Hell yes. You’ve earned it.

As your attorney I recommend a tincture of opium and cocaine hydrochloride, Funyuns, single malt, and the latest record from the Rose City Band.

Does no-one take laudanum any-more? Harrumph!

Funyuns seem to have kind of the same effect.

Man, we ALL need that from time to time. And it's your choice, but I don't need anything paused. Hope this break brings you renewed energy and inspiration!

I’d ask you to send a postcard but USPS is fucked.

Well deserved no doubt, but I'll miss my morning dose... I can feel the shakes coming on already. LOL, have fun!

You're much too scrupulous about this stuff. Take two weeks. Invent a few holidays. Go on a sabbatical. We'll still be here, eyes sunken into our heads, gnawing our fingers and mumbling incoherently, awaiting your return. Have fun, or at least a good night's sleep!

Excellent idea. I often think, WHY do I pay attention to all this horrible idiotic garbage? In spite of everything, there IS still art and beauty in the world. Considering that I can't do anything to fix our horribly defective politics, why am I making myself miserable by immersing myself in them all the time as opposed to that other, better stuff? It's a question for the ages.

Enjoy your break. You so deserve it. We’ll just tell everyone not to do anything scandalous till you get back.

Speak for yourself. I plan on a deep dive into Ben Shapiro's body of work so I can be constantly reminded someone is more miserable than I am.

Paused subscriptions? Paid leave should be a basic human right. Be the change you want to see in the world!

Seriously, don't pause our subscriptions over a measly five days.

Appreciate it, and if you were The Man I'd agree. Think of this as mutual aid!

Enjoy! I don’t know how you keep up the pace you do. I agree with those who have said no need to pause our subscriptions, you deserve paid vacation (we all do). And don’t worry, I’m sure nothing crazy will happen in the world while you’re gone. HA!
