Today is May Day, for those in the US.

... It is May Day in many countries outside of the US you know

Edit:

expecting crickets or apologies

And what are _you_doing today? Me? I'm reading about workers right movements history in my country (France). Not a bad pick if I dare say so myself. I'm also editing my comment to your post wondering if it's worth it... but that's just me being pessimistic.

I think they were implying that only Americans needed the reminder because anyone else was already aware.

Your edit makes it sound like you think OP is accusing us of not doing anything.

[–] Libb@piefed.social 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm only reacting (which is what commenting is about) to

expecting crickets or apologies

I will let anyone decide for themselves how to read that, including the OP.

Fair enough, that does sound pretty douchey. 👍

Right now it's the middle of the night in the US, so I reckon most folks is sleepin.

[–] marighost@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago

I just work here, dude.

I work for a non-profit that is dedicated to caring for our community and treats it's employees well, so it would seem terribly wrong to me to do anything nasty to them.

However, I did take the day off.
