/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Not in the UK!
In the UK it's "nearest Monday to 1 May", following if 1 May was a Tuesday, on 1 May if that's a Monday
And labelled "Early May Bank Holiday"
Also not in the US. We have Labor Day in September and most laborers don't get it off.
Fat L for the Anglosphere
We always get the first Monday in May off in the UK. Four day weekend for me...
May Day isn't a global observance though. The first Monday of May is a hangover from religious observance; having spent a large part of my working life in retail environments bank holidays were always a bit of a mixed blessing - I feel like if it was May Day as a workers' holiday then the workers should get a day off!
Workers do get the day off in most of Western Europe.
I'm talking about the UK - retail workers don't count when it comes to back holidays here, on the whole.
Of course there's always people working on bank holidays here as well. They just get payed double and there's a lot less of them needed.
It's a public holiday in Australia, but on the 4th (we make sure it makes a long weekend).
