The Phoenix is great for jump starting creation, but were talking about micro-surgery on the soul. That requires a human touch. That makes me vulnerable.

And the life it represents. Having no free will means total absolution for responsibility. No matter what happens, its not my fault. You cant imagine how tempting--!.

(X-men: the end, book 2: heroes & martyrs #6 p.11 .Forgot who was talking--either Prof.X or Kitty Pryde)
While the X-men have always existed to protect us from those dwell in the abyss, the school is ever focused on that summit.
Why humanity is fractured, I do not know—why some of us have enhanced genes and others not—but that should not, must not matter...for fundamentally we all come from the same stock.
We born of this world, composed of the same raw materials as the cosmos itself, a potentially magnificent family of sentient beings.
We fight because we must, that is reality. But why we fight must never be forgotten.

'soul' was meant to be emboldened-- `_` something about how comics know when to embolden a word even if a character say isn't consistently loud.

Hi Modal, met you in chat the other night! I like what you say above about "surgery on the soul", sounds like something I wish I could have done. Hope you're doing well! :)
As juvenile as this might be to express..a 'power fantasy' as to what sort of voice I'd like in establishing 'come-uppance' to specific past harassers..

Being told about the tax thing online from one of my jobs
Having biked as much as I have including 'finding a new route' out of Westdale to go back east
My parents returning/incoming from their trip
Printing
Chocolate almond milk
Being able to cancel a continuing charge on a social bike trip at an hq, barely before it closed (the representative was kindly)
My parents returning and the novelty of their baggage.
What they have to say about the trip.

I don't like camelflage patterned fashion.
When you hear your mom talk about your dad's non sobriety and issues w/assertiveness for others.
Genderized takes on standing up for others'.
My mom saying how no one *going into* El Salvador from the .U.S. was allowed in unless they agreed to quarantine.
Meh. My opinion on COVID-19.
I didn't like the time we bonded over a cousin's attempt at a 'diss rap' over someone they had feelings for, I don't like a family group chat being filled w/COVID-19 related memes.
