quick, somebody make up some awards.

OH MY GOD you just totally blew my mind. Oh how I wish that movie existed.

I'm "working"... (minimizing Reddit when my supervisor walks by)

I just donated 5 dollars to your kickstarter!

You're awesome, by the way.

Do you have any suggestions for those of us who volunteered and poured ourselves into the Bernie campaign and who are now, frankly, depressed as shit about his loss? Should we reject electoral politics? Should we try to form a third party? Should we sit in a corner and cry? Would love to hear your personal take, thank you. I <3 Current Affairs!

Hello!

I've been a HUGE fan(ado!) of yours since I read the Handmaid's Tale years ago. Since then, I've shared my copy with as many people as I could. I have a couple of questions:

1. How do you feel about the fact that The Handmaid's Tale is still relevant today? It was published over 25 years ago, but it feels just as fresh of a statement on womens' rights today (especially in the US, where I'm from).

2. How much of your material do you base on real life? I'm thinking specifically of a short story you wrote, "Under Glass," which I related to more than most things I've read.

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer these questions. You're so awesome!
