More of a Menshevik Day By Day

- Each day of the ten-day week is named after a different invention.

- Wheelsday (wheel), Leverday (lever), Hoistday (pulley), Rampsday (incline plane), Wedgeday (wedge), and Screwsday (screw) are the working days, all named after a different “simple mechanism” as defined by the renaissance thinkers.

- Rest days are more loosely themed, but broadly speaking they’re named for inventions that significantly increased leisure. The 4-day weekend consists of Andorsday (Simultaneously commemorates logic gates, Boolean logic, formal logic in general, and computers), Pressday (printing press and related technologies, including the Internet and widespread literacy), Sparksday (anything involving electricity, fire, combustion engines, heavy industry, or energy production), and Sayday (language, but also a catch-all for the nonphysical inventions like “the self” or “universal human rights”).

- Rest days fall in the middle of the week and at the end, so it goes 3 days on/2 days off twice a week: Wheelsday-Leverday-Hoistday-Andorsday-Pressday-Rampsday-Wedgeday-Screwsday-Sparksday-Sayday.

- As the day with the most “spiritual” namesake, it seems only fitting that Sayday takes the sunday spot as the rest day that ends the week. You’ll note I did not capitalize “sunday”, because capitalizing days used by the outmoded reactionary gregorian calendar will be a crime under my regime. Other things to note: Leverday and Wedgeday both fall in the middle of their working week. Leverday is the “fulcrum” of the first week, and Wedgeday “cleaves” the second week in half. Similarly, Wheelsday “gets things rolling” and Rampsday is when the second week “ramps up”.

Additionally: The French revolutionary calendar tried to compete with the Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints by making every single day in their calendar correspond to a different part of the rural economy. So like they had a day for apple trees and a day for hand scythes and stuff. This is hilarious, but I'm gonna do them one better by giving each day of the year a specific invention which also relates to the day of the week it falls on.

So for example, every Leverday will be associated with a specific famous lever (crowbar, claw hammer, tweezers, etc). There are 30 Leverdays in a 365-day year, and all of them get their own specific lever. Similarly, any given Wedgeday might be named after, say, the hatchet or even the humble shovel. Sayday might commemorate the Magna Carta or Semaphore Flags or something. You get the picture.

Months in the FRC were given faux-Greek names meant to evoke the weather of the month. This is really good already, but I'm gonna outwoke their frog asses by naming all ten months with nonsense words designed to sound like different world languages. The Autumn months are based on the Indigenous languages of the Americas, Winter months are based on the native languages of Europe, Spring months are based on the languages of Asia, and Summer months are based on the languages of Africa. Enlightenment philosophers wish they were as humanist as me. They're all like 'fuuuuck, I was so eurocentric, now I see the error of my ways future man' and I'm just like 'instead of September we have Ch'il-N'ohii, which has no meaning in any language but is loosely based on the Diné word for grape because the Grape harvest is in the beginning of Autumn-- oh, sorry, you probably know them as the Navajo'

The 12 30-day months only account for 365 days, the remaining 5 days (6 on leap year) are dedicated to various holidays which are scattered throughout the year. Also, we celebrate leap day exactly like they celebrate leap day in that one episode of 30 Rock.

"they need to put the kaaba on the moon" is iambic pentameter and thus immediately stuck in my head as a forever earworm

ok ok

before the motorcars and aeroplanes, the faithful used to get to god on feet, from indonesias, eritreas, spains, to bow their heads at god's eternal seat,

but nowadays theyre carried by machines. not popping blisters leaking in the sand but wealthy tourists reading magazines conveyor-belted to the holy land

we have a plan to set the world aright to prove that "holy" cant be cleaved from pain, to reenact mohammed's nightly flight upon the back of ummah's brightest brains.

B: but how will that help anyone?

A: you really dont fucking get it, do you, you selfish asshole: real ppl are literally dying in excruciating agony!! do you need me to draw a picture for you? its as bad as it gets, smth you perhaps dont appreciate while insulated in yr comfortable little bubble. this isnt some sort of abstract debate club proposition except for you, for them its real life. now get with the palm slices, chop chop!
