Right.

In the United States until the 20th century, Sunday was the only day of rest. So the idea of a weekend as being two days didn't really spread to most working people until the 20th century. And it was largely the result of union agitation and of the depression and crisis of underemployment. So before then, in the United States, the weekend was just Sunday.

So you could call it the weekend, but it wasn't as common an expression because you could simply refer to it Sunday, the Lord's Day, or the first day of the week.

So in the 19th century, middle class workers often had a half day on Saturday. Teachers often had a Saturday off. School children had Saturday off. So Saturday as an additional day off or partial day off was known to lots of people in the United States in the 19th century. Sometimes people also had Wednesday as a half day from school, for example.

So there was some sense of there being other times of the week that were not as... link to work. But it was not until the 20th century that it became the norm for people to have a Saturday as well as a Sunday. So I would say the 1930s would be crucial transition where Saturday became a day off for a majority of people in the United States.

The pandemic was interesting to me because all the comedy routines, all of the memes, all focused on Blur's Day, this notion that pandemic shutdown had unsettled our sense of our place in the weekly cycle. And my best explanation for it is that's just the cycle to which we're actually most attached. That's the one that requires our regular habits to perpetuate.

All other cycles could be linked to other things, especially day and night. You can just look outside if you want. But the week is a fragile thing.

If we don't have our regular seven-day habits, if we don't do the things that we're used to doing in the way that we're used to doing them, we get dislodged from our sense of time more generally, and the week is the best way of expressing that sense of disorientation. Because the weak is the thing that we're most, in some ways, attached to.
