Platformer publishes Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and we strive to get every edition out by 5PM Pacific time. We also sometimes send newsletters on particularly newsy Wednesdays and Fridays.

We take two weeks off at the end of the year and two weeks off in the summer. We may also take a small number of personal or sick days. In addition, Platformer observes most federal holidays.

Here are the days we know we'll be off through the end of next year. (This schedule is subject to change, and we'll always try to give you as much advance notice about that as possible.)
