I consider Substack subscriptions to be like farmer CSAs. They require providing seed and fertilizer money up front, trusting the farmer, and hoping that nothing disastrous happens during the growing season, LOL. So go fallow in one field while you cultivate something new and exciting in another. I'm good. I can wait.
Another one staying here✋🏻. Keep up the great work you do, it’s very meaningful to me. I look forward to knowing more about the book you’re working on.
By far the best learning aid for Revelation is the Old Testament—Genesis, especially, then the Prophets, then the rest. A really good cross-reference Bible is indispensable.
I am happy to subsidise some intellectual space for you, confident that the new book and your eventual return to regular long form posts will provide more of the incisive and enlightening perspectives that you have consistently provided to date.
So happy that you are choosing the sane route! You raise one of the challenges that many Substack writers face: it takes an immense amount of time to think and produce original writing (and it’s difficult to resist the pressure to churn out frequent posts). I trust that your readers will recognize that by supporting you, especially in “stealth mode”, they affirm that slow-thought writing is valuable.
Mary, like many of your supporters, I support you because of your unique voice in the world. If you write weekly, monthly, or yearly, your intellectual incite is a treasured addition to our understanding of the world around us. It’s a gift to us. Keep at it!

I for one am going nowhere! Hope you get the time you need to complete the book.
Mary, your writing is nutrient. I couldn't possibly leave. Organise and take time however you need. Hugely looking forward to the book.
Writers write. Book writers write book length ideas. Go for it. I’ll be hanging around, awaiting future revelations. :-)

Big fan of Baudrillard’s America!!!

Very happy to be a crowdfunder of your book in progress.
Bring out the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!

Mary you are the finest public intellectual I read. I’m here for the long haul.
In for a penny, in for a pound…
Best of luck with the rabbit hole - I trust it will not be too hairy…

Carry on. I'm reading for the long run!
