I write this over an hour before I have to leave for work, realizing that I don’t have nearly enough time for the quality of the post I want to put together. That being said, I will have my Friday post up sometime this evening.
As you might have noticed, things have been a little shaky here at Culture War Reporters lately. Heck, most mornings I’ve felt a lot like this lady over on the right. That’s why I’ve decided to do something drastic.
Well, “drastic” may be too strong a word. After my post this evening we will be taking an entire week off, with possible updates if something particularly newsworthy happens. We will be back in June after I’ve spent some time updating Shame and Fame Day posts with their respective graphics, getting caught up on proofreading, etc.
TL;DR – After a post tonight we will next be updating in June. See you then and, as always, thanks for reading.
