Not sure today on first day of May reminds me of Homestar Runner's TODAYBOR DAY IS LABOR DAY skit but it's because most countries celebrates the first day of May as Labor Day, except America.

It's the first of May, friends! So have a scone and a large house blend, maybe watch an episode of The People's Court, then see where the day takes you 😉

Blessed Beltane!
May we gather our strength to protect the Earth and all the gentle creatures who dwell here.

I thought I was the only one who sang this every year, then I saw this meme 🥰

#jonathancoulton #firstofmay

Meme format with an image of someone rejecting something, then an image of them approving, but the face has been photoshopped to be Jonathan Coulton.

The rejected statement is “Making the same Justin Timberlake joke at the end of April every year.”

The approved statement: Fucking outside

Every year the question is not whether I will post this song on this day, but which VERSION I will post. This is the one with which I'm going for 2025. #FirstofMay youtu.be/5EiBzMB39qc

It's the First of May, and you know what that means.
This hilarious rendition is Safe For Work and if you know the original, you'll be surprised how Jonathan Coulton makes that possible www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs0v... #firstofmay #may1st #JonathanCoulton

Stuff I found

@stuffifound.politicalmemes.org

Use this Labour Day as an opportunity to become a member of a union, if you aren't already. Unionise! #labourday #mayday #unionise #unionize #anticapitalism #eattherich #feedthepoor #firstofmay #diadeltrabajo #dagvandearbeid #workersrights #internationallabourday

Top: Person in bed on the phone, saying "Hi, can I have a wake-up call please?"
Bottom: Receptionist on the other end of the line, answering "On average, unionised workers make 10-20% more than ununionised workers."

Good luck at your local #labourday #protest, and make sure your voice can be heard loudly!

Candace: "Why is it called labour day if everyone gets a holiday and no one actually labours?"

El dia 1 de maig es va declarar festa perquè sinó la gent faria vaga? I així desmobilitzar a canvi d'un miserable dia de festa?
