The medieval calendar had something like 80 to 100 feast days a year when work simply stopped. We engineered ourselves out of every one of them. I’m given to understand this is progress.

We only need 1 feast day... eat the billionaires day
@Daojoan yeah, let’s bring back the feast of st. John the Baptist and Lughnasadh.
I could use some summer holidays. (The dutch have none between may and december)
@Daojoan And yet I wouldn't trade places with one of them.
@Daojoan OK, here's the issue. We have fifty-two feast days a year where work simply stops right now. We call them "Saturday".
Like, for my family in Poland it was a *big fucking deal* when they finally got Saturdays off some time in the seventies.
@Daojoan but did they have weekends?
