I've really loved reading everyone's various viewpoints on Cygnus! I find myself agreeing (at least a little bit) with all of them, because everyone is bringing a valuable perspective to the table.

You guys always do a great job of conversing respectfully in the comment section below, but since Cygnus seems to be such a polarizing character, I want to add this:

One great thing I learned in 2019 was... when you find yourself disagreeing with someone, instead of trying to change their mind, you could instead ask yourself, "I wonder why this person thinks this way." Genuine wonder is key; it helps you humanize the person you're talking to (which is so valuable, especially online) and opens yourself up to curiosity without assumptions or judgment.
