Ross @trusty.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Just got Youtubetv free trial so that I can watch this. Need to remember to cancel it afterwords. But this movie is rare and supposedly very, very good so I have to see it 010

Ross @trusty.bsky.social · 07/10/2026My renter's insurance will renew next week. But my property management company uses a third-party renters insurance validation service. And they require the new policy three days before the old one expires. But the new policy doesn't exist yet. Because the old one hasn't expired. 030

Ross @trusty.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It is devalued in the sense that if your CPE was more than 5 years ago it is categorically invalid and you must do it again. Because they need the supervisor's Report to be current. 000
Ross @trusty.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I find it strange that the experience of CPE is so devalued meanwhile the CPE supervisor's Report on you is treated like liquid gold. (At least in my context) 100

Ross @trusty.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Sorry to be morally elitist or whatever but I don’t get the appeal of The Hulk. He represents the need to repress anger. Okay. It’s not complex enough to be worth being a main character in film after film after film. Like we get it 231
Ross @trusty.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yeah unfortunately it’s too late to do this as this is my last year subbing before I move onto new church work. Had I known the ordination process would be multiple years slower than I was told, I would have done a program like this in 2023 and been a licensed teacher since then. 120
Ross @trusty.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yeah and I almost did that while my parents lived there. But now I live in Illinois, which has the strongest licensing requirements in the country 220
