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

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

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.

Lust month would be wild.

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.

Yeah, even a week would be nice

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

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 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.
