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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
