"Th' renderer was built for a fleet of 200 Inquiry-class ships in season one, she cannae take the strain!"

Obviously Star Trek isn't real. That kind of future can feel impossible at times. But I believe little by little humanity improves and I know my fellow Starfleet members, citizens and fans share the sentiment. In honor of Federation Day I think every one of us should make an effort to do one good deed.

Buy an apple or some lunch for somebody in need. Donate 5 bucks to charity. Check in on people. Buy somebody some warm gloves that might need them soon. Donate to your local foodbank. Give somebody a flower for no reason

With the thousands we have in Starfleet, let alone the millions of Star Trek fans in the world. Every small thing makes a difference. What kind of amazing impact would thousands all at once create? We can't fix the entire world but we sure can try. We have to be the change we seek and that to me is everything Star Trek's vision and Starfleets purpose is.

The first of Jan 1901 was when the British colonies united to become one Commonwealth of Australia. It marks a kind of ‘coming together’ rather than the start of an ‘invasion’ like ‘Australia Day’ does). Federation Day marks the start of responsibility by Australia for Australia, rather than it being merely a collection of colonies run by Brits via a kind of cruel remote control. 

I do not like celebrating ‘Australia Day’ on 26th of Jan because it is about invasion of Aboriginal land by the British. But by 1901 the bulk of the damage of invasion was done (although it still continues today in many ways of course). Federation Day (to me anyway) is about ‘us getting on with being Australia’ which is much more positive and potentially inclusive than some kind of illusory ‘discovery’ of so called ‘empty land’. In reality, in 1788 Australia was home to ~300 Aboriginal nations and in this sense was pretty much ‘full’, sustaining itself that way for ~80,000 years.
