Of the three seasons during which I guide tours in Churchill, #aurora season is by far of the most stressful, because we have no control over what people are coming up to see. Tonight’s show was a big relief and a huge excitement for my guests. Now I can sleep. 😊
Unbelievably smooth looking beige and peach bird with black eye mask and jaunty head crest is perched on a bare twig look intensely at something. The weekend?
Looking forward to the weekend like

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...
Yet another tragedy to remind us that our roads MUST be made safer for pedestrians and bicyclists. The deaths of Andreia & Gerry Goldberg were preventable. Their memories live on as a blessing and a call to a public health mindset on this issue. www.denverpost.com/2026/03/04/b...

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.
Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.
Newspaper clipping showing the front page of the Chicago Sunday Tribune's Society section from August 28, 1927. Under NEWS OF CHICAGO SOCIETY are pictures of four 1920s society dames who look like they're planning one last caper before they leave the life for good. A column to the right lists their names and the fact that they are to be September brides.
disappointed this article isn't about how these 4 women can't resist one last heist before they go legit
![Kgan dissent
Substantive due process has not been of late in the good graces of this Court—and especially of the Members of today’s majority. The Due Process Clause, needless to say, does not expressly grant parental rights of any kind. The relevant text bars a State only from depriving a person of “liberty” “without due process of law.” Members of the majority often have expressed skepticism—sometimes outright hostility—to understanding the “capacious” term “liberty” to enshrine specific
rights. Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization...(2022). Substantive due process, one has
stated, is a “particularly dangerous” “legal fiction” because
it “invites judges” to “roa[m] at large in the constitutional
field guided only by their personal views.” McDonald v.
Chicago...(2010) (THOMAS , J., concurring
in part and concurring in judgment); Obergefell v. Hodges,
...(2015) (THOMAS , J., dissenting). [see footnote 2] Another has pointed to the “judicial misuse of the so-called ‘substantive component’ of due process to dictate policy on
matters that belonged to the people to decide.” Sessions v.
Dimaya, ...(2018) (GORSUCH , J., concurring
in part and concurring in judgment). And yet a third, when
defending the Court’s elimination of a 50-year-old right
grounded in substantive due process, explained that the
“Constitution does not grant the nine unelected Members of
this Court the unilateral authority to rewrite the Constitution.” Dobbs, 597 U. S., at 340 (KAVANAUGH , J., concur-
ring). There are many such statements to choose from in
this Court’s recent substantive due process caselaw. Especially given the Court’s last venture into the field, today’s..

Footnote 2
For that reason, JUSTICE THOMAS has called for overruling “all” of this
Court’s “substantive due process precedents.” Dobbs...(concurring opinion). That invitation presumably extends to the

Screenshot from show Deadloch of someone in camo who is playing a retail worker at a sporting goods store carrying a sign that says “now is the winter of our discount tents!” over a cartoony tent.
I’ve been rewatching season one of #Deadloch in anticipation of season 2 coming out soon, the show is so packed with jokes, often subtle, I completely missed this sign pun first time through:

This is fantastic and honestly quite hopeful, because communities actually have a lot of levers they can pull to slow or obstruct these new camps. We've already seen the power of community organizing in compelling cities and towns to take steps opposing projects.
