This. Although the last few years i have started to feel the emergence of the “you are not from here” crowd. First shy. Lately louder and louder.
One thing I love about Toronto is I've never encountered even one single person doing "you're not FROM here". No one is gatekeeping the identity of being from Toronto. I felt it immediately when I moved here as an adult and it's a big reason Toronto feels like home.

It is quite a thing to watch American scientific superiority being trashed away by its own government.
BREAKING: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is illegally closing 13 campus buildings (including ~100 laboratories).

"possibilities, not hard stops" -- this is one reason why a recent trend in interviewing on album cycles has been kind of mystifying to me: people will ask me to sort of summarize the song. but that's not how songs work! their job begins where the tidy explanation ends!

Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.
