I was going to start up a campaign for sloth week, but I couldn’t be bothered.
We should do a workshop for that, it sounds like my kind of week.
How does mid 2031 sound? You’re probably busy then. Yeah, I’m just going to assume you’re busy that mid-year and hope someone else reschedules and runs the workshop with a bunch of other people that aren’t me and that they figure out a great week so that I can one day read about sloth week having just passed and briefly consider trying to catch it next year because it sounds like my kind of week (assuming I can just passively experience it).
Lust: Valentines Day
Gluttony: Thanks Giving
Greed: Halloween
Sloth: 3rd Saturday of October
Wrath: July 4th, and/or tax day
Envy: Christmas
Pride: The entire month of June! 🏳️🌈
What makes Halloween about greed?
Black Friday is a better fit.

Going around trying to gather as much candy as possible.
I mean getting as much as possible… I guess? I don’t think that felt like the focus in my family
December is queer envy month because it makes us envious when people brag about returning to their loving parents
I knew I shouldn’t’ve woken up today.
July 4th is patriotism. I’d classify that as pretty sinful pride.
Damn, user out here solved it for us.
If by us, you mean American christians, then sure.
Wait… The very notion of the seven deadly sins is a Christian construct… It only really applies to us anyway…
Ah. My bad. Carry on.
I thought sloth was every Sunday
What’s sloth anyway? Didn’t the Christian God himself waste away on Sunday?
Us Americans partake in gluttony for every holiday
We live in a greed system though. So that one is basically all year round.
Lol yeah we would need to divide it so that each month can be dedicated to a subcategory of greed.
You’ve got No Healthcare month, No Free School Meals month, Income Inequality month, etc, and maybe we start each year by dedicating January to Nixon, Reagan, and the year 1971.
If you think the hard-right are bastards about Gay Pride Month, wait until you see Gay Lust Month.

Why reactionaries hate pride (the month, and the sin)
There were so many new ideas and perspectives in that article for me. It was a very interesting read, thanks for sharing.
Ahhh you thought this was something else lmao.
But fr where is my Month of Wrath.
The first pride was pretty wrathful.
Tax season
Every month is month of wrath.
Except June.
Pretty sure November is gluttony
How can a month be gluttony in which we aren’t allowed to nut?
Bitch I nut all November.
Because pride is the loudest by nature. All the others are more circumspect and demure Pride is loud and proud and in yo face
TIL that wrath is circumspect and demure.
I find it weird that some people call LGBTQI+ life a “sin”. On the other hand, some christian denominations accept and have gay priests. The people calling LGBTQI+ life a “sin” seem to me more like extremists in a “christian” trenchcoat.
The joke is that pride is one of the seven deadly sins, not really pride in the sense of LGBTQI+. It’s more a pun, maybe a tone deaf one, but this is a shitpost community
What about Good Friday? 🔨😵
Edit: My bad, I just assumed murder was one.
Nah, people can murder a little sometimes, as a treat.
“Thou shalt not kill” was really just a pro forma commandment to pad out the numbers.
The one that really matters is “thou shalt commit adultery”
This is related, but I just realized that I’ve been conditioned to expect a Rick Roll every time I click a link in a comment, even though it hardly ever happens. My brain just always says “Here comes Rick Astel or whatever his name is”.
Me too! I kinda like it tbh 😄
To be fair - a whole month of anything is excessive
There’s a whole month of June. Is that excessive? :P
Touché lol
