I had fedi discussions about this with @ppdelft and @AstaMcCarthy among others, that 1 Februari was too early.

Most people need to announce and prep their friends and family.

I proposed #AprilFoolsDay "only the fools stay" and "fooled us once, made us wise" kinda slogans.

@martijn proposed international #LabourDay as a good date, and perfect to wrap a rallying cry to "make work" of the transition to each and every person. Spend that one hour, enjoy for always.

Happy Labour Day, NZ.

I've made the assumption that the holiday is just for people, and not computers, so my computer's running hot identifying animals in camera trap images, while identifying birds in audio recordings, while transcribing audio notes from my wild counts surveys.

I guess it's a good thing computers aren't intelligent and conscious or they'd have rights and need a holiday too. 😄

Labor Day is not just a time to honor the contributions of workers; it’s also an excellent opportunity for businesses to engage with customers through special promotions and marketing campaigns. By focusing on themes of hard work and offering savings, you can create compelling marketing strategies that resonate with your audience. #advertising #influencers #labourday #marketing #presence #SEO

Yesterday, workers across Canada celebrated #LabourDay.

But it’s hard to celebrate when you're worried about housing, food, your job, your child’s opportunities, climate change and the rise of fascism.

Talk about missing the point.. this year's Labour Day message from #Poilievre's Conservative party is basically “work harder, work more”.

"Work is a blessing. We should do everything possible to encourage more work." ---Roman Baber, York Centre

💥 Reminder, Conservatives plan to raise the retirement age in 🇨🇦 to 67 years.

Happy Labour Day! If you're interested in learning something about the holiday's history in Canada (and even a thing or two about the US), this is your go-to book:
