          I’ve had a think and have decided not to pause paid subscriptions across the couple of weeks I’m out of your inbox. I see Substack as more of a community supporting a writer’s work on the whole, rather than a straightforward transaction per article; it’s how I pay for other Substacks and it’s the type of relationship I enjoy on this platform. I also want to allow new people to join, read the back catalogue, and interact in the comments while I’m away.”

         “I took three months off [for paternity leave], and it was amazing,” says Lenny. “To make that happen, I used a combination of queued-up posts that went out each week without me, plus telling people I’m just going to take some pat leave because it’s important to me. It worked out super-well. The newsletter didn’t fall apart, and I came back stronger than before.”

          “I’m planning to pause production of Maybe Baby for three-ish months. This brings me to the end of Feb.—essentially a winter hiatus. Since this is my full-time job, I carefully considered how to approach this leave, and with the generous vocal support of many subscribers, I’ve decided to leave subscription payments on during my time away. In doing that, I know I’m asking my paying subscribers to consider paid maternity leave a part of the overall project of Maybe Baby, the same way they already support many aspects of the work beyond paywalled content (like all my free essays, my editor, my healthcare, etc.). If you’re aligned with that philosophically, I appreciate your support so, so much, and I hope you’ll feel it’s worth it long-term! If you aren’t or can’t afford to continue paying during this time, I completely understand, and you can manage your subscription type here (i.e. pause paying until I’m back). I know the monthly payments mean something different to everyone, so please do what feels best.”
