>

Lydia Conwell :mastodon:I'm re-reading 1984 and it feels very relevant to now. Orwell's <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/book" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#book</a> isn't really <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#scifi</a>, it's really a book about oppression and propaganda.I'll do a blog on it I think. There are things to say about it.There are socialists who say Orwell wasn't really a socialist, and they are probably right, but what Orwell gets so very right is how censorship works. By removing references to better things, people have no means to criticise current things. You can't say the current government is bad if you have no proof things were ever better.As Orwell says: Who controls the past controls the future.<a href="https://todon.nl/tags/propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#propaganda</a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#censorship</a>

jbarrosI've recently found a lot of joy from <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/book" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#book</a> pairings I stumble on by accident. I first read "The Terraformers" by Annalee Newitz, which is a wonderful little bit of scifi about people employed in terraforming entire worlds, as paid for by megacorps, to turn them into tourist destinations etc. It gives the usual corps vs enviornmentalist rundown, but in a brilliantly presented way, and is very inspiring. Shortly thereafter, I read "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer, which is a very real story about her lived experience blending first nations wisdom with hard sciences of the west, and working to help her botany students, and the whole world realize that nature is not "out there" but that we are an integral part of nature, and that love of our environment, and realization that our environment loves us can prompt a radical shift in how we view the world and what we do with our time here. This combination was fantastic, and I recommend them in the above order to anyone who is a fan of the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#environment</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#solarpunk</a> or just wants to find ways to make the world a better place.

Kels ☀️5⭐️ Truly one of the most genius books I have ever read. Everett's command of language is exceptional: both poetic and resolute. Some of the content was difficult to digest, such as the injustice, violence, and emotional weight, but there is little comfort in historical accuracy.
