Yay!! A win for self care! A win for mental health! A win against the tyranny of our instant gratification culture! Yay yay yay!

I, for one, do not need/expect/want a pause on paid subscription. I work in an industry with unpaid leave: no sick time, no vacation, nada. I don’t work that hour, I don’t get paid. It’s sick and stupid and I hate it for anyone who has that working life. Not that it matters, but “take my money!” Capitalism sucks anyway 😂

Im glad you're taking some time off and sharing that you're setting healthy boundaries between your work and life. it's an important message to put out in to the world. Many of us struggle with that so having another voice advocating setting boundaries is important. The reality is like an athlete, the rest and recovery phase is a critically important part of all of our work lives and without it we are not able to do our best work. Enjoy your break and l will be excited to read your next post when you're back!

You don’t need to pause my subscription during your vacation!

I feel this way too, I value access to the chats and threads and recipe archives and will still have access to them so I should continue to pay. So no need to pause for me.
