This immediately reminded me of my favorite demonstration of Lawful Neutrality: Inspector Lestrade in "Without a Clue."

"Half a tick, Mr. Holmes. Ye can't go walkin' into someone's residence, pokin' about their personal possessions, disruptin' their privacy... That's for Scotland Yard."

Maybe it's just where I live and the denominations around me, but the only people I've ever seen wearing clericals are Catholic priests.

Giving up Bluesky for 40 days is going to be *really* hard and my advice to other people is always humility over heroism, so -- perhaps I need to have a Lenten fast that's a bit less extreme. Bluesky for thirty minutes in the evening? Suggestions?
