Who killed the weekend?

 

As with many contemporary societal evils, Quincy Quarry blames social media.

 

“A crazy idea: Why not take off a couple of days every week and relax?  Don’t cram them with frantic shopping, desperate playdates or crafty work emails – and certainly don’t make them exactly the same as the other five …  (My childhood, ed.) weekends were open, rambling, and alight with possibility.”

 

“I was a weird kid, and so my childhood weekends were often a bit weird, because our weekends reveal us as we really are.  I liked to read in strange places: the stairs of the local church, or by the bins in the lane.”
