wireless canary

People who are sensitive to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and radiation (EMR) from power lines, household appliances, wi-fi, cellphones, etc.

Like the canaries once used in coal-mines, these are the first people to suffer from electrosensitivity. They either become sick, or need to move as a result. Symptoms include anxiety, troubles sleeping, brain fog, and loss of coordination.

Canaries

The homosexual pioneers who move into an undesirable area, carve out a home for themselves, and transform it into an up-and-coming neighborhood, or "gayborhood."

Like canaries in a mine, if they survive, others can stay and thrive, as well.
The rapid influx of canaries served as the saving grace for a neighborhood that was otherwise doomed to a future void of bright colors and Chardonnay.
