    I've been so busy getting my classroom ready that I haven't even opened Lemmy the last two weeks. The students' first day was last Thursday, which is a week earlier than it's ever been.

    Country: USA Years Teaching: 5 (full-time tutor and sub for a couple years before) Grades: 5th Subject: Science and health currently, but I previously taught English language arts. I loved teaching reading but not so much writing. I don't want to go back from science.

    What are your thoughts about "Main Event" Jey Uso? I'm sold on the guy and wouldn't be mad if he were the one to dethrone Roman... but I don't think it's super likely.

    "The Rick" has been battling cancer for a while now and apparently passed away a few days ago. I remember reading the original version of Online Onslaught on WrestleLine when I was in high school to keep up with the dirt sheets. [Here's one of those old columns, courtesy archive.org.](http://wrestleline.com/columns/onslaught/feb00/onslaught22100b.htm)

    I am not sure of the specifics, but that seems to be the case. If you have a bachelor's degree in some other field, you can go through an alternate route program to get your teaching license. It also probably varies by state.

    This will be my fifth year of teaching. My first year was the year that COVID hit, so no, it hasn't quite been what I thought it would be, to say the least. I do enjoy it most of the time, but I also was not on anti-anxiety meds until I started teaching. I am thankful for the schedule it allows me to have, and I do enjoy actually teaching when I am able to do so. Paperwork, meetings, and discipline problems (with a lack of support from admin) I enjoy far less.

    I got a chance to work with a person going down a similar alternate route last year. She had a degree in journalism and found that she hated it, so she was transitioning to education. I really liked how it was a slower pace than the student teaching boot camp I had to endure.

    Thanks for the reply! I and my wife are two of those thousands who were helped by that subreddit over the years. I would love to help build a similar space here for those of us who have left Reddit completely behind. My intention was not to stage a coup or hostile takeover -- I just wanted to see it turn into an active and positive community.

    He passed away in his sleep at only 55 years old. He was also known as Tank as part of the Truth Commission and Bruiser Mastino in ECW. Watching back some of his matches, it is clear he was pretty good and deserved better than the stupid Mantaur gimmick.

    New ownership

    Hi guys, because the person that created this community was banned from lemmy.world, [@antik@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/u/antik) told me to tag him here so he could turn it over to me. I would like to see it grow into a community where teachers, para-professionals, and supporters can find encouragement and inspiration and perhaps commiserate with each other a little. What would you like to see out of a community like this?

    Except posting here is what admin has asked us to do in previous situations. PMing was literally discouraged. I did end up sending an email.

    Edit: Sorry, I realize he directed people in that specific situation to !moderators@lemmy.world, but there have been multiple times in extremely similar situations over the past week when users have been told to post here. Both are modded by the lemmy.world admins, and I would think either is appropriate.

    I don't have a big reason. I signed up for a secondary account on a tiny instance when lemmy.world was having trouble. I like the more close-knit feel, but I was also already kind of established here. So I just have both now.

    You're good. I think a few are misunderstanding my intentions. I do have an alt on a much smaller instance, and I know how all of that works. But lemmy.world is my primary instance, and in the interest of this specific server, squatters and inactive communities aren't a good thing. Admins here have already asked that they be reported so they can be removed.

    I understand how the fediverse works. This is a support community for the specific instance Lemmy.world, not the entire fediverse.

    Yes, you are technically correct that a community with the same name could be made on another instance. But this is the Lemmy.world Support community. As the largest Lemmy instance at the moment, why would they want their server full of inactive communities modded by squatters? It's also my primary instance, so why would I want to create another account elsewhere just to make that community?

    That's why I posted here. I didn't want to overstep by sending PMs.

  • There are a few regional ones that I'm sure some would love to see thriving, but I'd personally like to see an active SexOver30 community for those of us who are not spring chickens anymore. I know others have been removed for similar behavior.

  • ogsaint ogsaint 1y ago 100%

    User buelldozer has done the same thing with several communities, apparently reserving them for the mods of the corresponding subreddits.

    I'd like to see c/sexover30 active and would take it over to see that happen.

    Dave said the abrupt turn by Shayna Baszler at MITB was always the plan and was something Ronda specifically wanted, but it was delayed because of Ronda's injury. Now the story has to be rushed because Ronda also gave them a "hard out" for when she will be done.

    This is a couple years old but felt appropriate to post this weekend. Rest in peace, Droz. I wonder where his career (and D'Lo's) would have gone had the accident not happened.

    Tony Khan: I haven't locked AEW into any kind of roster split
  • ogsaint ogsaint 1y ago 100%

    I suspect it's very real, but hopefully keeping the ones who have issues on separate shows and having everyone else rotate around them will work. But I would think if it's not directly addressed and hashed out, it's just going to fester. How will they coexist at PPVs and other big events?
