The Friday Vampires aim to be the antonym to the 'Numbening' , The Numbening (sometimes nummer ning) is the phenomena of nothing feeling caused by the working weeks refusal to shrink the way it was supposed to. The endless doom scroll and the general enshitification of modern life. As one anonymous faceless Friday put it:
"Tech Bro's will destroy us all . we will end up loading the trucks and changing the nuts and bolts for the machines that do all our thinking... aarrrfghh I don't like the working week never be in too much of a hurry to grow up nnnngh .. Black Sabbath"
The Friday Vampires goal is to create Sensitive, Responsive, Fragile, Feeling. feeling
(fragile not in a delicate sense, more in an empathetic sense)
Through Embracing Ritual and Cultural Celebration.
A process tentatively known as:
Resensive Frangible Collectivism
or 'Duoriginal Feeling' for short
