Just a month to celebrate relaxation and not obsessing over the grind. Festivals where people just bring camping chairs and chill together. Companies pandering by giving paid extra time off to employees. And so on.
psst, some cultures kinda do this.
Montreal is basically on vacation in August, for example
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.
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.
Every city should have a Sloth Parade. It’s only 1 block and takes 5 hours.
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.
