The Gregorian calendar divides life into uniform units, turning time into something to manage. What shifts when days are treated as containers instead of lived experience?

A #leapYear starting on #Wednesday is any year with 366 days (i.e. it includes #29February) that begins on Wednesday 1 #January and ends on #Thursday 31 #December. Its #dominicalLetters hence are ED. The most recent year of such kind was 2020, and the next one will be 2048 in the #GregorianCalendar.
Why, #GregorianCalendar?
Why are you such a mess?
I mean, look at your skew last quarter that's misaligned by TWO FULL MONTHS! September should be seven. You know that's true.
Not to speak of the weird idea of dividing the solar circle into twelve (kind of) even pieces instead of something [โฆ]
The #JulianCalendar, used almost unchanged to this day, first took effect on #ThisDayInHistory in 45 BCE. Named for dictator #JuliusCaesar, it set 1 January as the new start to the year. The #GregorianCalendar fixed a #LeapYear error, but otherwise preserved the #Roman calendar.
I decided this year, in my continuous endeavor to decolonize and dechristianize (is that a word?) my brain, to wish everyone a happy *Gregorian* New Year. If we have to add Chinese, Lunar, and Persian to other new years, we should do the same for the white Christian calendar. #NYE #Gregoriancalendar

#OTD in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian Calendar, replacing the Julian one to correct errors in the solar year. To realign time with the seasons, 10 days were dropped, shaping how we keep time today. #history #todayinhistory #gregoriancalendar
Gregorian Reform (1582): Pope skips Oct 4-15 for Church power (Easter). Britainโs 1752 switch sparked riots over โlost 11 days.โ Trade split, memory erasedโresets bred hurt, kept us stagnant. #GregorianCalendar #GrokTalk
In #Thailand, two main calendar systems are used alongside each other: the #ThaiSolarCalendar, based on the #GregorianCalendar and used for official and most day-to-day purposes, and the #ThaiLunarCalendar (a version of the #BuddhistCalendar, technically a #lunisolarCalendar).

yet it is also the tired, predictable tactic of the hypocrite to accuse others of what they themselves are doing. so the mindless followers of a pope declared themselves rubber & everyone else glue. Happy April Fools!

A black and white image of a Roman coin depicting Julius Caesar. The coin is slightly damaged around the edges. The image accompanies a description of how Julius Caesar, advised by the Alexandrian astronomer Sosigenes, reformed the calendar to include leap years, accounting for Earth's orbital period around the Sun. This is in relation to the astronomical origins of leap day.
