I read Romans had this during the monarchy and the early days of the republic. The calendar was so fucked up that they had to add a few “festival weeks” to compensate and catch up with the solar period.

Civilized countries do exactly this. Workers in non-failed states take 1-3 months of paid time off a year.

It’s a uniquely American perspective to be squeezed year round just for the bourgeois to deal all the value you created.

Chainweasel ,

My work closes the last two weeks of the year for the holidays and we get paid during our time off (If You’re not in a union, get one) and a lot of us save up some vacation and take an extra week on top, so December counts as Sloth Month for me.

I wish we didn’t live in a culture that celebrates the exact opposite of sloth month, every month.

Diligence? Yeah, I’d say we are demanded diligence for the sake of other’s greed.

I thought you were suggesting a month to celebrate sloths.

Yeah well fuck that. When’s the flying squid month, I ask you? When do we get a break? Oh sure, it’s all “wow, look at the squid soaring over the waves” and then back to the shore for some calamari.

Shameful.

And you know FlyingSquid has emotional problems!

You mean–beyond pacifism?

He’s fragile, man! He’s very fragile!

Every city should have a Sloth Parade. It’s only 1 block and takes 5 hours.

AmidFuror ,

Sloth month would be cool, but I was thinking you meant a celebration of the tree-dwelling animal.

lettruthout ,

Yeah, but why not both?

Cagi ,

Lust month would be wild.

Rhynoplaz ,

That’s February. They had to shorten it because it was too much.

In Europe, that’s July and/or August, depending on the country

Lining up perfectly with June being pride month and July being wrath month!

foggy ,

psst, some cultures kinda do this.

Montreal is basically on vacation in August, for example

Yeah, even a week would be nice

AmidFuror ,

I'd settle for a day. How about a Monday in September?
