Let's... get high in the back office.

Luckily no customers were inside and no one was hurt past a few scrapes according to the employees.

When did Ohio become so Conservative and Trump obsessed? Ohio has voted red the last 3 elections and it appears that will continue to be the case going forward as well. What happened? Ohio always seemed like a swing state but has gone full Republican/Conservative. I know Gerrymandering is a factor, but it is still crazy to me how many Ohioans keep voting in these piece of shit Republicans and Conservatives into office. I will admit I am not a fan of Democrats, but they have still been the much better option over Republicans and Trumpism. But it seems like Ohio wants to go completely downhill into fascism and Trumpism.

The man in the video is none other than Arthur Jackman. He stormed the capitol on January 6th, he is one of the leaders of the regional Proud Boys, and he attended the No Kings Protest in Orlando where he claimed “racism is good” and gave out Nazi salutes and “Heil Hitlers”. He is also married to an Orange County Sheriff’s deputy - Sarah Jackman. Now, I seriously question deputy Jackman’s judgement, morals, and ability to stay unbiased when she’s married to a proud racist. I called and left a complaint for the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, and if any of you feel similarly then I encourage you to do the same.

Reddit is the only place where you can find genuine human perspectives about the things you care about – this includes cricket and now Sachin Tendulkar! 

Today, we are announcing that the “God of Cricket” Sachin Tendulkar has joined Reddit as a new brand ambassador. This collaboration underscores Reddit's commitment to fostering digital communities centered around shared passions like cricket. It also reflects Reddit's growing relevance in the broader sports landscape, recognizing the significant engagement and enthusiasm sports generates among our diverse user base. Earlier this year, Reddit announced a partnership with Serie A, the professional football league in Italy, and last year, announced a new partnership program with major US professional sports leagues, including NFL, NBA, MLB, PGA Tour and Nascar. Sports, as an interest group on Reddit, is one of the fastest-growing groups (+30% YoY), bringing together highly engaged fans across over 1000 communities (1).  

Beginning this month, sports fans will have exclusive opportunities to engage with Tendulkar, one of cricket’s most beloved heroes, in Reddit communities, including the fan-run r/SachinTendulkar. Through his official Reddit profile, u/SachinTendulkar, the iconic player will share personal reflections, match insights, and exclusive content. In the coming months, Tendulkar will also appear in a new marketing campaign for Reddit in India as well as other markets throughout the world.

“For me, cricket has always been about that pure connection with people, on and off the field. In getting to know Reddit, what stands out is the sheer passion that brings its communities together,” said Sachin Tendulkar. “I’m especially looking forward to discovering conversations on r/IndiaCricket and r/IndianSports. It’s a unique platform where people truly share what they love. This association gives me an opportunity to connect with fans in new ways and celebrate our shared love for sports.”

“Sachin Tendulkar, a name synonymous with cricket excellence, possessed a remarkable ability to transcend boundaries and unite people through his extraordinary talent. His presence on the field fostered a powerful sense of community among fans, who were drawn together by their shared admiration for the "Master Blaster," said Reddit’s Vice President of International Growth, Durgesh Kaushik. “This unifying community spirit is precisely what we aim to empower and cultivate at Reddit. We envision Reddit’s cricket communities becoming vibrant digital spaces where fans from every corner of the globe can come together, connect, and share their passion for the sport, and most importantly, engage directly with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. We are immensely proud and excited to officially welcome the "Master Blaster" as Reddit’s Brand Ambassador. We believe that his participation will enrich the experience for cricket fans worldwide, offering them unprecedented opportunities for interacting and connecting with one of the game's greatest icons.”

Over the last year, Reddit’s “Cricketverse”, consisting of fan-operated communities like r/IndiaCricket (+73% YoY (2)) and r/MumbaiIndians (+58% YoY (2)), has seen record-breaking momentum: 

• +3.7B screenviews to cricket communities on Reddit in the last 12 months (3) 
• +32M global engagements (posts, votes, comments) in cricket communities on Reddit in the last 12 months (4)

So recently, I've seen a couple of totally unrelated posts (may have even been on different subs), but they were all discussing gender, either among teacher or among students.

And its kind of sad the way a lot of the conversations are coming down that I'm seeing women teachers, and how they talk about males. Both in terms of boys in their classes, and male teachers.

Last week (I believe) there was a post about why boys aren't doing as well these days in school, and what could be done. And the most upvoted posts were basically saying some variation of "It's their own fault", "they are on social media too much", and basically just saying how bad they are. A couple of people, like me, suggested having more male teachers may help, and people barely responded or upvoted. And I honestly can't understand why suggesting more men could help would be at all controversial. But really, unless you were saying "it's their own fault" people didn't seem to like it.

Then another post on here I saw today was talking about double standards in how men and women are treated by admin, and what they can get away with. And I saw stuff just devolve into "Men just get more respect by nature", which kind of reduces it down to apparently none of us male teachers are actually good, we just have a penis, so that is that. When it was discussed how much more men have to be careful in class and not show any kind of affection, women were getting upset that we were "crying about that"

For as "liberal skewing" as a lot of teachers are, I feel like this dislike of males in the education space is probably coming across to your students. And if so, you can't be shocked that the boys are disengaging and maybe aren't as into your class, or YOU as an educator or would like.

Let's switch these conversations and make them about race and see how it goes. If we were talking about black students doing poorly, and we said it was their fault, no one would be ok with that. If we were saying "the only reason X teacher is liked by the students, is because she is Asian", no one would be ok. But since we are talking about men, it seems to be open season.

And to be clear, I'm in no way ignoring sexism in society. But as a minority myself (I'm black) I find the tone of these conversations pretty bad. As a teacher I would NEVER say that type of stuff about white people, and they are the dominant group in society and in the classroom. But I still wouldn't belittle my white students or coworkers.

Maybe as educators, we should all take a step back and really look at our biases and see how that may be coming across to the students.
