#theAbysmalCalendar
a 13-month calendar aligned with the seasons
Year 9 begins Dec 21 2021.
each month is 4 weeks.
that's 2 fortnights
that's 28 days.
each month begins on the same weekday.
it's an easier way to organize the days, weeks. & months.

“This is dreaming.” - Duke Ellington
To deepen into resting as a form of resistance and a guide towards liberation, your imagination must expand. This is about more than naps. Stay in the Dream Space. Keep unraveling. Keep resting.
today on #theAbysmalCalendar
Tuesday begins the last fortnight of the year
2 weeks until the solstice
it's amazing what a properly designed calendar can do for the health of your brain.
#RethinkingTime #CalendarReform
there's a New Moon tomorrow (Sat Dec 4)
and the Full Moon falls on Dec 18, a couple days before the Solstice.
It's a good time for things.

According to a new report by the Indigenous Environmental Network, Indigenous resistance to oil and gas projects in North America over the past decade has saved nearly 1.6 billion tonnes of annual greenhouse gas emissions. cbc.ca/news/science/what-on-…
I'm thinking more about the belief system of white north americans.
specifically, how the calendar honours all these roman deities, how our institutions use latin - a dead language that is no longer evolving.
but I think there's something suspicious about January.
if we consider the two solitudes (anglo- and franco-canadiens) - two faces that exclude everyone else.
it's betrayal after betrayal.
and we honour this every year with a huge global celebration like a bunch of rubes.
this is how to reframe "dress for success".
"Sure it looks great, but can you dance on the skulls of your enemies in those shoes?"
