You are an inspiration, thank you for keeping some of your content free! Your story about what you will do with the paid subscribers doesn’t convince me that you are worth the cost of a cup of coffee because I’ve already known that for so long. You are worth the whole carafe!
Margaret Atwood, I have been blessed to read many of your books,thanks to my mother. Being as I read The Handmaids Tale way back before technology decided things, I am so personally interested in what your perspective is on today’s social climate. I know that there is a most profound experience with your writing, you have been a major influence in many peoples lives. I do wonder if you knew then, that your writings would come out as a semi prophetic glimpse in to the future? I have long wanted to ask this. Im sure it’s a common question. I would love it if you answered it for me. If you do not, well the birds are extremely important and I know time flies! I am grateful to have experienced your writing.
You can catch warts? The school bully that chased every one around with his warty fingers (a small village school), relishing the transference of his affliction was well-informed?
“It was put to me that I should enable paid subscriptions.” Nice passive voice there. Was it in fact the Substack team who created this sense of obligation? I continue to marvel that writers can be made to believe that they have some kind of ethical obligation to support the platform financially. Isn’t credibility and visibility the consolation prize for everyone else? If so, why isn’t the same good enough for the platform itself?
If you want to follow that logic, understand that Substack’s cut of your earnings will end up in the same pot as Andrew Tate’s. So why do you need paid subscriptions again?
imagine finding your wart selling on ebay ;-;
thank you fair (not handmaiden) for the free reading 🤍

Thank you, Leslie Homan
P.s. I am on Substack also
Yes. I’ve been wondering where you were.
I just read the highlights. My brain is already too full to delve. Plus I am on a fixed income and need my cash to buy chocolate.
Lol!!! M. Atwood... thank you for your gifted writing.

I shudder in retrospect.
