Shiny new vicar in the #CofE; I love God, board / computer / roleplaying games, bad puns, being autistic, coffee, bad puns, repetition, and self-referential humour. Husband of 1, dad of 2.
So, while I agree that one is a bit dodge, others in the series are the opposite of this: they give the largest chunk to those who do the cooking or shopping, or remember everyone's birthday - exactly the kind of household chores that women are more likely to do and less likely to be thanked for.

Respectfully, I think the Vice-President of the United States using one of the biggest platforms ever to spout unChristian nonsense merits a bit more than "aw diddums". There are a lot of people who will believe him; they need to hear this nonsense called out for what it is.

![A stick figure comic published by xkcd.
[A girl with long black hair and a professor who looks like Megan stand together. The girl points to a man in the distance.]
Girl: Professor, that man claims the earth is 6,000 years old!
Professor: So? Just use your head and don't concern yourself overmuch with what other people think.
[The man is gone and the girl is no longer pointing but just talking to the professor.]
Girl: But he says the fossils in the mountains were put there in a flood!
Professor: Well, evidence suggests that they were not.
Girl: But he--
[A mountain landscape with blue sky to the left with white clouds, gray clod cover to the right and gray mountains below. The most prominent peak is just right of the middle, but there are 14 small and large peaks all in all.]
Professor (off-panel): A million people can call the mountains a fiction, yet it need not trouble you as you stand atop them.
[The girl throws her hands in the air while the professor just looks at her.]
Girl: But he believes the silliest things!
Professor: So?
[The girl has her arms down again and looks on the talking professor.]
Professor: The universe doesn't care what you believe.
Professor: The wonderful thing about science is that it doesn't ask for your faith, it just asks for your eyes.
[The girl and professor talks.]
Girl: But he's a US senator!
Professor: Ah, then yes, we do have a bit of a situation.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:a6oyshmgmuv63kfknyucrfbh/bafkreifeiwho5xtfwqabe6w5g7f2rygjwbhflzosedojbu6pzdeyt2owlm@jpeg)

And you just know my sons will be up before the crack of dawn to celebrate. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, Happy Christmas, friends. God bless you all. #clergymaltclub

Not even a month in post and I'm already up the tower! I really do love my new church, and these bells are beautiful. Shame I couldn't get onto the roof, but I'm not going to challenge that storm!

Spotted in the West Yorkshire Archive Service the other day - don't you just wish your name was Baron F Duckham? Ok, you'd be a martyr to spoonerisms, but who wouldn't want a name like a villain from a 1980s kid's TV show!?

Day off. We're snowed in so I'm playing hide-and-seek with my son, except he's forgotten all about me and is reading a book. This wouldn't be so bad if I weren't hidden in the wardrobe in the same room as him! I dont want to distract him from reading, but my leg is going to sleep. #DadLife #SendHelp

Good evening, Bluesky! After abortive dalliances with other apps, I'm hoping to make this my online home.
Today is my tenth day as a vicar, and I woke up to this beautiful scene. Sadly I couldn't stop and appreciate it - it's been a hectic day. But that's done now, time for cake and the Bake-Off.
